The republicans had 12 years to eliminate earmarks and did nothing. Where is the outrage?

		<description>[...] Don&#8217;t get so giddy, Dems.  Your side&#8217;s hands aren&#8217;t exactly clean these days, either: From Jack Murtha’s lips to God’s ear. Take your pick: Tom Coburn’s snazzy multicolored chart or N.Z. Bear’s bullet points of death. Despite the unusually bipartisan blogospheric coverage of the secret hold last year, despite the numerous unflattering stories since about Democrats not doing enough to trim pork, despite Murtha’s embarrassing threat against Mike Rogers and the subsequent “lost earmark,” despite all the windage about their allegedly exacting ethical standards, despite a public approval rating that’s in the toilet and circling the drain, they felt comfortable enough to take one of their few genuine legislative accomplishments and tear it to pieces. Why? Because this isn’t a “sexy” issue and they know the public won’t pay attention to it, blog and (cursory) media coverage notwithstanding. Same as with the bankruptcy bill last year.

		<description>If Murtha were a Republican you would see reference to his entanglement in the Abscam investigation in each and every story printed about him. But as he is a Dhimmocrat such references are not allowed by the MSM. Bunch of frigging hypocrites.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I would love for someone to get elected for the express purpose of calling a press conference every time one of these unethical tactics was applied to them.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

The problem here is that no one in the MSM would come to this person&#039;s press conferences.  They&#039;d label him a whiner and that would be the end of it.  Most likely, this person would eventually get wronged by a Republican, too, and &lt;em&gt;that&#039;s &lt;/em&gt;the ony time anyone would pay attention.

&quot;It&#039;s time to put on your long pants and grow up&quot; indeed.  I don&#039;t get worked up about hypocricy the way others do, but I can still appreciate how breath-taking it often is.</description>

		<description>Just a small sample of what we will get in 2008 if the Left is successful, as it appears they will be at this point. 

Those opposed to the Left must realize that Laissez-Faire economics that benefit the few is the main reason that Republican support is not in the majority.  We sacrifice so much of our national interest because of the Left, and the Ferengi who detract support from those who oppose them.</description>

		<description>I would love for someone to get elected for the express purpose of calling a press conference every time one of these unethical tactics was applied to them. They wouldn&#039;t have to care about pork or earmarks or actually accomplishing anything so they wouldn&#039;t have to &#039;go along to get along.&#039; Of course, that person would know from the start that they&#039;d never be reelected, but perhaps they could take a good number of these jackasses with them.</description>

		<description>The Dems will never hold their own to the same ethical standards they hold Republicans or Iraquis to.  Must be that &quot;soft bigotry of low expectations&quot; thing.  

I wonder if they&#039;ve thought about making criticizing the morally challenged a hate crime.  That could do more for them than the fairness doctrine.</description>

I honestly fear for my country.  Perhaps I&#039;ll adopt Warren Zevon&#039;s famous line as my motto...

send lawyers, guns, and money...lots of guns.</description>
