The House Republican Conference did end up approving a conference-wide unilateral ban on earmarks.

I think that's pretty much window dressing..but I know a lot of smart people disagree..so hey. And it will definitely look good.

Antle, why didn't you report this is a sham? It's for one year only and just an election year gimmick. Now if they proposed a permanent ban on earmarks, it would have meant something.

Democrats have now proposed a permanent ban and Republicans will have none of it. Why?????

(I think you know.....)

The whole earmarks debate is purely symbolic, as I said in my earlier post.

Pay no attention to 3/5 Bob's comments.

He is known as 3/5 Bob, because until last June, he thought that blacks had 3/5 of a vote, under the original U.S. Constitution.

He also doesn't know the scientific fact of when human biological life begins because he is unsure of when "ensoulment" happens.

He also claimed he translated the Bible from the original Aramaic when he was a teenager.

He is a pseudo-intellectual and an anti-Christian bigot.

Don't waste your time arguing with him.

1/5 Nick....

Doesn't know the Constitution....
Doesn't understand science....
Doesn't know anything about Biblical Aramaic....
Doesn't know enough to make any relevant comments.....

Talk about wasting time?????

Hmmm....

Nick| 3.12.10 @ 9:23AM

3/5 Bob,

Thinks the Constitution gave blacks 3/5 of a vote....
Thinks "ensoulment" is a scientific term....
Thinks there are Bibles in Aramaic around to be translated....
Doesn't know much of anything, except how to manipulate economic data....
Doesn't persuade anyone on this website....

Why would anybody read his tripe?

Bob| 3.12.10 @ 9:27AM

1/5 Nick,

Thinks the Constitution doesn't say anything about counting slaves at 3/5th of a regular person....
Doesn't understand the biological growth of an embryo...
Didn't even know that parts of the Bible were written in Aramaic...
Doesn't know anything about economics...
Doesn't add anything to this website...

Did he even graduate from elementary school???

Nick| 3.12.10 @ 9:55AM

3/5 Bob,

"Thinks the Constitution [...]" - LIE
"Doesn't understand [...]" - LIE
"Didn't even know [...]" - LIE
"Doesn't know anything about economics..." LIE, I know a little. Enough to know it can't predict anything and can be manipulated by even the moronic.

Where do you come up with this garbage? I know you're envious of all the compliments I get on this site. You should repent your covetousness.

I grew up in the suburbs, in the 70's. Not in Compton, or East L.A., or whatever. My elementary school didn't have graduations.

They didn't feel the need to prop us up with phony self-esteem with a ceremony for something we were expected to accomplish as a part of growing up.

Nick| 3.12.10 @ 9:58AM

That should be: You should repent OF your covetousness.
