It's a problem with both Democrats AND Republicans. If you look at the Citizens Against Government Waste website, you will see that 3 out of the top 5 earmarkers in the Senate and House are Republicans. In fact, the number and amount of earmarks has skyrocketed while the Republicans controlled Congress. I'm no fan of Sen. Byrd, Rep. Murtha and others, but let's not pretend that this is just a problem with the Democrats. We all have to take a long, hard critical look at our own parties.
I really hope this guy runs for president!
