    Pro-pork Republicans

    Pro-pork Republicans


    By Michelle Malkin • February 25, 2009 05:38 PM

    The House passed Porkzilla 2.0 — the $410 billion omni-waste spending bill - this afternoon.

    The roll call vote is here.

    Drink the Kool-Aid and repeat after me: There are no earmarks.

    In one of many untold, underhanded maneuvers, the House bill had a measure buried in it that will kill school choice in the rotten public schools of Washington, D.C.

    For the children.
    Of course.



    Fun fact: There were more Democrats who voted against omni-pork than Republicans who voted for it.

    15 no, 16 Pro-pork Republicans who voted for it:

    Bono Mack
    Brown-Waite, Ginny
    Cao
    Capito
    Castle
    Dent
    Emerson
    Gerlach
    LoBiondo
    McHugh
    Miller (MI)
    Murphy, Tim
    Reichert
    Upton
    Whitfield
    Young (AK)

    Michelle Malkin House roll call vote 245-178: Another $410 billion down the drain

    Omnibus spending bill; (A catch-all pork bill.)

    When Congress does not or cannot produce separate bills in a timely fashion (by the beginning of the fiscal year on October 1), it will roll many of the separate appropriations bills into one omnibus spending bill
