Between these two porkers they stuffed 155 earmarks in the "Omnibus" budget bill.
Aren't elections great.
There are a ton of Republicans on the list.
The next election will be even greater and will empty the trough and the sty.
Maybe they need to earmark some money for hearing aides. They can't hear. They sure as hell don't need glasses. None of them even read the crap they vote on.
UPDATE:
Congress's contempt for voters hits new high
The bill is exactly what the voters rejected on November 2nd. It's 1924 pages and will cost $1.1 trillion. No one has had a chance to read it, but Harry Reid hopes to ram it through in the last hours before Christmas. Does this sound familiar?

The Cap And Tax Trade Crowd Support Space, Sutton And Other Liberals In Ohio
The crowd that brought us Cap and Trade now is working hard to protect their extremist friends in Congress so they can pass even more environmental taxes. They, nor their congressmen, care that it will cost people money they can't afford and they don't care that their "science" is bogus.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Action Fund says new poll data shows that voters in regions with competitive House races prefer incumbent Democrats who support legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
The group’s survey looked at 23 congressional districts where the incumbent House Democrat voted in favor of last year’s contentious cap-and-trade bill. However, the survey did not specifically reference that bill or use the term “cap and trade” in questioning.
Their Ohio friends are Steve Driehaus (Ohio-1); Mary Jo Kilroy (Ohio-15); Space (Ohio-18); Betty Sutton (Ohio-13) and John Boccieri (Ohio-16)

Senate Millionaire Leader Reid Living Large At Ritz Carlton While Constituents Suffer
Harry says such talk is a "low blow." For who Harry? Your constituents? It's all about you isn't it?
The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C.
With an address convenient to the Golden Triangle commercial corridor, major private and public institutions and the neighborhoods of Georgetown and Dupont Circle, The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C. provide the premier urban alternative to a suburban lifestyle. From The Sports Club/LA fitness complex to fine retail stores and restaurants nearby, The Residences offer owners many conveniences as well as a dedicated residential team that provides the legendary services for which The Ritz-Carlton is renowned.
These Residences opened in October 2000. The developer has sold all homes at this property and no longer operates a sales office. To inquire about purchasing a home at this location, you may wish to contact real estate brokers in the Washington, D.C. area to determine whether any listings from residence owners may be available.
Yeah, unemployment hurts as you will see, Harry.

VFW-PAC Dissolved Over Ultra Liberal Endorsements
I am amazed it took this long for the VFW to react to the stain on their name.
VFW Dissolves ENTIRE VFW-Pac After Boxer Endorsement
Boxer isn't the only embarrassment for the VFW. Here are some in Ohio:
-JOHN A. BOCCIERI (D), Dist. 16-Canton, U.S. House of Representatives horrible endorsement
-STEVE DRIEHAUS (D), District 1-Cincinnati, U.S. House of Representatives horrible endorsement
-MARCIA L. FUDGE (D), Dist. 11-Shaker Heights, U.S. House of Representatives despicable endorsement
-MARCY KAPTUR (D), District 9-Toledo, U.S. House of Representatives despicable endorsement
-MARY JO KILROY (D), Dist. 15-Columbus, U.S. House of Representatives despicable endorsement
-ZACHARY T. SPACE (D), Dist. 18-Dover, U.S. House of Representatives horrible endorsement
-BETTY SUTTON (D), Dist. 13-Lorain, U.S. House of Representatives despicable endorsement
-CHARLES A. WILSON (D), Dist. 6-Bridgeport, U.S. House of Representatives horrible endorsement
It appears that these candidates still have the VFW-PAC endorsement listed. Shame on them and shame on VFW-PAC.

Oberstar Actually Got Some Fool Constituent To Donate To Him!
Ouch: Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., has just one donor from his district
With a potentially competitive race developing back home in Minnesota’s 8th District, Transportation Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar collected a contribution from just one resident of the district between June 22 and Sept. 30, according to a federal election report filed Wednesday.
Jane Robbins of Pine City gave Oberstar $500 on Aug. 22.
Other than that, all of his contributions came from political action committees, Native American tribes or individual donors in other districts and states.
With the policies that Oberstar supports, she should have pocketed the $500. She may need the savings to pay her taxes.

