re: #22 Pianobuff

If what I’m reading is correct, than the R’s are going about it all wrong. Supposedly 40% of the pork in the soon-to-arrive Omnibus Spending Bill is R pork, to 60% D pork. If that’s true, than it’s pretty much an equal split of $ using a pork-per-elected-official metric.

I really hope this is not true, but if it is it will be quite an embarrassing moment and a bad setback.

Well of course it’s true. The special interests in Washington play both sides. So, it doesn’t matter what’s in a bill like that, all the politicians can sit back after it’s all over, and pat themselves on the back and know that their big money contributors has been taken care of.
