McCain seems to have done better on cutting pork-barrel then Obama in 2007

September 26, 2008

McCain has a 100% approval rating on cutting pork barrel spending in 2007. 88% life time.

Obama has a 10% approval rating on cutting pork barrel spending in 2007. 18% life time.

(does this mean that John McCain votes with the taxpayers 88% of the time? )

Another interesting angle on these two canidates
….at least until he appointed the most pork-gobbling governor in the Union as his VP.

I am comparing McCain to Obama, there is no approval ratings by the CAGW for governors.

I don’t think anyone disputes McCain’s War Against the "corruption" that he sees with earmarks. He was winning that claim hands down on his own.

However, the fact that he extends this pork-fighting rhetoric even now to the record of his VP pick makes the claim farcical. She’s requested more pork for her population than any other state in the Union.

I thought Robert Byrd of WV held that title.

I would agree

Except Obama wants to cut a $150 Billion per year piece of pork out of the budget, so I think that trumps McCain.

Net swing of $300 Billion?!? for the tax payers!

She seems to be cutting ear-marks

Rehfeld said she believes the state government annually made more than 100 earmark requests of the congressional delegation in previous years. She said the request for this year, the first under Palin, was for more than 50 earmarks.
Her goal in the coming year is to ask the delegation for no more than a dozen or so, excluding recurring ones the state gets every year for things like the National Guard and salmon sustainability work. Rehfeld said there aren’t many of those.

Not real good, but better.

I am observing and analyzing actions to this point. Talk is cheap. Money buys whiskey.

27 million dollars in earmarks for the village she mayored.

Its the forth largest city in Alaska.

And this thread has nothing to do with Palin. Its between the two presidental canidates.

I will make another thread about Palin later.

Should’ve told him not to name such a polarizing figure…and it wouldn’t be a problem.

I mean…if you haven’t noticed…McCain is no longer the candidate…he’s just along for the ride.

If I were him…and I won…I’d get a taste tester.

And you seem to be the one that has been polarized.

McCain is still the candidate for president. The problem is that you have been sucked into the political posturing and can no long separate you own disdain to make a discussion on a relative issue regarding the actual candidates. Good job on that.

Projection.

I said "27 million in earmarks for her tiny village". You came back telling me what I SHOULD be talking about.

I told you she’s become the candidate. Which is really stating the obvious…because McCain won’t stump without her anymore (he can’t get crowds).

And then you cried

You are still not getting it are you? If I wanted to discuss Palins record about ear-marks in this thread, I would have made the thread accordingly. I have discussed it with Karnejj is several other threads. The topic is presidential candidate vs. presidential candidate. If you have an issue or want to make a different inference about the political posturing of either party, you may feel free to make a many threads about it as you feel fit.

All you have done is interject you own polarization and feelings into a thread that has no bearing of what you are even trying to discuss.

Thanks dude.

Thanks dude.

…. people still haven’t been let in on the joke
Earmarks are something like less than one percent of the federal budget, and there was an article saying McCain would only eliminate a small percentage of them.

Fail