Obama Says Mere Voter Unable To "Think Clearly When Scared"
How about angry? Does anger about our government render us unable to think, ie vote, clearly? One of my new favorite blogs, Pundit and Pundette, thinks our Shrink In Chief isn't good at being either president or shrinkoligist. Maybe a psychoprezinmaybechief?
Therapist-in-Chief explains our "inability to think clearly" [!]
Go read the link above to find how unworthy we are. To the One, "We're not worthy." If only we could line up in front of Obama maybe we could rectify his poor opinion of us.

Kilroy's Path To Victory Is To Destroy Stivers
Ah, the inner-nana comes out at the best of times. Ohio's Mrs Obama wants to just love everyone, except that recalcitrant child Steve Stivers. Mommy rules the roost and Stivers better get that straight. Right?
Mary Jo Kilroy eyes a path to victory
"Steve Stivers will say anything to get elected because that's what lobbyists do."
Maybe it is the inner-schoolmarm
"He doesn't have core beliefs," she told POLITICO in an interview last week in a campaign headquarters reminiscent of an elementary school classroom, complete with a teacher's desk in the corner and a wall full of colored construction paper stars representing top volunteers. "He talks out of all sides of his mouth."
"I absolutely, 100 percent believe that a Republican majority would be very bad for the people of Ohio, very bad for the Midwest and very bad for the people of Ohio 15."
Recap from the Kilroy campaign; Kilroy good, Obama good, Democrats good, Stivers bad, Republicans bad and Democrats love their future while Republicans love the past and the voter isn't too bright.
My vote is decided. It isn't going to Nana nor her Nannanistas.

Charlie Wilson's War At Home
20 years can make a huge difference. In this case the big difference is and has been that the papers sat all alone in a courthouse and no news reporter ever looked at them or even tried to find them. These intrepid reporters could tell us when Eliot Spitzer did or didn't wear socks and what color they were during sex. They told us, showed us pictures and gave us descriptions of the toilet stall Larry Craig used at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Not so much reporting for beating the Hell out of a wife. Repeatedly. By an elected official.
Exclusive: Court Document Details Congressman’s Past Spousal Abuse
Of course this story isn't nearly as important as one depicting a battle reenactor.

First, NY Democrats Screwed Soldiers, Now Illinois (Chicago) Democrats
How desperate are Democrats to win? They'll screw soldiers serving overseas protecting them. I'm sure that NY and IL being Blue States has nothing to do with it, eh?
Military ballots may not count in Illinois
Democrats fund the murder of our troops, so just how important do you think they think a soldier's vote is to the nation those soldiers serve.

Boxer, Grijalva, Kucinich, Waxman Got Clearance For Code Pink To Personally Give $600K For Murder Of US Troops
Via Gateway Pundit
Breaking: Barbara Boxer Approved Code Pink Trip to Fallujah to Donate $600,000 to Extremists to Murder US Soldiers
Perhaps the most revealing window into Boxer’s true feelings towards our military is her close alliance with Code Pink, a radical leftist group that reviles American troops as terrorists and assassins while praising their enemies as freedom fighters. For years, Code Pink has viciously harassed wounded veterans and their families outside Walter Reed Hospital, even telling the mother of a slain Navy Seal that her son “deserved to die.” Code Pink actively supports terror groups such as Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, Hezbollah and al Qaeda.
...
Code Pink’s leaders had just returned from Fallujah, Iraq, where 51 Americans had been killed and 560 wounded in the US Marines’ heaviest urban combat since the Vietnam War. Code Pink delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies to the very insurgents the Marines had been fighting against - quite literally giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies in a time of war. As noted in Islam Online, a diplomatic courtesy letter from Barbara Boxer helped make the trip possible.
(emphasis by Gateway Pundit)
Why the re-election of these people is in question is a mystery to me. They should be serving in Leavenwoth.

VFW-PAC and NRA Endorse Demos Who Oppose Their Membership
I am a member of a big family and I have told them to quit these two groups and to tell their friends and associates to do the same. The list below are endorsements made for Ohio candidates by the VFW-PAC and the NRA. While some are good and proper endorsements others are absolutely outrageous.

The NRA couldn't endorse opponents of Reps Fudge, Kaptur and Kucinich? What's worse than a ref who needs glasses? A blind shooter.

