He UNEQUIVOCALLY said when he was running that he would say NO to earmarks and pork. Now earmarks nad pork are not so bad as long as they are for KY. Well guess what, ther are 49 other states that have Senators that feels the same way. So exactly do you stop earmarks and pork with that attitude? At same point someone has the first to say "hey thanks, but no thanks. I'm taking a stand on earmarks and pork even if it means no money for my state."
This is the problem with the whole teabagger movement. It's everyone else's pork which is causing the problem. Their own pork is just fine and is deserved and needed. This is just like all those older teabaggers railing against goverment handouts and so called government healthcare while they themsleves are collecting social security and medicare.
