Are Republicans hyprocrits for having the nerve to attack Dems on pork?

Question

There are no bigger porkers then Republicans.

According to a Congressional Research Service study, the number of earmarks in spending, or appropriations, bills went from 4,126 in 1994 to 15,877 in 2005. The value of those earmarks doubled to $47.4 billion in the same period. Earmarked projects often include roads, bridges and economic development efforts.

Answer 1

Yes they are being hypocrites, but as one of my English professor from college liked to say, Hypocrites are right 50% of the time. The Republicans are right in criticizing the pork. They were wrong with all the pork they used. Most conservatives let them know they were unhappy with their spending in the 2006 election.
