"He never controlled congress. And he only got to vote for three seats in congress" Yawn. Is there something about wingnuts that give them poor reading comprehension? "Would you say that you can't every complain about something the Republicans do, if the Democrats had done it before?" In general, you'd have a point. But the Republicans were so blatant and virtually no one on the Right uttered even a squeak of complaint. Now, there were some. But they were a tiny minority. "Broadly defined the bill is almost entirely pork." That would be a really broad definition. "Narrowly defined (to cover only earmarks) it may have little or even technically no pork" Oh, there is pork in there. There is always going to be some. And, because of the way the system is, a small amount isn't a big deal as long as it goes to something reasonable.