When The Dam Breaks Will Biden Strangle Himself?
The next week or so will tell the political tale. At this point it appears that close races will start breaking for Republicans, but I am sure Rahm Emanuel left a "to do" list for Obama and the gang which no doubt includes many October surprises whether they are true or not.
West Virginia looks good for Raese, but one needs to remember that only winning by 4 or less points means he loses. If he can get above a 4 - 5 point margin he may win because at that point its hard to steal that many votes. Even for Democrats. Even in West Virginia.
Here in Ohio Strickland is pulling out the stops, but will lose. I hope the Kasich campaign sends a nice thank you note to Haley and the people at RGA. The Demos dropped slime in the state with sexual allegations against Ganley, but then who didn't know that wouldn't happen somewhere.The strange sexual peccadilloes of Democrats here in the state are well enough known to not even be news worthy.
Little Zack Space is trying to get people activated by lying about ideas for a national referendum on free trade, but that's Zack's style. I've sent a copy of the Constitution to Zack. Hopefully, he will have enough time after the election to read it.
Mary Jo Kilroy is in some incredibly deep doo-doo. She looks politically dour as she does in person. Down on the west side of Sin City Chabot is dealing Driehaus an old fashion butt kicking and the tin foil hat mayor of the universe, Kucinich, is reportedly actually having to campaign. Marcy Kaptur won't be defeated until the last barge that visits Toledo once a year offering false hopes stops.
As for Senate, is there still a Democrat candidate?
Husted is looking good. Dave Yost is in a salt and pepper race, but given that Demos are self demo-ing he should be able to pull it off. If one looks at the latest polling one would see a frustrated and depressed electorate. I guess that Hope and Change Progressive movement isn't what they wanted.
Even if Republicans win the House and the Senate (I think they will) the fools still in charge of print and film will declare it actually a loss for Republicans because they should have won so much more. But they will be right if the Republicans recreate the Congress they led the last time they were in charge, because they will have their butts voted out in huge numbers in 2012. If they don't know this then they are too stupid to be in politics. Well, at least too stupid to be in Republican politics. We eat our stupid.
Apparently, Democrats just strangle their dull voters.

The Demos dropped slime in the state with sexual allegations against Ganley, but then who didn't know that wouldn't happen somewhere.The strange sexual peccadilloes of Democrats here in the state are well enough known to not even be news worthy.
Little Zack Space is trying to get people activated by lying about ideas for a national referendum on free trade, but that's Zack's style. I've sent a copy of the Constitution to Zack. Hopefully, he will have enough time after the election to read it.
Mary Jo Kilroy is in some incredibly deep doo-doo. She looks politically dour as she does in person. Down on the west side of Sin City Chabot is dealing Driehaus an old fashion butt kicking and the tin foil hat mayor of the universe, Kucinich, is reportedly actually having to campaign. Marcy Kaptur won't be defeated until the last barge that visits Toledo once a year offering false hopes stops.
As for Senate, is there still a Democrat candidate?
Husted is looking good. Dave Yost is in a salt and pepper race, but given that Demos are self demo-ing he should be able to pull it off. If one looks at the latest polling one would see a frustrated and depressed electorate. I guess that Hope and Change Progressive movement isn't what they wanted.
Even if Republicans win the House and the Senate (I think they will) the fools still in charge of print and film will declare it actually a loss for Republicans because they should have won so much more. But they will be right if the Republicans recreate the Congress they led the last time they were in charge, because they will have their butts voted out in huge numbers in 2012. If they don't know this then they are too stupid to be in politics. Well, at least too stupid to be in Republican politics. We eat our stupid.
Apparently, Democrats just strangle their dull voters.

