Exactly. While, I've railed against earmarks, my friends, for thirty years, while having no effect whatever. And he thinks this is a good talking point. With McCain, there really is no there there.
I’ve sometimes wondered if McCain suffers from a form of Stockholm Syndrome as a POW and it’s manifested in his political dealings with left wing Democrats.
When you hurry on over to Washington to create a 750$ Billion dollar bill , earmarks are puny in comparison. He was part of the looters who have either stolen generations of wealth or will cause national insolvency. The constipated McCain lady on the radio is full of it!
And Juan really needs to be exposed on this: How much earmarks typically are ($30 billion and less), how much the total budget is ($3 trillion plus), and name some really worthwhile earmark projects brought to Arizona, as well as condemning truly wasteful projects. It's all a tiny amount to receive so much attention. - A cheap applause line!
There is far more to be saved in Medicare/Medicaid fraud (a now about $60 billion annually) than in earmarks, but we hear little about it. Have provided links for that figure in the past.
