Do you think all of those earmarks are from democrats???
Do you also know about the earmarks that were in Bush's bailouts?
It's funny that none of you are denouncing Bush's bank bailouts that

Yes, all of the earmarks are from dems. ,The Republicans were totally
cut out of this bill. I am not talking about the bipartisan repub/dem
bill signed during the Bush administration and supported equally by
both sides. I am talking about this bill which nobody has debunked my
claim that is 5% stimulus and 95% payback...
