How many earmarks did President Bush add? thousands of earmarks!!! the willing ignorance of the American people is the only thing that keeps the Republican Party in office. earmarks are how states get federal funding for state programs-like a tax rebate- the question is where is this money going, whats being funded and who's spending it! maybe the Mainstream news Could spend some time on these subjects :)
Really about 97% of Congress are corrupt, power hungry and are only in it for their own, their families and close friends interests. Why do you think Congress has its lowest approval rating ever?
This is another example of why we need to drastic cut the size of the federal government so earmarks and corruption wouldn't exist.
I just love it how Congress thinks it is their money...
Now that Dems have control, discussion of earmarks is all the rage. Where were you when the Repubs were doing it? Yes, earmarks are bad. Solution? Vote out all encumbents who support them, whatever your party.
This nearly made me sick. I am certainly against earmarks and the things that are happening in relation to them, but the tone of propaganda was overwhelming. Even if I agree with the propaganda, I still know it's wrong. There was no need to interview a bunch of conservatives face-to-face and then quote all the Democrats in a sneeringly sarcastic voice. I guess now that FOX has gone off the deep end, CNN feels it must step up to the plate.
It's not "your" money, it's the government's money that they take from you through force/coercion. There is no incentive to spend it effectively since it's obtained by waving guns around.
This was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing it - I put it up my site too!!
Although I am a Republican, I have to say that I don't think that this is a Democratic only problem. The fact that our system is set up to allow this is outrageous. We need an overhaul of how our Congress works, with the ability to line veto by the President, in order to clean up Washington. And who killed the line item veto back in the early 90s? Our very own Rudy Giuliani.
The House of Rep. in this Democratic controlled Congress is more like a Whore House. GO REPUBLICAN!Republicans can afford to pay taxes but don't want to...like normal people would want. Demo's can not afford to pay taxes but want to pay them...like retards would want.
Way to go Congress! I love the fact that our politicians can STEAL our tax money so easily, and they're grinning all the way to the bank. I'm sure our soldiers that desperately need supplies would be SO proud...
i like the twelve votes one star rating on this vid. progressive democratics won't dare type a word in defence of this, but they shure are upset and angered that people are discussing it.

Everybody gets tax rebates. If you actually watch the news you'll see there's a bias for Democrats.
Seriously though, name an earmark.
....wait, you don't know what that is.

Earmarking is done by both sides, and is equally wrong no matter who does it.
Earmarking needs to be stopped. It is a easy way fro anyone in congress to get money for almost anythig they want.

1) Congress does such a great job with our money
2) That's why I want them to take over our healthcare
3) That way our healthcare will be as efficient as FEMA was during Katrina, our public schools are with educating our kids
4) In Congress we trust

I do especially admire Robert "KKK" Byrd's reasoning that to publicize pork would only lead to more of it. See? The secrecy's for your own good!
