Republicans Play Hardball (finally!)

They're releasing a new ad warning of more terrorist attacks. I wish we could count on Republicans to take this issue as seriously as they should, but legislating just doesn't mesh with watchfulness and taking swift action. Sadly it's a year for voting against a party rather than for one. The Democrats want us to believe that the Patriot Act has made this a totalitarian society, which is childish. The Republicans after going pork happy for the past 6 years, want us to worry about Bush's tax cuts being rescinded.

How about a Constitutional Amendment making it unconstitutional to add earmarked projects to legislation any time the budget is in deficit?
