Title: Earmarks & Pork Survive. GOP List Of Supporters. Do Not Forget
Post by: twyacht on November 30, 2010, 08:10:26 PM

All the GOP wanted was a moratorium on earmarks until 2012 or 2013. The majority of Republicans all agreed. EXCEPT 8.

The eight GOP senators who voted to preserve earmark spending include: Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), James Inhofe (Okla.), Dick Lugar (Ind.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Richard Shelby (Ala.), retiring Sen. George Voinovich (Ohio) and defeated Sen. Bob Bennett (Utah) also voted against it.

Jack Murtha, and be Robert Byrd would be proud.

There is only one surprise on that list.
Olympia Snowe (Maine) is not on it.
