New Politics? For Real? Then End Earmarks?

For all their talk about bringing a new "way" to Washington, neither Obama nor McCain seem to doing too much that's new or different. So, I've been thinking, what would really BE different. How about agreeing to work between now and election day to pass bills putting an end to earmarks. If there is anything that tempts corruption in both parties, and snookers the public, it's earmarks. They just need to go. Period. Nothing ought to go into the a bill other than what the bill is about. Period. Shoot, the politicians don't even know what their voting for half the time.