McCain Picked Palin, How About We All Call Her A Right Wing Know Nothing Hick? Sound Fair?
Being a professional reporter is really hard, especially when on one has told you what to write. Jeez, it's not like they're just bloggers who actually write what they think on their own. Only a rookie with no skin in the game would do something stupid like that.
When McCain picked Palin, liberal journalists coordinated the best line of attack
Chris Hayes of the Nation wrote in with words of encouragement, and to ask for more talking points. “Keep the ideas coming! Have to go on TV to talk about this in a few min and need all the help I can get,” Hayes wrote.
Suzanne Nossel, chief of operations for Human Rights Watch, added a novel take: “I think it is and can be spun as a profoundly sexist pick. Women should feel umbrage at the idea that their votes can be attracted just by putting a woman, any woman, on the ticket no matter her qualifications or views.”
Mother Jones’s Stein loved the idea. “That’s excellent! If enough people – people on this list? – write that the pick is sexist, you’ll have the networks debating it for days. And that negates the SINGLE thing Palin brings to the ticket,” he wrote.
Another writer from Mother Jones, Nick Baumann, had this idea: “Say it with me: ‘Classic GOP Tokenism’.”
...
Journolist’s founder Ezra Klein, now a blogger at the Washington Post, reached an entirely different conclusion: “I see no reason to attack Palin. I think you accurately describe Palin and attack McCain.” Klein linked to an article he had written for the American Prospect that calmly described Palin’s thin resume.
Time’s Joe Klein then linked to his own piece, parts of which he acknowledged came from strategy sessions on Journolist. “Here’s my attempt to incorporate the accumulated wisdom of this august list-serve community,” he wrote. And indeed Klein’s article contained arguments developed by his fellow Journolisters. Klein praised Palin personally, calling her “fresh” and “delightful,” but questioned her “militant” ideology. He noted Palin had endorsed parts of Obama’s energy proposal.
That was all on the day of the announcement.
Journolist was made up of a bunch of desperate whining wanna-be sumptin important nobodies. The journalists that wrote about and were supposed to accurately report on the election of the most powerful person in the world thought the electorate a bunch of "f*cking NASCAR retards" that they could conspire to lie to so as to fix the election.
Now, who are the retards?

'The whole south shifts to the Republican Party over one issue, they don’t like black people…'
M.J. Rosenberg, a progressive, was speaking about why Americans support Israel. His contention is that America supports Israel because Americans hate Muslims. For context and to point out how stupid and hateful Americans (ie, conservatives) are, Rosenberg dropped this little gem concerning the electorate during the 1980's:
"The whole south shifts to the Republican Party over one issue, they don’t like black people…so you have the racism thing,.."
That is a lie. An outright lie. A known lie. A stupid lie.
How do I know? I worked the southern region when it went for Reagan, Republicans and conservatives at the federal level. As a researcher for the NRCC I had studied the issues, plus the whole votes and quotes thing and worked with candidates throughout the south in 1984 and it was not racism that shifted the south to the Republican Party.
The South had remained a solid Democrat stronghold following not just the War of Northern Aggression and their defeat, but especially following the humiliation of "Reconstruction" which purposely heaped scorn and shame on southerners at all levels. Their pride besmirched, the South reacted with a hatred of Republicans, Northerners and those they felt destroyed their lives. As Michelle Obama, they felt no pride in the country they were forced to be part of.
Enter Ronald Reagan and his "Let's Make America Great Again" message. In 1980 Reagan not only beat Jimmy Carter, he embarrassed Carter and those that thought like Carter. In what was supposed to be an election "too close to call" Reagan had a landslide. Carter was thought to be a quintessential southerner and his every action and manner had become an embarrassment to a large segment of the nation as well as in the south. This was when the South, as a voting bloc, started moving away from the Democrat Party.
By 1984, many waves of new thoughts were occurring which were personified by Reagan's "Morning in America" theme. President Ronald Reagan had tapped into the deep patriotism of the nation which deeply wanted a renewal of not just the American ideal, but also a renewal of faith in America by Americans. People had begun to believe again that America was an exception. That America was special.
The South still searching for a patriotism they could embrace started feeling the pull of Reagan's unabashed love for the United States of America. Ronal Reagan's America included the whole of the United States, not just a selected few nor did Reagan exclude people or regions of the country. This resonated with southerners who felt they had been ignored or ridiculed for generations and they did something they had not done in the past. They listened carefully to a Republican. What they heard, they liked which then allowed southerners to start listening to other Republicans running as state legislators, governors and federal offices such as Congress. They liked what they heard.
At the same time, the NRCC established a field staff broken out by regions of the country with regional strategies and tactics. The southern region, which I was a part of, was led by Jim Weber and he put in place a theory of campaigning that included southern voters in ways they had not been part of before. Republican candidates left their historically safe enclaves and actually spoke in democrat strongholds and asked for their votes. New campaign techniques traditionally not used in the south were employed and most importantly rank and file southerners were asked to become part of the process in political, financial and emotional terms. In short, they became engaged voters.
Did race play a part? Absolutely, because Democrats pushed back with messages of racism in an attempt to solidify their base which they felt included all southerners, especially confederate (battle) flag waving, truck driving whites. They had no idea that a storm of change was occurring in terms of political thought, economics, national identity and the long awaited resolution of southern historical identity.
The South went Republican. As Reagan before them, southerners began to say, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the party left me." Reagan spoke to the rising southern middle class with his message of fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget and cutting taxes. Many politicos say that white southerners rebelled against the Democrat embracement of the Civil Rights movement, when in fact it was Democrats that filibustered and voted against civil rights legislation which was supported by Republicans. To say that southerners rebelled against LBJ's cynical civil rights programs may be correct, but to say they rebelled against civil rights by supporting the party that passed civil rights is a tad shallow. LBJ's 1964 Civil Rights Act would have been defeated if not for Republicans such as Evertt Dirkson who broke the filibuster to get it passed. While Dirksen stated, “When it comes to the rights of others, I don’t play politics. It is the right thing to do.”, LBJ was privately saying, according to Ron Kessler's book "Inside the Whitehouse", "I'll have them niggers voting Democrat for two hundred years."
The south did not switch to Republican because of racism. It is still a useful lie for Democrats to say so, but it is still a lie.

