We Saw It Coming: Earmarks For The Pro-Lifers (a.k.a., Traitors!)
From FoxNews.com:http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/29/pro-life-democrats-switched-vote-health-request-billions-earmarks/
Why, oh why am I not surprised?
If there is any rumors about backroom deals, sweethearts or any way you wish to call it, this is it, people. After we were Stupacked now FOX reveals the list below, where there is gonna be closely monitored by a “watchdog” group to make sure those earmarks will be put to work and not to buy out votes for November.
The individual earmarks requests from each of those lawmakers range from $20 million to $1.4 billion. Of the eight lawmakers whose 2010 requests were available for comparison, five requested more money than they did a year ago. Stupak requested $579 million.
Here are the earmark amounts requested by the 11 House Democrats in the 2011 bill:
Rep. Jerry Costello of Illinois.: $1,418.7 million ($256.4 million in 2010)
Rep. Solomon Ortiz of Texas: $618 million ($726.1 million in 2010)
Stupak of Michigan: $578.9 million
Rep. Steve Driehaus of Ohio: $332.2 million
Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio: $294 million ($305.7 million in 2010)
Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania: $236.8 million ($54 million in 2010)*
Rep. James Oberstar of Minnesota.: $207 million ($226 million in 2010)
Rep. Brad Ellsworth of Indiana.: $115.4 million ($82.3 million in 2010)
Rep. Charles Wilson of Ohio: $84 million ($62.3 million in 2010)
Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania.: $67.1 million
Rep. Joseph Donnelly of Indiana: $19.8 million ($11.65 million in 2010)
FYI: Kathy Dahlkemper will receive a nice visit from the Tea Party Express bus on April 11, 2010.
The Sunlight Foundation is the “watchdog” group, and we should not only rely on them to see where all the money goes, but ourselves as good Americans that may or may not have these individuals in their own districts, and/or their state.

Oh, Them Democrats…They Want Rose Petals From Conservatives!
HA! And even that would not be enough to satisfy the need for being more PC than we are already in this world right now. Which is ridiculous and silly in itself. We are adults dealing with adults here, and there is absolutely no excuse for microscopic wording.
Different episodes of threats to both Democrats and Republicans have filled all media available. I call it a shame, a joke, and I don’t want to go as far as to say this is a tactic from liberals and Progressives that either wanted the bill to become law, or didn’t want it passed. The end does not justify the means, but then that is contrary to what Barack Obama believes, and all these people that surrounded him all his life.
Politics Daily placed an article regarding Sarah Palin and her new “offensive tactic“, which is basically similar to what Barack Obama preached during his campaign in 2008. From her Facebook page:
Focus on the goal and fight for it. If the gate is closed, go over the fence. If the fence is too high, pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, parachute in. If the other side tries to push back, your attitude should be “go for it.” Get in their faces and argue with them. (Sound familiar?!) Every possession is a battle; you’ll only win the war if you’ve picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!
