McCain: "I've never requested an earmark in my career"

[Hagbard Celine]

Is that true? If so, that's pretty badass. I just heard him say it on CNN.

He's a liar. Aid to Israel comes in the form of earmarks:

McCain is going to do just like every Senator does - define "earmark" to not include any earmarks that they support.

The fact of the matter is, earmarks aren't intrinsically bad. McCain is just pandering to the lowest common denominator of voters. The retard sheep who think "lobbyist = bad" "earmark = bad" and that's as deep as they go.

It looks like you are the liar:
Earmark - To set aside funds for a specific purpose, use, or recipient. Generally speaking, virtually every appropriation is earmarked, and so are certain revenue sources credited to trust funds. In common usage, however, the term is often applied as an epithet for funds set aside for such purposes as research projects, demonstration projects, parks, laboratories, academic grants, and contracts in particular congressional districts or states or for certain specified universities or other organizations.

Hey TUba,
Did you pussy whiners from the big Sleazy learn anything about personal responsibility from the people of Missouri? I am still embarrassed to be from that shit hole state...... Louisiana. When are you going to round up all of the lowlife rats that fled your swamp?
