@noahph --Earmarks are complicated, but as I understand it money is set aside to spend. States vie for that money. If money isn't spent, then Obama gets to spend it any way he wishes. Dr. Paul is just trying to prevent him from getting a "blank check. I agree with Dr. Paul on that! Congress should spend money, not the President.
Made even more laughable as even now after the stimulus bill had a gigantic amount of ear marks, Obama in the past week announced he'd passed it with NO EARMARKS!
Good news folks, now we all know what it's like to feel sodomized by a lie!

President Obama never promised to end earmarks. Even in the video, he promises to 'reform the earmark process'. He has been true to his word on the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which passed with no earmarks. It was the Omnibus bill which had earmarks. Of those earmarks, (1% of the bill), about half were Republican and half Democrats. However, the Republicans managed half of the earmarks with a vast minority in congress. On a per capita basis, the Republicans actually spent more.
I'm completely not shocked at all. It is exactly your way of thinking that I expected- I have a reasonable debate with you and you insult me.
You are the reason this country cannot have a conversation about Gun Rights or Race or discuss anything reasonable without crying about extraneous bullshit.
I made a mental note when I heard it for the first time on the news because I absolutely knew it was a lie....well, there you have it. Of course the liberals will go to default mode by claiming republicans are just as bad so in their own minds, that gives them an automatic pass. After the liberals claiming for 8 years that Bush lied, this is an excellent example how they couldn't tell a lie if their lives depended on it.
He's a lying sack of shit who's just a good talker and BS artist. But you can't worry about the hardcore liberals; their ears and eyes are closed and will continue to toe the line and drink the kool-aid. We need to rally those on the fence who we can still reach out to. If we can get the moderates over to the side of conservatives, we can slowly but surely begin to get rid of the morons like Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Schumer, etal. Or at the very least, we can neutralize their power and influence

that is about the recovery bill... and he even clearly states in THIS collage he plans to REFORM the earmark process because it has been abused... that doesn't mean ELIMINATE them.
this is the same idiot (obama) that blasted mccain about earmarks and spending on the campaign trail last year. now this incompetent liar, straight faced lied to people. conservatives/republicans wake up and let's get our shit together. we need to get him and the rest of those losers out in 2010/2012!!

Look asshole REpublicans. you got to have earmarks to get things done in the congresses districts. if you done ever do anything for your district or state, you'll get voted out. So stop bitching about earmarks
Or if the federal government stopped taxing the hell out of everyone only to hand it back to the states through earmarks, we could lower federal taxes, so that states could raise theirs and pay for their shit with their own money without ever needing an earmark.
This guy is a joke! He just said today. "I didn't say I wanted to eliminate earmarks, just curb the," I think this video proves your a LIAR! Now watch all his socialist sheep defend him.
People are getting outraged.....but since his is the first black president...and maybe the last...he is being shielded from the criticism he deserves....he cant even speak without a teleprompter.,....Obama is just a good reader...HE SUCKS AS A LEADER.....
obama promised a lot of things...... and if you believed him, you are an idiot

Those that say earmarks are good are the same as those saying unions are good.
Both ideas have a good concept, but they have been so distorted, abused and warped they no longer resemble anything good from their former selves.

Earmarks are good because they:
-address miscellaneous items and projects that the general budget did not address
-can create jobs
and
-improve infastruce, commerce and agencies.

Agreed.
We need to only provide the necessary essentials as outlayed by the consitution and leave things like law enforcement, education, etc. to the states
