"Taxpayers for Common Sense estimates earmarks in the bill total $7.7 billion -- or 1.9 percent of the total bill -- while Democrats estimate the number is $3.8 billion -- or 0.9 percent -- and the Republican staff of the House Appropriations Committee estimate the number is $5.5 billion -- or 1.3 percent." http://mediamatters.org/items/200903110037?f=h_top
This is not news. We knew this already. And we dislike it as much as we do a Democrat and earmarks. These Republicans have to go (or they'd better change their ways ... if they can) We will not tolerate this in our party.
