WHAT REPUBLICANISM NOW MEANS

An interesting digest of what the GOP now represents:

Number of Pork Projects in Federal Spending Bills

2005 – 13,997
2004 – 10,656
2003 – 9,362
2002 – 8,341
2001 – 6,333
2000 – 4,326
1999 – 2,838
1998 – 2100
1997 – 1,596
1996 – 958
1995 – 1439

Notice the doubling under Bush and his big-spending cronies and allies. You think these people will respond to “PorkBusters” campaigns? Puh-lease. They’ll respond only when they are thrown out of office.
