Apparently either you didn't read my other posts or reading comprehension is off. Not one of my posts were partisan, NOT ONE

I don't quite get your comment then, or else I'm reading more into it than necessary. I guess we can agree on this... earmarks are bad more often than not.

I think your reading from a partisan angle and the fact that you don't get the point what the Republicans and tea party campaigned on concerning earmarks and the business as usual no matter who is control mentality, I can't help you

Sad that you feel the need to put your skin color in front of all your accomplishments and pride rather than simply being an American and proud.

I'm always ashamed when these moments of hypocrisy show up. But I'm more ashamed of my own party's voters than I am of the politicians. (although I whack them as well).

Grow a set voters, have some character. Don't make it so blatantly obvious that you only want penalties called on the other team.

sad that it bothers you to the point that your still responding...but here....I will post my accomplishments for you one more time in bold.

Yes I'm a Black and Proud woman, I'm extremely proud of my accomplishments as a Black Woman, Black Mother and Black American. If YOU can not say that you are proud to be who you are or your nationality, then that is a issue that you will need to take up with yourself and your god if you believe in one. SMH

Yes my user name is blackandproud, GET OVER IT

EVIL HIJACKERS!!!



The topic for today is earmarks and earmarks is the topic for the day. This has nothing to do with being white, black, red, yellow, pink, blue, purple or multi-colored. It has to do with earmarks.

Discuss!

What it really has to do with is a bunch of loudmouths chanting about eliminating earmarks, and cutting spending, then setting up a back door so they can fund their own special projects. Those that support those people, are mostly silent, except when trying to divert attention. Classic example of partisanship, without character.

This has likely been mentioned but remember that your pork/earmark is my sewer plant, upgraded water system or new ADA compliant sidewalks.
