"Don't Get Rid of Earmarks"

[OldMercsRule]

Rahm Emanuel is one of the brightest of the Clinton team, (full of very sharp people), now a wheel in the House o' Representatives.

I am only a mediocre salesman but I know a real good one when I see or meet one.

He could cornvince an Eskimo in Nome to buy a bushel of snow balls fer big dollars.

After readin' this, (prolly like smokin' some of PW2's stash), I'm ready to worship BIG NANNY GUBMINT.

"The New York Times", who else?????

Re: "Don't Get Rid of Earmarks"

What a load of bovine scatology. (Thank you, Stormin' Norman. )

A simple LINE ITEM VETO is what we need, not disguised pork barrel and otherwise undesirable earmarks.

The practice of adding stupid and unacceptable items, or any items, to a bill without debate or vote in order to force the President into either signing them or vetoing an otherwise needed bill is extortion, pure and simple. It needs to be eliminated. . . completely.
