It does seem odd to pack a bill up with pork, a bill one knows is going to pass regardless, and not vote for it.

Hypocrite is saying one thing and doing another, habitually.

No, it's not odd. It's saying that either everyone gets the goodies, or nobody does. It's unfair for taxpayers in your district to subsidize taxpayers in another and not get anything in return.

Hahahhahahahhaha......

That's ridiculous.

It's more like those who put earmarks in and THEN decide to vote for the bill, only after their earmarks are in there are hypocritical, not the other fucking way around.. although sleezy is probably a better choice of words than hypocritical.

I was just disappointed that in the first minute or so Harry Reid was right on target, then he started calling those who vote against bills with their own earmarks in them hypocritical.

The funny thing is that from Reid's point of view, he's kinda right.

I mean, the whole reason they slap those things in there is to get more votes, right? So politicians who aren't playing his sleazy game are hypocritical in his eyes. It's like Satan calling somebody a hypocrite.
