Hypocrite on earmarks and fighting the old boys club......worked with Stevens and his son.....made numerous trips to Washington for earmarks at the publics expense. washingtonpost.com Vice presidential candidate Palin is decrying a system that has been very lucrative for her state and that, at least to some degree, she participated in," he said. The Arizona senator is an out and out opponent of the earmark system and for years has led efforts to end it, including reading the earmarks for defense contractors aloud on the Senate floor to embarrass those who sponsored them. Yet Alaska has been the largest beneficiary of the earmark system through the years and its most senior legislators, including Stevens and Rep. Don Young, also a Republican, were among its most ardent defenders. The money that the state of Alaska requested for 2009 includes $25 million for "Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery" and $3.2 million for seal and sea lion biological research, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense.
