Earmarks & Pork Survive. GOP List Of Supporters. Do Not Forget
« 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.
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

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