Earmarks should be outlawed. They are nothing more then pork politics and cost us , the taxpayers, a bundle for projects that are worthless to all but a few.

Does CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson make a business of sliming Democrats?

It certainly seems that way.
I''''d like to review her financials.
I think I know what I''''d find.

Freedom of the press (media) is a two way street, sometimes chicken-sometimes feathers, get used to it.

Yet another compelling reason to institute Congressional term limits.

That is the description of a revolution. I don''t feel it is far off myself. The people are not going to take much more of this fake government being run from a shadow government.

Earmarks are nothing more than a bribe payoff from an organized crime syndicate (a political party) and one of
its members. RE-ELECT NOBODY!

Your elections are cooked a bit more than you realize, more than your wildest dreams. Ron Pauls low vote count proves that.

America is a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy secretly being run by a spy ring from Israel.

Right on, we as a country need to wake up and look at our representatives as the really are, greedy crooks. I say flush ''em all out, and lets start anew, by electing our officials on their qualifications, not how much money they can pull. Stop lobbying Lobbying is just a way of letting corporations run the government instead of the people.

wont work ... the system is terribly broken. those that can fix it are the same that benefit from it staying the same.

it''s getting progressively worse ... now they''re just ignoring the rule of law and p!ss!ing on the constitution right out in the open. no sign in sight that it''s about to change.
