more fun with pork fiend politicians

Another year, another bunch of unkosher politicians.  Sadly, ALL THREE of the top three porkers on the CAGW list were GOP.  Their names, and how much did they take from the public trough, you ask?  Well, here you go,

For the first time, the names of members of Congress were added to the projects. The top three spenders were Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., with $892 million; Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska with $469 million; and Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., with $465 million.


Murtha! Byrd! You're gonna let these GOP bastards challenge your rightful places in the Porker Top Three?  Get your heads in the game, ladies, you have funds to waste and voters to buy, dammit!

I can't tell you how aggravating it is that our side has the top three pork fiends, needless to say, none of these sellouts should get a penny of support, and why I favor giving to individual candidates that are worth your support instead of to the GOP itself, which will hand your donation to these tools. 

The leadership needs to reign these guys in or the voters and leadership need to find replacements, now.  Seriously, does the GOP leadership know how to do anything but fuck up these days?

That report has links to the CAGW's Congressional/Senate Waste Lists in .PDF on the sidebar to that link, you can check those out if it isn't too depressing for you.
