The Democrates are attaching unrelated spending bills to legistlation to gain enough votes to pass their bills.
"Vote for this and we'll get your district,XXX million for that new -------------, you want. Vote against it and you won't see a penny!"
Where's the promised honesty,fairness,and ethics ?

This is typical Democrat/Pelosi dirty politics. They are attempting to force Republicans to vote for a troop funding bill with $2.5 in PORK attached to it, most of which are entitlement items that Republicans have been trying to get for their constituants but which have been blocked by Dems. So the Dems are willing to become prostitutes to get theit Iraq pullout timetable? The Jihadists must be very proud of them.

The Democrats are? How shocking! Do you think this is the first time pork barrel politics has occurred?
Now, *that* would be shocking.

First off...pork is hardly a Democrat invention...dont be silly....
Secondly, it is totally honest to do that....If we are stupid enough to vote for someone that does that, then we are to blame...not them. They are doing it because it will get them votes.....that is to say...they are doing it because they believe that the people will approve of their actions and put them back into office......Isnt that exactly what a REPRESENTATIVE should be doing? They should be doing things that make the voters happy.......
This is not the politician's fault.....it is ours....Dont vote for them..........

No, it's not right and they won't give a line item veto.
It is just another way for politicians on both sides to waist our money.
