Three times in recent years, the Arizona senator's lists of 'objectionable' pork spending have included earmarks requested by his new running mate. By Tom Hamburger, Richard Simon and Janet Hook, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers September 3, 2008 WASILLA, ALASKA -- For much of his long career in Washington, John McCain has been throwing darts at the special spending system known as earmarking, through which powerful members of Congress can deliver federal cash for pet projects back home with little or no public scrutiny. He's even gone so far as to publish "pork lists" detailing these financial favors. Three times in recent years, McCain's catalogs of "objectionable" spending have included earmarks for this small Alaska town, requested by its mayor at the time -- Sarah Palin. |

I heard on NPR that some projects she vetoed for other parts of the state were approved for Wasilla. No biggie.
I look forward to her speech tonight. |

Scroll Up!!
I provided a link to McCain's web page. Perhaps before you accuse me you ought to actually read my post and McCain's own website. I provided the requested information. Oh and it's evidence not "evidents" which is not a word. Yo! There is evidence and in the form of McCain's own words on a U.S. government maintained website. |
