Pork Spending: Comparing the Candidates

[streicher187]

So your admitting mccain lies when he says "I have never asked for or received pork in my career"?

I don't have a problem with pork when it goes to fix area schools, roads or better the state/country .. When it goes to build library or add on for colleges, study the sex habit of bears, fish etc. then it's waste..

No. If you read the link I posted, the things he has asked for are not earmarks. I included the things he has asked for, but not through earmarks.

While McCain would surely say these projects don't meet the definition of pork barrel spending, watchdogs disagree. "If it doesn't meet the technical term of earmark, it would probably meet the public idea of one," Pete Sepp, a vice president at the conservative, anti-pork National Taxpayers Union, told the New York Times in reference to the Rehnquist center request.

So, they are not earmarks. Research earmarks and you will see the difference. Obama's record is disturbing and socialists. So he is not lying.

In 15 days, Obama beat out McCain's 25 years of asking for money. Pretty disturbing.
