I just stopped liking Cantor. No ear marks, no campaign contributions from special interests. That's a good thing. Republican backsliders should be eliminated this campaign cycle.

Cantor was on one of the Fox shows (Greta I believe) a few days ago. She tried to pin him down on this and he bobbed and weaved on the question. These Republicans need to learn that the public is not going to tolerate business as usual if the R's regain control. We want to see a fundamental shift to conservative values.

Earmarks are a non-issue. Does the congressman direct the spending personally, or do they throw it over the wall to bureaucrats to do the spending. Either way it's spending.

Getting rid of earmarks does nothing to stop the spending. It just takes our attention away from the real problems.
