Dog Pile: Earmarks, Society's Downfall

Let's start with ... eliminat[ing] all earmarks - John McCain Speech to GOPAC, 11/16/2006

I will veto every bill with earmarks, until the Congress stops sending bills with earmarks ... I will make them famous, and you will know their names. You will know their names. -Same
Guy

Forget for a moment that McCain voted for the bailout plan, despite the loads of earmarks included. I would hate to question the integretah of the man.

Let's take a moment to discuss earmarks. Or, as they are also known, 'the devil'. What have earmarks done for you? Thanks to Sunlight Foundation's Earmarks page you can enter your zip code, click on the legal mumbo jumbo and read exactly what your representatives have been doing with your money.

I'm lucky. In my city there have been two earmarks listed since September, 2007. They went to support employment and education. Not bad for the corrupt government. Surely McCain would have vetoed those, even knowing how they would have helped my community.

In case you're tired of all this bad news, here's a link to the poetry of Sarah Palin. When she says;

It is obvious to me
Who the good guys are in this one
And who the bad guys are.
The bad guys are the ones
Who say Israel is a stinking corpse,
And should be wiped off
The face of the earth.

That's not a good guy.

then all of this this almost all makes sense.
