The House Republican Conference vote on Wednesday to restore earmarks was a betrayal of the voters, and undermined one of the remaining legacies of the Tea Party.

The vote was close, 102-84, but that is no consolation, especially as it was by secret ballot, preventing voters from holding their representatives accountable.

If Republicans do not hold a revote, they can expect conservatives to stay home in 2022. They will have blown their chance to retake the House — and will deserve to lose.

Earmarks are, or were, spending provisions that Senators and Representatives attach to bills that are likely to pass and be signed into law. The Congressional Research Service defines them as a benefit to “a specific entity or state, locality, or congressional district other than through a statutory or administrative formula or competitive award process.” They allow members of Congress to shower “pork” projects on their districts — or to reward favored donors and special interests.

  • As electors, what we really should do is take the time to really study the voting record, of every candidate for office - -before we ever mark that ballot.  Voting records are public information and can be found online; that record will tell you everything you need to know about that candidate.

  • We Conastituants need to hold congressional representatives in check and accountable to us. They must be told to not sign off on any legislation without our consent. That would mandate them to first convince us that it would be in the best interest of this nation and citizens as a whole. Democrats are happy, becaue reviving earmarks gives them the golden opportunity to siphon federal funds to states they dominate politically; in order to fix the mess they caused in Detroit, Maryland, etc. due to gross mismanagement of state and local taxes. Every Republican who signed off on it should not be reelected. Detroit will need a trillion dollars or more.

  • We the People gain NOTHING by voting for republikrats.  They are just as evil as devildemocommiecrats but are sneakier.  While devildemocommiecrats are stabbing us in the chest republikrats are stabbing us in the back.  Might as well vote for devildemocommiecrats or just stay at home because our voices ARE NOT being heard and followed by republikrats.  The gop establishment TRAITORS like mcconnell, mccarthy and their ilk are allied with the new world order globalists!!!!!!!!!!!

    • That what I have decided---to stay home. My vote is meaningless when the vote is not honest, plus, this is just one more republican betrayal. They are not honest and do nothing that is either lawful, moral or righteous. 

    • I would respectfully urge you to not withdraw from the system Jea9 and Bob Russell, instead I would suggest that you work towards choosing/vetting and electing Conservative men/women to replace the rats that have us all doubting our roots, tough job, but together we can do this, Trump has shown us how to fight, love him or dislike his personality "warts", he has shown us the way..

  • This is why we need to make all spending bill a stand alone bill.  We also need line item vetos

     

  • I was a democrat, I left the democratic part because of Clinton. I became a Republican, left the Republican Party because of Bush.  I have been and remain a Independant Conservative.  I've said and still say the Republicans are worse than the Democrats, WHY you ask.  Because the Democrats are a anti American bunch bent on destroying AMERICA and we all know they cannot be trusted.  WE KNOW THAT,  but they tell you what damage they are planning and then do it!  The Republicans will lie to you, then when you are not looking STAB you in the back and will do it consistantly.  I will never vote Democrat, and never vote for a Republican just because there is an R after their name.  I will only vote for a proven "Conservative" Constutionlist no matter what is after their name.

  • I'll never vote for either party now anyway. Trump outed BOTH for the Traitors that they are. The Goebbelist enemy within said it loud and clear. "No America,you CAN'T have your country back". May God hit the whole of D.C. with a fireball!!!  The Global totalitarian Gov. of the U.N. needs to meet it's tyrannical end just as ours does. Why javen't they surrounded the U.N. in Manhatten with troops and razor wire?

    I've now grown the same contempt for them as my government has MADE me grow for them, Funny,huh? I know atn least 80 million of us feel the same but,you know it's more. A LOT more.RESIST THE OVERTHROW!!!

  • Is there any way possible that we could shake a list of these traitorous sum bitches loose from the house and then snow them under with e-mails ???, primary them and then contribute/work against them ?????

  • Democrat policy at its BEST.  What were they THINKING???
