Even though there were 11 Democrats who courageously voted against the original Pork Bill, they succumbed to pressure from Dingy Harry and the other double-digit IQ members of the Senate.
Let it noted that all Democrats, as well as two Independents (Sanders, VT, and Lieberman, CT) and three GOP liberals (Collins and Snow, ME, and Spector, PA) voted for the bill. The ginned up woman killer Ted Kennedy was absent and the second Senator from Minnesota (who will be so-called comedian Al Franken) has not been appointed but we can assume these two would walk in lockstep with the rest of their ilk.
It is a sad day for America when one party can control 100% of both the Executive and Legislative Branches of the government. This is how tyrants are born, and how empires are destroyed. This is what happens when an ignorant electorate is consumed with idolatry, believing that government can solve their woes, and that a man who talks like he knows everything, but in reality is simply and uniformed puppet of his party, will lead them out of the proverbial Egypt.
I hate to be so negative, but dire times await us. There is not stopping it now. In effect, we are under a totalitarian government now, and maybe forever.
