Obama Record - Accepts $1 Million a Day of Pork as Senator

[Surf2130]

The facts are the facts you fu@# retards! Your ignorant, Obama could admit he will destroy America and you would still vote for him. You people have lost your minds!!!!

[natbedfor]

Barack Obama, in 2007, submitted a laundry list of federal funding requests, known as earmarks, to the Senate Appropriations Committee: 112 earmarks totaling more than $330 million in taxpayer funds.

[checked08]

but how much of the total sum was the GOOD kind of earmarks? you know...the kind not hidden from public view?

[elsobrantemom]

Flat out lies. They really do think the public is stupid. McCain chose as his VP the queen of Alaska pork. Ms. Reformer requested more earmarks per capita than any other governor. And McCain is lying if he says he's never requested any earmarks. Amnesia or alzheimers??

[mallusong]

he sounds sick,angry and frustrated......seems he knows hes going to lose in the election...

[Swingstate08]

McCain's 100 year war costs 10 billion dollars a month and now we are 39 trillion dollars in debt to foreign countries? Was McSames war in Iraq fiscally responsible?

McCain is a liar and hypocrite, my friends. In 2006, he teamed up with fellow Arizona senator Jon Kyl (R) to funnel $10 million of pork toward the U. Arizona for an academic center named after William Rehnquist. In 2003, McCain also slipped $14.3 million into a defense appropriations bill to

create a buffer zone around Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. There are more examples, but these alone prove he is a bald face liar.

And how is it the Obama Campaign knows nothing about this? Don't you think they would be calling McCain out on it front page NEW YORK TIMES?

[nvpatentlawyer]

The Obama chooses to focus on issues and not ad hominem attacks. McCain's campaign is sad and desperate.

nvpatentlawyer,

Nice side step to my question. Want to try to answer my question again?

Here, I'll copy and paste it again if you forgot it already.

"And how is it the Obama Campaign knows nothing about this? Don't you think they would be calling McCain out on it front page NEW YORK TIMES?"

I anxiously await your answer to my question, or another side step to avoid it.

[nvpatentlawyer]

Who says the Obama campaign knows nothing about McCain's pork? It is public record. Of course they do -- they are just not interested in stooping to McCain's level. And who says I side-stepped your question? Bullshit. Are you disputing the facts? Or are you doing what the sad McCain campaign is doing -- trying to make this about Obama and not the issues? Haven't you had enough of the failed policies of the Radical Right?

[ClassicFIHD]

nvpatentlawyer,

Obviously you have no proof. If CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, and the Huffington post have nothing to call McCain a liar with, then you obviously have nothing.

"Bullshit. Are you disputing the facts?", I disputing only you're lies about McCain and pork barrel spending. It's the only thing I am questioning and again you are attempting to side step my request for proof of your lie about McCain and Pork Barrel spending.

Do I ask a third time for your proof of you lie?

[Pv8man]

Wow, that's it?

That's all you've got?

You pull the pork issue out and constantly tell them, "your sick and tired, your sick and tired"

How about all the millions of dollars and endless connections from lobbyists?

McCain is no better...

[ClassicFIHD]

Pv8man,

Who pays for pork barrel spending?

Who pays for the millions from lobbyists?

How can you compare the two?

this guy is so scary
