Sick. For christ's sake, now Pelosi can be driven to her private airport in her stretch Hummer... then onto her private jet to meet Maureen Dowd, so the both of those hypocrites can blaze through Obama's 57 states and lecture the rest of on energy conservation. OMFG the Democrats are idiots. Meanwhile, while Pelosi is getting her face lifted for the 9th time and Obama is having a steak dinner, Barry's aunt is crawling out of a dumpster in Boston and trying to scrape up a wet cigarette butt to eat for supper.

You liberals are a disgrace - how sick. Gross.

Liberals say they're for the "little guy," but at bottom, they are elitists. They side with activist judges over the will of the people, put the demands of tree-hugging eco-wackos ahead of working Americans, and better identify with Ben Affleck than Joe Sixpack.

Sick. How appalling.

While Congress has established new rules requiring greater transparency for earmarks, the Appropriations Committee is “the judge, jury and executioner over what is an earmark and what isn’t and how much information we get.”
