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.
