Hey I don't think it is right that they are handing out $$$$ for my new deck - but if they are going to hand it out anyway - sh^t I am going to take it...but I may say it aint right!


..and are you saying that O/B are for earmarks and not reforming the system? where exactly do they stand?

If I am going to lambast my opponent and his earmark requests, I am going to make damn sure that I am clean on this front. Per capita, Alaska is worse. She is actually the earmark queen. That is why she is in bed (not literally...i dont think) with that corrupt congressman up there.

To answer your question, Obama's state has no earmarks for 2009 and is in favor of earmark reform.

Further, Geeker, why would McCain LIE about it on national TV. Do you want to see the clip where McCain says that Palin did not receive earmarks?
