Pork? That? What Do You Mean? Tea Party Hypocrites at work

[groovedaddy]

The road to Washington is paved with broken campaign promises. But few are so rich in hypocrisy as those of House Republican freshmen caught engineering hometown pork even as they vow to slash the federal budget for the supposed good of the nation.

In March, just months after being sworn in, 22 of them plumped for more military spending in their districts than President Obama requested.

Representative Steven Palazzo, of Mississippi, who campaigned fiercely against earmarks, voted to slash military spending and then voted for an amendment to quietly restore the same money, including $150 million for a warship to be built in his district. Pork? Earmark? No, he insists, saying he merely voted for a package that happened to include that hometown goodie and the Pentagon now must decide how to finance it.

These gyrations have been detailed by The Times’s Ron Nixon, who found nearly two dozen Republican freshmen pushing hometown projects ultimately worth billions.

2. The Tea Party is a Bunch of Traitors, orchestrated by The Koch Brothers

Remember that Meeting ~6 weeks ago with the Koch brothers that ALL of the Tea party Reps, Senators, & Governors had a while back. What do you think the "Strategy" discussed there was? The Dots are too well Visible & connected to come up with any other conclusion. The Debt Ceiling Crisis was "Manufactured " By these Mo fo's They put our country in a National security, Financial Crisis, for their Own Ends. This is Sedition, and They Deserve to ARRESTED for it. TAken to ZERO. Just Sayin.....
It goes Like this. The Koch Brothers Fund the DSC(Blue Dog Democrats) and the Tea Party Express. They get enough "Useful Idiots" Elected to do Their bidding, then: Voila! A Right wing Coup... Think About it, for just a while, Analyze & PROVE ME WRONG! Please! It's Fairly Obvious in my Humble opinion
