I know its a waste of time to engage you, but you can't really believe this can you?

Please review the most recent Highway Appropriations bill (or any of the last three or four) and repeat your statement with a straight face.

Fact is, the Congressional Republicans have increased pork-barrel 'ear-marks' by a ten-fold increase over Clinton era comparisons.

Bah Humbug!
I never said the Republicans don't load up essential spending bills with crap.
I was only addressing the ANWR point.
If you want to say that the Republicans are almost as bad as the Surrendercrats when it comes to pork then I'm afaid I will have to walk with you in full agreement. Hell, I'll even support your saying they are just as bad as the Demoncrats, but that is not what this thread is about.
