I know I have been in the minority here over the "bailout bill" however this isn't what I backed, but...


New Tax Earmarks/Pork In Bailout Bill -

Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502) -
Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503) -
Earmarks for litigants in 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)
Tax earmark “extenders” in the bailout bill. -
Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308) -
American Samoa (Sec. 309) -
Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310) -
Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311) -
Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312) -
Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315) -
Railroads (Sec. 316) -
Auto Racing Tracks (317) -
District of Columbia (Sec. 322) -
Wool Research (Sec. 325)


...but I do still believe that something needed to be done. However, these earmarks are just over the top! Wooden Arrows designed for use by children? Wool Research? COME ON! I know some of you will jump on McCain for voting yes even with the earmarks, but he knew something needed to be done too. It's just too bad the boys around him needed to be bribed to get their yes vote. This is a PERFECT place for a line item veto! I'm sure now that the dust has settled and we clearly see what got voted on, John McCain will name names and make famous those that sponsored the pork in this bill! Sadly, we may have to wait until after the election to know who to throw eggs at!

Someone has taped McCain's mouth shut or he refuses to be the candidate he should be..I want to kick him in the butt. He is getting on my nerves with his nicey nice game playing.

I would be ripping everyone of those creeps up on The HIll that call themselves DEMOCRATS.
