blackcoal in case you missed this post
Thank you brother .. but I didn't miss it.
Is this a backtrack/flip flop .. or did the Huffington Post just make this up?
Republicans Flip-Flop on Earmarks Issue
After realizing how difficult it will be to secure funding for projects such as fixing bridges and building water systems, Republicans in the House and Senate are having second thoughts about their votes in support of a blanket ban on earmarks.
Some are trying to redefine the term in order to give themselves wiggle room. GOP Rep. Jack Kingston said "we have gone one step further than we meant to go," while Rep. Michele Bachmann questioned how transportation gets funded without earmarks.
Meanwhile, left-leaning and libertarian commentators are having fun watching Republicans squirm as they "learn what the word ´Ban´ means," as Reason Magazine put it, while Outside the Beltway called the ban "purely symbolic and utterly pointless."

Hypocrite of the Week: Michele Bachmann, Earmark Flip-Flopper
Bachmann, the founding member of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus, protested her own partys push for an earmark ban after realizing she wouldnt be able to bring home government funding for her own pet projects.

Here's the problem with Americans and why we don't deserve good government .. WE'RE A NATION OF MORONS.
Both democrats and republicans will see, hear, and speak no evil as long as it's their party doing it.
Both parties lie and play their constituents like a stable of two-dollar whores .. and their constituents keep begging for more.
"Use me daddy"
Do whatever you want to me, this nation, and my family. Lie to my face .. piss on my head and tell me its raining .. I'll believe whatever the fuck you tell me.
American politics in a nutshell.
OK let's put it to a test when funding comes up for a vote lets see how that goes. Until then it's just wait and see wat happens.
So when they do what they've said they're going to do and flip flop on earmarks, which they most certainly will .. does that mean I can count on you to jump in this foxhole with me and take them to task for their hypocrisy?
