Don't like all of the pork spending earmarks that congress takes every year? Then don't vote for the porkers who've been doing it!
For example, Dennis Kucinich rails against the budget, but then pigs-out on his own pet earmarks. From this article:
If you don't like overspending, why vote for a porker-presidential-candidate? Besides the kush-man, which of the presidential candidates who are presently members of congress have also had their grubby hands in the the pork-barrel trough?
For example, Dennis Kucinich rails against the budget, but then pigs-out on his own pet earmarks. From this article:
Kucinich has frequently decried spending for projects that are not militarily useful. During an Aug. 19 presidential debate, for example, he advocated shifting $75 billion from what he called “that bloated, wasteful Pentagon budget” toward education programs.
And since 2005, Kucinich has pushed legislation (HR 808) that would establish a Department of Peace and Nonviolence.
Kucinich voted against the Defense appropriations bill, but not before convincing the committee to include in it $1 million for a “highpower, lightweight zinc-air battery” made by Energizer Battery Manufacturing Inc., in Westlake, Ohio, which is in his district.
Kucinich did not return calls requesting comment.
