Tea Party Pork
Anti-earmark Tea Party Caucus takes $1 billion in earmarks
Wait, this surprises you?? How many times to I have to tell you that you are being lied to???
Just like Newt Gingrich going after Clinton for a blow job while he was cheating on his wife, just like Mark Foley being Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, while sending sexually charged messages to male, teenage congressional pages, just like Larry Craig voting to remove "sexual orientation" from federal hate crimes laws, while trying to blow a dude in the Men's bathroom of an airport, just like Ted Haggard lobbying against gay rights and teaching that homosexuality was an abomination, REPUBLICANS ARE HYPOCRITES!
We all know Michelle Bachmann is herself a welfare queen pocketing a quarter million dollars in farm subsidies and that Sarah Palin, the one who preaches on the evils of taxes and big government spending being from the state which has no state income tax and therefore is the largest recipient of federal subsidies in the Union where 1/3 of all jobs are created by the federal government but this is too much, too soon. The Tea Party is what, 2 years old?? And already they turn out to be bullshit?? Not that I didn't already know they were full of shit and that their main, founding principles were completely wrong (no, the Revolution wasn't fought over taxes, it was fought over taxation without representation) but it's nice that someone else is finally acknowledging it.
