He’s a Repuke though, so he’s allowed to be completely hypocritical. This is totally normal. Nothing to see here folks.

C’mon people! Isn’t it easy to see these RePUKEliCUNT-loving shitheads intend to bring down the USA and destroy any concern for or commitment to alleviating common human suffering? I think they’re way more dangerous and traitorous than the Taliban, for they’re devoid of ethics, character, integrity, and even a modicum of human decency. Wasn’t Ensign the latest senator known to pay hush money to cover some kind of immoral deviant sexual proclivity? And now he, little dim-witted DeMent, & GrassASSley are all teamed up with Caintuck’s Senator McCuckold to further visit destruction and despair everywhere they can. I say ‘a plague on all of them’!! Worthless, low-life bastards!

Let me say this again.

When you vote for a Republican, you vote for hypocrisy. You vote for anti-science. You vote for ‘do as I say and not as I do’. You vote for outsourcing. You vote for tax cuts for THEM but nothing for you. You vote for continued corporate welfare. You vote for unaccountability. You vote for mythology over reality. You vote for LIES.

Everyone is a fiscal conservative when it involves money that doesn’t pertain to them.

Damn! When will people stop falling for GOP lies? Really? When? What will it take for people to wise up? I really don’t know at this point.

POLITICIANS: CRIMINALS AND HYPOCRITES ALL!!! (Well, almost all.)

The Rs still want earmarks – they just want their OWN earmarks, not the Ds earmarks.

I still don’t understand the controversy. Isn’t the job of a Congressman to stimulate the economy in his or her own district and bring long-term, good-paying jobs? Isn’t that really what an earmark does – bring in jobs to Congressional districts? What am I missing?

The money is going to to someone – in Ohio, the money we were going to get to help fund rail traffic between Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati (3-C) plus Dayton is going to be lost because the new governor, Kasich, is going to refuse the money. New York State has already asked for those funds instead. Kasich wanted the funds to be used to reduce the deficit. Of course that isn’t going to happen, and never was. That’s not the way the money was intended to be used for – it’s to used to stimulate the economy. Ohio loses again.

LOL! And to think! This guy will probably cruise to re-election, It doesn’t matter if he is a hypocrite, a dirt-bag who slept with a friends wife, THEN got his parents to buy her and her family off. I don’t know who to blame. The politicians or the idoits who voted for them….

The Senator obviously is one of those that Congressman Eric Cantor told Bibi Netanyahu Israel can count on to stop Obama and the Democs. in Socialisin america.

Ensign likes his ‘earmarks’ and women on the quiet. Hypocritical demagoguery thy name is GOP. But so would be the Democraps. The “two party” political system in Amerika IS the problem. Golly and U.S. senators gots all that freaking money too. You know, Amerikan taxpayer money? You know, that “you” shell over and gits SO VERY LITTLE back in return? Hmmm, Goldman Sacks sure got a mountain ‘o’ that taxpayer money. Did you know that Turbo Timmy Geithner worked for Goldman Sacks? Oh yes he did. Oh sorry, I digress.
Ensign is just another senatorial cancer that’s eating away Amerika’s civil health. Oh wait, Amerika was ‘healthy’ once. Wasn’t it?

The path you describe is the republican path to re-election.

[...] The special dispensation for the University of Nevada was created via an earmark, a legislative maneuver that directs funds to be spent on a specific project. READ RAW STORY [...]

It’s the idiots who vote for them and against their own interests because they’re so easily swayed by fear campaigns and who believe the words of the very same people they claim not to trust.

I agree, but you imply that a vote for a democrat would be any different. Didn’t Obama vote for the corporate welfare bailouts? Didn’t Obama attend a church that believed in a magic person who lived thousands of years ago and could walk on water and heal the sick with his magic touch?

Both parties represent lies, unaccountability, mythology, and anti-science.

To pretend that they are somehow fundamentally different is insane.

[...] Revealed: GOP senator who railed against healthcare and earmarks got $960,000 healthcare earmark [...]

The Teabaggers who are going to Washington to change it, will be disappointed by the reception.

They should just have a straight yes or no vote on all earmarks. The Senators have enough staff to research all this, and just do it electronically without all the debating. And if there isn’t enough time to vote on them, then too bad.

Your arguments are weak and lack merit. You make one more pathetic attempt to equate the Dems with the Repubs, when there is no equivalency.

I like your comment…but “liked” the posting because of the Avatar.
Spot on.

probably about the time they also stop falling for the Democrats lies.

Most of those who voted against medical insurance reform were well paid. If the congressmen being paid had shown any honor, they would have recused themselves from voting on a matter which they were being paid for their vote on. This would have meant that Dennis Kucinich would have been the only vote left, and single payer would have been law, with no mercy for insurance companies.

