    Did you bother to do any research into this or are you just talking through your hat?

    Read this article and get back with me on your opinion of whether the Democrats will go along with the Republicans in ending ALL earmarks.

    http://www.examiner.com/x-10317-San...end-earmark-spending-for-the-rest-of-the-year

    "In a united front all House Republicans voted to end any earmarks in every piece of legislation for the rest of the year."

    "Democrats had a dissenting view on earmarks. "I don't believe this policy or ceding authority to the executive branch on any spending decision is in the best interests of the Congress or the American people," Senator Dan Inouye (D-Hawaii) said."

    The Republicans would immediately switch and be against the idea.

    I'm sorry but you are not a fortune teller.

    The Republicans are already on board.

    It is a Republican proposal.

    I am asking if you think that the Democrats will go along with ending all earmarks in the House.

    Like foam on top of a glass of beer...looks impressive, but means nothing.

    This is not a Democrat-Republican issue. This is a get rid of all incumbents issue. Once again, for the 1000th time, you attempt to create a false gap between the two major parties when none exists. If we governed by the Constitution, unlike the two parties, there would not only be an end to earmarks, but an end to over half the cabinet posts.
