Mr. Boehner, who never has sponsored an earmark in his congressional career, earlier this year convinced his fellow House Republicans to refrain from inserting them into legislation until end of the year. But pet projects remain popular with senior lawmakers of both parties, so it's uncertain if he can shepherd through a permanent ban.
The top earmarkers in both the House and Senate are Republicans, even after the GOP has spent much of the past year making fiscal restraint and runaway government spending the centerpiece of its political message.
Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.) and Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) — both atop defense spending panels — led their respective bodies in securing earmarks, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Taxpayers for Common Sense.

There is hope yet. Go Mr. Speaker ! Between this & Ron Paul Chairing the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, it is going to be a complete shock to the corrupt Washington System.

Verb 1. earmark - give or assign a resource to a particular person or cause; "I will earmark this money for your research"

The problem is those on the right don't understand how things work. They are not real bright. It's their kind that gave us two Republican administrations who ran this country into the ground.
A "perfect" example. I know Republicans will laugh at this because they don't understand how things work.
Remember when John McCain laughed at "earmarks" being spent studying honeybees? To him, as well as most Republicans, honeybees are terrible insects that sting. They don't understand that nearly our entire agricultural economy depends on "honeybees" and scientists don't understand why they are dying, and by dying, threatening America's entire food supply.
OK, let the jokes begin. Go ahead Republicans. Show us how stupid you really are.
On your earmark:
Get set:
GO!

Not going to joke with you, however as a Republican I cannot speak for Sen. McCain but will say most that I know of understand the relationship between honeybee's and agriculture. However like me some tend to believe that research into these things should be sponsored by the agriculture sector and not the American taxpayer or for that matter grants given through private industry or individuals. When the Govt. is more solvent then money can be allocated for such things as honeybee research and a whole host of other of what I am sure worthy research programs.
Speaker John Boehner has never sponsored an earmark in his congressional career !
I was aware of that, and have always been impressed. It's a good reason he will become speaker; he practices what he preaches.The Washington Times