Brown Hires Union Thugs For Gov Race
Jerry Brown urges unions to 'attack'
Faced with the daunting prospect of being significantly outspent by his Republican opponent, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown spoke to a labor group Tuesday and urged them to go on the offensive.
Sure, organize illegally with outside groups. Way to go.
"We're going to attack whenever we can, but I'd rather have you attack," Brown said at a gathering of the California delegation of the Laborers' International Union of North America in Sacramento. "I'd rather be the nice guy in this race. We'll leave [the attacks] to ... the Democratic Party and others."
Ah, good cop, bad cop, but it doesn't work very well when your victims know that it is occurring. Besides, unions are nonpartisan, just ask them and they'lllie tell the truth.
Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for GOP candidate Meg Whitman, said Brown's pitch was unseemly and perhaps even illegal.
"Unseemly"? Not a normal campaign punch word, but whatever. Of course it's illegal.
"I think this is pretty clear evidence that Jerry Brown is actively seeking independent support to prop up his campaign from the unions attacking Meg Whitman," Bounds said. "And more importantly, I think, it's Jerry Brown in his own words laying out a very cynical campaign strategy that's playing fast and loose with the campaign rules in California."
Ol' Jerry Brown playing fast and loose with the rules? Say it ain't so.
Brown spokesman Sterling Clifford noted Brown singled out the Democratic Party in his speech and "pretty clearly was not talking about" giving money to other groups. Brown has been aggressively urging unions and other groups to donate money to help offset the millions of dollars that Whitman and rival GOP candidate Steve Poizner have committed to spend on the campaign.
No contributions from the labor group have appeared in the coffers of any independent committees attacking Whitman, according to the official campaign finance database at the California secretary of state's office. But state campaign laws do not require disclosure of such contributions until later this month.
Even after a month the unions will report as little as possible in direct contributions and will go all ACORN with paper groups, subsidiaries and shell groups to hide donations and expenditures..
California election law states contributions to independent expenditure committees may not be "made in concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, the candidate on whose behalf, or for whose benefit, the expenditure is made, or any controlled committee or any agent of the candidate."
Oh, that will just scare Jerry and the unions right to death.
Unions, Obama groups, Demo 527s, environmental groups, liberal/progressive groups, groups funded by foreigners and all the other wackjob groups wil attack the Republican candidate. Then attack more. Then smear. Then lie. And probably go postal.

Ah, Clifford, even unions have limits on what they can donate directly, but what they spend on their own for liberals and Democrats is well documented. Embarrassingly so.
"Meg Whitman's claims are completely false and without any basis in fact," Clifford said. "Not content to buy the airwaves and bully her primary opponent, Whitman and her attack-dog consultants are trying to shut out the voices of working Californians."
Nice dodge Clifford. Yeah, it's normal for you to call your opponent a liar without saying it, then accuse them of something mean and untrue. Plus, how is Whitman bullying her opponent and why do you care except to get your mug in the news, and how is she or her consultants trying to shut out the voices of working Californians? Where was that asked? Are you suggesting that only Brown voters work?
Many of the Laborers' International local unions have donated directly to Brown's campaign. In his speech, Brown thanked them for being "very generous, but we've got to keep it coming."
