Tea Party Caucus Takes $1 Billion In Earmarks

Of course, the hypocrites of the rethugliteacons are all for show. Let the pigs squeal when they want the pork. That "end to earmarks" thing died the day Rand Paul was elected.

You do realize that the promise on earmarks was for the 112'th Congress and the article posted from the link refers to the spending of the 111'th congress's 2010 fiscal year budget which ended on the 30'th of September. Methinks we have liars lying about the lying Republicans.

As an example from the above link:

quote:

Members of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus may tout their commitment to cutting government spending now, but they used the 111th Congress to request hundreds of earmarks that, taken cumulatively, added more than $1 billion to the federal budget.

The 111'th is the current Pelosian congress before the John Boehner and Republican earmark promise.

Also from the link:

If I might remind you, the 2010 Fiscal year is more than two months in the past and it had ended before the promise of no earmarks was made. Also please note that Democrats still run the show for another month, so any earmarks passed in the lame duck session will only happen with their blessing until January when the 112'th congress takes over.

No real revelation. I don't think rocky or juan read all of what they copy/paste from their "sources".
Or it could be they are simply "stoopid"...

CAGE/JOBE and his cute little avatars! Is this going to be the rest of the STOOPIDITY that the whole Foxifile crowd uses until January? The tea party crowd isn't in office yet? What about the CREATION of the tea party caucus and it's membership. Here is a list, these rethugliteacons led by MICHELE BACHMANN (and this is from HER website, although I am currently running software virus detectors to cleanse my pc) seem to have ALREADY been in congress!!!!!!! STOOOOOOOOOOOPID TEABAGGERS