As creatures of Dick Army and the Koch brothers, they will fit right in.

shock! gasp! wow its almost like the past ten years happened and i, some how retain memory of it. craziness, i guess i should just go back to taking every thing they say on trust

I forget where I got that pic, maybe from bartcop.com. I want “Dick Cheney” and “War Pig” to become synonymous everywhere. He deserves no less.

=== popurls.com === popular today…

yeah! this story has entered the popular today section on popurls.com…

“So not only did the anti-healthcare senator get a special healthcare program funded in his state, he also got it through an earmark, a process he himself claims to oppose.”

So if he is anti-healthcare if he voted against Obamcare? That doesn’t name sense. Also the Republicans did offer some other solutions, like allowing people to buy health insurance across state lines.

Also as far as ear marks goes, If the state is being taxed, they should get their money back, and ear marks are one way to do that. Otherwise, they will have paid all those federal taxes and not gotten anything for it.

And yet these hypocrites will be the loudest voices in government assailing the very things they are taking advantage of. Reminds me of homophobes who are themselves closeted gays. Roy Cohn, J. Edgar Hoover, and God knows how many Republicans in Congress.

On the other hand, people need health care. As much as I find these Republican hypocrites revolting, they are, by seeking and accepting such funding, doing right by their constituents who are affected. Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is actually secondary. Still, I want them exposed. Maybe the baggers will turn on them and eat their own.

The fever will break at some point. We survived a Civil War, Nixon, Vietnam, Reagan, Newt’s, Contract on America and now (gulp) this retrenchment to the right. In the end we will not only survive, but we will prevail.

Proving himself to be 100% slime, if any doubt remained…

There’s a teapartier somewhere in NV yelling about taking government back…

You can’t reform Senators or Congressmen!!!! The SYSTEM needs major reform and transparency. Now.

There’s probably also a Sharon Angle supporter in NV screaming about 2nd Amendment remedies!

Public Financing of Federal Campaigns would go a loooooong way to sovling our fiscal problems!

Yeah those F’n Obamcare Democrat’s have to go!

I bet if Faux News covers this story the chiron scroll will lable Ensign as a Democrat!

“…when there is no equivalency.” I don’t know, bear, that seems like a fairly pathetic statement, too.

Bears really have poor eyesight, so maybe you can’t see the similarities. But bears have superior sniffers, so I’m surprised you can’t smell the same bullshit coming from both parties. They feed from the same troughs, you know, and smell like it.

NAI while the Dem’s are no saints they are chumps when it comes to stealing for their own benefit or running crooked enterprises. Compare Rep Jefferson’s $90K to Rep Cunningham’s $3.4 Million. Compare Charlie Rangel’s $70K in unpaid taxes to Jack Abramoff’s $40 Million in bribes and fees.

And funny I don’t remember Mercy corps getting their tit in a wringer but I do have a distinct memory of Backwater, Halliburton and United healthcare having to payback 100′s of millions of dollars so there is not equivalency when you look at corporate America’s crimes against its citizen compared to the progressive institutions like ACORN’s missteps.

Bears likely also don’t comprehend when a former Bush CIA and NSA director makes a statement like this: “[B]y and large, there’s been a powerful continuity between the 43rd and the 44th president…”

He only ruined his own marriage and someone else’s so that the gays couldn’t.

/s

Rand Paul changed his position on earmarks before he even left Kentucky. How serious is he about changing things? Having campaigned on exactly this issue, I find it really hypocritical that he’s jumped ship so soon. How many of the teabaggers will actually stand up to any scrutiny in their new jobs?

So Tea Turds, how is that ‘we’re taking our country back’ and pressuring GOP Senators to ban earmarks thingy working out for you so far? This is what you get when you resign yourself to being told what to do by Glenn Beck, useful idiots you’ll get what you deserve…nothing.

Great job voters!!! Fucked yourselves yet again. And guess what, you’ll fuck yourselves again in 2012 and 2016, which is going to be the LAST election in the United States. And you’ll fuck yourselves one last time before it’s game, set, match, check, and mate. No more voting, no more choice and NO more fun sites like this to post on. If you wanna throw a little more blame around, I’m sure you have a bathroom mirror… Go have a look.

[...] Read the original: Revealed: GOP senator who railed against healthcare and earmarks got $960,000 healthcare earmark [...]

Is anyone surprised? Well I’m sure any republican voter would disagree, but then they really don’t want to know the truth. It wouldn’t take much if they would turn fox off and investigate on the Internet. Not drudge the real Internet. They won’t though because isn’t it just so much easier to let other people do your thinking for you and believe the lies. Stupid people don’t elect quality candidates and the whole republican party is proof of that.

