Congressman Tim Ryan Makes the Case for Earmarks

[Theozland]

2012 Tim your country needs you NOW! Run Run Run

[Bulldgman]

Tim Ryan is a puppet for Nancy Pelosi!

If you live in the 17th District we need to vote him out!!! WE need to be heard.

I ask everyone living in the 17th District to support Jim Graham (R) You will be heard!!

[PeterSenderos]

wow, i think i just felt the american dream

[spunkets]

weird.

i totally get what this guy is saying.

This is what makes us called, "The United States," viz., each state pays money to the federal government in order to fund emergencies in other states.

Does that make sense? I think so.

We have agreed to look out for each other. When we fail in our responsibilities, one to another, (e.g., Katrina), we are no longer really, or even imaginably, United.

Are we?

Also comparing a civil sense of comm_unity to "communism" is plain ignorant.

[bbook7]

ryan you're a fraud. the "we're all in this together" is so communist.

[troyflowers]

How is that communist? He's not wanting to nationalize any industry. "We're all in this together" is a common sentiment during wartime and times of national crisis.

[clausbohm]

Investing in the nuts and bolts of the US is not unnessasary. Jesus, we need to be thinking like Americans, helping each other!

Go Ryan ... keep it up!

Congressman Ryan made some wonderful points about earmarks--they really have been demonized, but they are essential to communities like Youngstown, OH.

[jshmtred]

Tim Ryan should be Obama's running mate.

TIM RYAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!
