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
hands of he military contractors. Our troops did not have Armour for their
humvees or body Armour - but military contractors got 12 billion in cash...

Yeah, you're right. Democrat pork is good pork, Republican pork is bad
pork.