Can’t tell the truth. Don’t practice what they preach. I don’t know a single person who would hire or do business with such an individual, so why the hell do these scum bags keep getting elected? Oh right. Because they LIE through their teeth and commit crimes to gain positions of power, and there are throngs of idiots addicted to the right’s propaganda machine willing to vote against their own interests. The whole lot of them make me want to puke.

The problem with this post is that what is described is not an earmark. Its a letter of support for a grant request. Grant funding is passed as part of a regular bill and than different requests for the funding are granted by an Executive branch agency until the funding runs out. This is very different from an earmark, which is a rider inserted specifically into an Appropriations bill that has already gone through the Committee process so the rider can not be scrutinized. Earmarks are direct funding without oversight. Grant funding is also already tallied on the budget while earmarks represent new costs. Most Members of Congress consider letters of support for grant requests such as this one to be a duty of the office. In short, it is part of your job as a Member to write these letters of support for grant requests coming from your district regardless of how you feel about the specific program. For the record I am not a fan of Sen. Ensign for other reasons, but this particular piece is very distorted.

This article suggests that the Christian conservative who had an affair with a married staffer and who had his parents pay off the wife and her husband might be a hypocrite. Just another smear job by the lame stream media.

Look, these people are pure and simply scumbags. Ensign here in Nevada is so corrupt he’s not even talked about anymore. It’s like Ensign who?

He’s a joke, the GOP is a joke. Corrupt hypocritical bastards. Every last one of them.

Dems are incompetent and spineless. Honestly I don’t know which is worse.

A lying and corrupt member of our Congress?? Shocking indeed.

All Obama’s corporate decisions can not be by accident.
Our only hope through 2012 is for Nancy Pelosi to do what she claims she will.
Obama has become worst than a Blue Dog Democrat.
At lease they do not claim to be for you before they vote against you.

What’s so hard to understand? He against all earmarks except for those that go to his constituents.

Hard to believe but they still love him in Nevada-Go figure?

The other rethugs who railed against health care reform and shamelessly refer to it as Obamacare should also be exposed. They and their wives who received thousands of dollars (and the media knows whom they are, and we do too) must be named. Guess that they call it being fiscally responsible. Way to “cut spending and reduce the deficit,” and to prevent their grandchildren from being bogged down with debt they did not create, as they love to say. rethugs are a dishonest and deceptive lot. Talk about liars. Calling McConnell and the tan man!!

I estimate about 0.

Double dipping; double talk, forked tongue, immoral, insincere, corrupt, lack of integrity, adapt at prestidigitation. Guess that about sums it up.

Can you please give me a few examples of where democrats and republicans are fundamentally different?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that the United States is still fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay is still open, enemy combatants have not yet stood public trial, billions are being spent on corporate welfare, don’t ask don’t tell still exists, the drug war is still raging on, Haliburton was given another no bid contract under Obama, immigration is still illegal……..and on and on and on.

So where is the fundamental difference???? I cannot tell one party from the other.

Again please name a few fundamental differences.

If you vote against something you shouldn’t be allowed to take advantage of it. In fact, if you make hundreds of thousands as a politician you should have to pay for all your own things anyway.

A congressman is hypocritical. This is supposed to be newsworthy? All 535 of them are hypocrites. Who but a hypocrite would spend millions to be elected to a position that pays less than 200,000?

Your story has been linked to at the DailyTeaParty.com

Thank you! http://dailyteaparty.com/?p=2411

why has this man not in jail….

why is this man not being investgated

I wonder if that magnificent maggot…Angle has this bum in her sights; If the NV Dems know what is going on, it is time to recruit the best and the brightest to go for this seat; how about Oscar Goodman of Las Vegas?

Of course the media is aware of this but you won’t be reading or hearing this info from from the so-called mains stream media.

It is up to the rest of us to keep these types of stories going in the blogosphere. I keep info like this and video clips of republican bs in a special file that I refer to and post from just about every day on multiple sites. I have even posted on web sites like cbs, nbc, abc, the Washington Post, etc., but, invariably they are removed within 15 -2o minutes, the time it takes their censors to discover something they don’t want the public to know.

It is the only way.

So, writing a letter of support to get money for your state from funds that you voted AGAINST is not hypocritical?

The level of hypocracy knows no bounds.

I hopy someone explains to that Angle supporter that all of the 2nd admendments kabobs who are planning to pull out their guns to to take their country back, to be prepared for the returning bullets.

Are these people so stupid that they don’t know that they are not the only ones with guns?

Don’t forget all of the homophobes evangellicals.

wyrdless, as you well know, the republicans offered several solutions and admendments which were icleded but they were not planning on voting for the bill anyway.
which they did not.

Epic fail.

Try again.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, try again.

