She might have seen the light after her stint as State Senator. What has her earmark record been since being elected to Congress?

I read somewhere that even the Libertarian Ron Paul made earmarks for his own constituents.

I don’t mind someone’s record in the distant past. If I can overlook Ronald Reagan’s signing of a disastrous abortion bill in California ( and increasing taxe higher than his predecessor ) during his first term as governor, maybe I can overlook her past if her most recent record is different.

Ron Paul is one of the worst for earmarks. He attaches earmarks to bills he is certain will pass and then votes against the bill. The bill passes, Paul’s constituents get their “free stuff” and Paul claims he voted against the earmarks.

The problem isn’t earmarks, it’s spending.
