The Reps. But that does not change the fact that the Dems ran on the platform of going back to the paygo, making earmarks transparent and significantly reducing the earmarks. They obviously are not living up to all their BS.
to my knowledge the Dems never promised to "eliminate" earmarks. They promised to reduce them and reform them. That happened. There's modestly more tranparency now, and there's less of it.
Does that mean earmark reform was a roaring success. NO. Its an improvement over the way your party ran congress.
I personally would like to see reform go much farther. And I am fully aware, and on record on this board, for criticizing Pork abusers like John Murtha. Dems abuse it too. But earmark spending was turned into an artform when your party ran things. McCain even admits that. Its not 'partisan" for me to point it out. So, I'm just giving you crap for your generalizations about both parties being equally bad on it.
