The problem is…I’ve seen just as many Repubs (Senators…haven’t seen the House list yet) with earmarks as Dems.. Sort of hard to be ‘bad guys’ when doing the same thing. The hypocrisy of the Republican Party continues…. when are they actually going to become fiscally responible?

Yeah, I looked at the list of requested earmarks. Top of the list for the most money – Robt. Byrd (no big surprise). Here’s the disturbing thing, though, out of the 10 largest earmark recipients, 6 are Republicans! It makes me crazy! The Republican party must first reject earmarks completely before lecturing about fiscal responsibility.
