Remember that promise of change in 2006?  You know, the one where the Democrats promised to get rid of the cronyism and corruption in DC?  Well, they had a chance to walk the walk yesterday.  There was a bill in the form of an amendment to eliminate earmarks completely.  Here’s a list of the “changelings” and how they voted for significant change:

  • Jim Webb - Voted against it
  • Ben Cardin - Voted against it
  • Sheldon Whitehouse - Voted against it
  • Jon Tester - Voted against it
  • Ben Casey - Voted against it
  • Amy Klobuchar - Voted against it
  • Sherrod Brown - Voted against it
  • Kent Conrad - Voted agaisnt it
  • Jeff Bingamen - Voted against it
  • Bill Nelson - Voted against it
  • Maria Cantwell - Voted against it
  • Debbie Stabenow - Voted against it

That’s the “change” you all elected.

How many times will people be suckered by that tired promise?

For what it’s worth, I was opposed to this amendment.  However, I never promised anyone change without meaning it.
