[PatriotWatchUSA]

RHINO-

[ArannaV]

WE SOOO NEED MORE FLAKES IN THIS BOWL OF NUTS AND FRUITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see this guy run for President:-))

[r5t6y12]

Rep. Flake's reaction is HILARIOUS. He looks DUMBFOUNDED (as I would also).

How can Rep. Visclosky come up with an answer like that?

"If the center does not exist, the monies could not go to it"

[escaflownewings]

gotta love bureaucracy, have no idea whats going on with what

[warman58]

Good to see my tax dollars are being wisely spent and not stolen by congressmen and their friends.

[bubthegreat1]

Wow, Go Rep. Flake!!

[okmijnokmijnokmijn]

He is my dad! My name is Tanner Flake. He is the best Dad ever!

[okmijnokmijnokmijn]

Jeff Flake is my dad! My name is Tanner Flake.

[petergabrielfan34]

Jeff Flake for President 2012!

[GrapplerJMo]

well, maybe one day he can take john mccain's senate seat to help his jump to the white house.

[eluminated]

This guy Flake seems pretty cool! Good for him! Kinda like a Ron Paul-type honest, sincere representative! Hopefully he gets on a national stage, although I'm sure the republican elite don't like his kind very much! (nor would the Dems if he were one of them) I wonder if this earmark got voted down.

[Womanizer2985]

You're right. He pissed them off so much that they took him off the Approps Committee. The reason? He wasn't just going after Dem pork, he went after GOP pork too! I'm an independent and I don't agree with all of his positions but I have so much respect for the man. We're proud to have him in Arizona. I hope he runs for Governor.

[eluminated]

Well here you have it folks! Yet another example of the corrupt right wing stealing our tax dollars and handing them over to their evil corporate friends! Another injustice to add to the pile created by the horrible Republi..... Oh! Wait! That guy saving us money IS a REPUBLICAN! And the people doing the stealing ARE DEMOCRATS! OMG! Wait until Obama hears about this! He is gonna be SO disappointed! Good thing he can claim never to have heard these things!

[erik24077]

way to call out murtha

[LibertyCola]

Jeff is a hero! Flake 2012!

[Shroommate]

It's ridiculous how crooked our congressman are. We are paying tax dollars so these crooks can get rich. Who is in charge of oversight for stuff like this?

[swalker711]

flakeoffice comments have been disabled. Hats off to rocmycar for adding it for comments. Seems at the end of this video that the rest of the house did not want to address this earmark. I, too, am glad there is true debate in the House. I, also, like the comment at the end of the prison museum earmark in Kansas, on how much money is being given to Corporate America for the War.

[truthforamerica]

Now here is politician who is looking out for the taxpayer. Hats off to him!

[someguy5554]

Jeff Flake is a true hero. His fight for the American taxpayer is truly inspirational.

I can see him being the Ron Paul of the 2016 presidential election.

Jeb Hensarling is posted in the back

[drcrutch]

Jeff makes the Indiana representative look like an idiot. The response that the "money can't go to the center IF it doesn't exist." The Indiana Congressman needs to listen to what he just said--and listen to Flake's question.

[JakeandElwoodBlues]

That's Pete Visclosky from Gary, Indiana. A complete moron he is.
