The word “earmark” was Democrat superdelegate Ybarra’s choice. From his remarks quoted in the article it appears he believes this to be a not uncommon practice. If you believe he misspoke, by all means take it up with him and let us know how he responds.

Yep, Taking earmarks from Dems like Reid and Pelosi would be like pulling teeth.

IAMbs. Good research. Now all is needed is someone with the courage to call a spade a spade! These people pass many laws, but do not want them enforced.
Just think about “gun control” laws.

Wait a minute—according to the story, DNC has said no, Hil and Barak haven’t said yes; where’s the story here?

Why should the Dems buy something that they can steal. their usual method?

“yeah, absolutely. People do it all the time,” answered Ybarra.
ummm. WHAT?!?!?
This is outrageous! Bat One is right, what does this democrat think of democracy if he is selling HIS vote! Despicable, soulless…
What a sell-out. A complete lack of respect for this country. Money is not everything, and neither is infamy.

Ybarra wants every cent of the $20 million to go towards registering and educating eligible Mexican-American voters, who he calls the key to the White House.
Except of course the half million or so dollars he’ll recieve for organizing such a drive.

Of course they would be ‘educated’ to vote for the Democrat candidate.
docdave - 09:05pm on 05/09/2008
No doubt, Doc.
And likely in the most obvious place. Ybarra’s ties to the Sacramento ruling elite could insure this indoctrination take place in public schools by equipping ESL classes with a ‘updated’ syllabus.
