Did these guys learn nothing from November?
Rush said something like that the bill was originally drafted in Feb. of this year. Way before November. That is no defense of the boneheads but apparently Reid pulled this bill out of his back pocket at the last minute.
“Cochran had 281 earmarks worth $561 million, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) had 48 earmarks worth $113 million and Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander had 47 earmarks worth $75 million.”
BUT THEY WERE GOING TO VOTE AGAINST THE BILL!!
Why doesn’t the article list the Rat earmarks?
Sickening biased media! Rat propagandists.
‘Thud’ Cochran is an Earmark King from way back, only rivaled by the late Bobby Byrd.
Time to stop swallowing as whole cloth anything the Rats and media tells you????
Those were earmarks they considered months ago - BEFORE they made a no earmarks pack.
Sen Inouye slipped them into the bill without any notification - precisely to pull the stunt: "look! Hypocrites."
I'm thinking that may have been the tipping point that made the 9 pubbies reverse course in disgust.
The dems hoisted themselves...

Looks as though both Cochran and Wicker need to go. Mississippi looks to be the consummate welfare state. Mississippi, home of the outdoor toilet, needs to quit living off the rest of the states.
