Check the news C4... well not Fox News! It was McCain that campaigned on 'banning' earmarks compleletely and said he would, except he put one it on the omnibus bill I think. Obama ran on 'reforming' the bill writing process...TM7

Conservatives should quit trying to appeal to "swing voters" and squishy democrats and instead just put forth the conservative line. He says most Americans are conservative at heart anyway, they just don't know it. When Republicans pretend to be liberal to attract a bunch of in the middle voters, the real liberal will win every time ie. John McCain. We need a real conservative like Reagan who believes in conservatism and can explain to the "great unwashed" why conservatism is good and liberalism is bad. Newt would be good at that, so would Sarah Palin. If you go extreme right you'll get about 25-30% of the vote. Every single election is decided by the giant population of swing voters in this country. You may not like it, but that's the fact. You must win them to win an election.