Love your avitar.

wyrdless, one of the “solutions” proposed by Republicans was to allow people to buy insurance over state lines. Unfortunately, that will be more of a problem than a solution. Some states have very strong consumer protections and strong Insurance Commissioners. Others do not. In California insurance companies have to answer for transgressions and can be heavily fined. In other states, there is very lax oversight and the companies can almost do as they wish. Insurance companies will set up headquarters in those lax states and will be beyond the range of insurance commissions’ ability to get the companies to comply.

[...] post was brought to you by earmark accepting anti-earmark Republicans, and those Teapartying members of Congress who, although having campaigned against Obamacare, now [...]

I’m sorry but may I point out that a letter in support of a grant application is different from a congressional earmark. let’s keep the facts straight here or present evidence that supports the claim, not undermines it.

No Sam, that’s not what anyone is saying here. The title of the article is GOP Senator who railed against healthcare earmarks 960,000. The facts presented in this article do not support the claim. A letter in support of a grant is not the same as an earmark. I may be liberal, but I have a healthy distrust for those who bend the facts to support their own argument. If the article wanted to call him hypocritical, or a flip flopper then that would be fine, but the evidence contradicts the article.

Sadly this is another sign of the decline of journalism and professional news reporting

Truth be told, insurance companies have always been allowed to sell across state lines, they have never been prohibited from such commerce, ever. All they have to do is conform to the regulations of the state in which they want to do business, exactly like hairdressers, short haul truckers, locksmiths, etc.

What the republicans were offering up was either the opportunity for insurance conglomerates to cluster in the worst regulated of states (see Delaware corporation) or to gather under a federal umbrella.

Imagine, a claim for young Johnny’s emergency appendectomy is denied, because Johnny’s mom didn’t get prior approval. To fight the insurance company, she has to hire a Texas or Mississippi attorney from her residence in Cleveland or wherever.

I’m sure some of the measures were included, but the bill as a whole was
flawed. Obamacare has raised health insurance costs for many people
including the AARP.

The AARP shilled for Obamacare when they passed the bill saying it would
lower costs for insurance.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101104/ap_on_bi_ge/us_aarp_health_plan

One of the big problems with health insurance is that it is to expensive.
Young people are asked to pay 5-7000 a year for insurance but as a group
they only consume 2000 a year in health costs. That’s why over 10 million
young Americans choose to forgo health insurance even though they can afford
it, because it is a rip off.

Also Obama included a big fat exemption for McaDonald’s
http://www.csnews.com/top-story-nacs_clarifies_what_mcdonald_s_health_care_exemption_means_-57377.html

Why?
Because it would look bad in the press if it was found out that Obamacare
made some people’s health coverage ‘not Insurance’ in the eyes of the IRS.
Obamacare requires people to buy “insurance” or pay a tax. The government
gets to decide what insurance means. I don’t like the notion of the federal
government doing all that. The government will raise the cost of health care
insurance, which, last time I checked, was the thing we were trying to do in
the first place.

“epic fail”
Hardly

If people want to buy lower levels of coverage across state lines becasue
that is all they can afford, who are you to stop them?

California shut down a doctor who tried to offer primary care for $50 a
month in a private clinic. He had a large formulary of drugs offered at a
low co pay, but the state said he would confuse people since what he was
offering was not insurance. He couldn’t cover emergency care. So I don’t
really look at California as the model for what I want in my healthcare.

Obama is forcing me to get mental health coverage or else pay a tax. This
will raise my insurance rates. I don’t need mental health coverage and I
don’t want to pay more money for something that is already overpriced. I
don’t want more government intervention, I would prefer less.

Obamacare has caused insurance rates to go up even for his supporters.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101104/ap_on_bi_ge/us_aarp_health_plan

Also Obama exempted McDonald’s poor quality health are from the law, giving
them an unfair business advantage versus small business, or in other words a
subsidy equal to the fine they would have had to pay.

Why is Obamacare subsidizing McDonald’s?
Why should “5 guys burgers” pay a tax which McDonald’s doesn’t have to?

hello it is my first post on this website and to start with I would like to thank for the great quality information, which I were able to find in this and all previous posts , it really helped me a lot. I will definitely add this blog on my google reader ;) Also, I would like to ask – don’t you mind if I will quate some information from your website since I am writing articles for the Associated Content, Ezine and other articles directories (this is my part time job)? It would really help me with some of mine articles. Of course, I will mention your blog name or URL (not all articles directories allows URL’s , so I can’t 100% promise that you will get a direct link to your blog).

Ciao, as you can say by my nick, I’m Italian. I found your blog via Bing, I’m searching for sites on this argument because I want to write a similar post on my site. Is it ok if I translate in Italian part of your post, giving in exchange a backlink? Let me know!
