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

Here is Sen. John McCain hitting Barack Obama for having accepted $1 Billion of Pork Barrel Projects (earmarks) during his time as a Senator. That's $1 million for every working day Obama has been in office. John McCain has never accepted an earmark. Who's really for change? McCain made the remarks July 29, 2008, during a Town Hall Meeting in Sparks, Nevada.

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!!!!

[checked08]

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

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.

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??

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?

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?

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]

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

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?
