Guy who requested $740 million in earmarks on Palin: You can’t really be for change i

He hasn't needed to ask for that many. The other Senator from Arizona asked for nearly $100 million in earmarks in 2007.

A tax cut means a person/industry/company gets to keep more of its' money. The money is the persons/industries/companies money, not the governments, that is, until the government takes it from the person/industry/company and earmarks it for another person/industry/company.

Earmark is Australian for "buying votes".

OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.

In 18 months Palin cut earmarks by 50%.

The problem with you, Willow is that you're not paying attention.

The bill passed 75-24 on Wednesday. If John McCain would've voted no, the bill would've passed 74-25. John McCain's vote was irrelevant except for the fact that he voted YES for $150 billion worth of earmarks. If McCain would've voted no, the bill would've still passed but it would've made HUGE news all over the country and probably could've gotten him the White House. Instead, he says one thing and does another.

Slaves? LOL... in other words, you lie like a rug and expect us to prove you wrong.

yah... we'll go do that. sure...

dunno, maybe he's as stupid as you. somehow, i don't think so. As for your "articles"... I'm sure they ARe what you want because they're pretty vapid.

Don't shoot the messenger! Someone asked for a list of the earmarks and here they are. (Or should I say 'hear' they are?)

Oh really? Then what's this story about?

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politic...cainland_N.htm

AND Palin, his running mate has Palin has more more earmarks request per person than any other state. Mind you, the city of Houston, TX has a larger population than the state of Alaska.

What's the matter with you? That's money that the Red Cross NEEDS.

And John McCain voted FOR $150 billion worth of earmarks. This is, after he promised to veto ANY bill that had earmarks. So which is it? Is he going to start rejecting earmarks after he becomes president or did he not even read that bill that he just signed?

I'm not wrong asswipe. if I am prove it.

he didn't ask for any earmarks for the state of Arizona.

Are you serious? I mean, are your standards that low for a person you have to find out what the meaning of "is" is? Come on, Willow. This was his promise at the RNC.

"MCCAIN: I've fought the big spenders...I've fought the big spenders in both parties, who waste your money on things you neither need nor want, and the first big-spending pork-barrel earmark bill that comes across my desk, I will veto it. I will make them famous, and you will know their names. You will know their names."

Why is he saying that he will veto a bill that he just signed on for? Will he add his name to the list of names we will know? Come on, Willow. You seem like an intelligent gal - PLEASE tell me you're not looking the other way on this.

Semantics. Whether the government takes money from you and then gives it back, or just takes less is the same damn thing.

If that's what you believe God help ya.

Its not "belief" its fact. Whether the government takes $50 and gives you $30 is the exact same thing as if the government takes $20.
