Exactly correct - both parties do it, the biggest difference is where the
pork goes and the size of it. *The democrats flip pork to infrastructure
type companies - which by the way does create jobs. *Republicans flip the
pork to the MIC and oil companies - this did not start with Bush.
Size difference - how loud would you conservative type folks screamed if
Bill Clinton simply GAVE 12 BILLION in CASH to his favorite supporter? *That
is exactly what Bush did, he flew 12 billion in cash into the open waiting
