Democrat Senators Forget all about what they ran for
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.
