According to the Citizens Against Government Waste :
Hillary Clinton ranked 13th in the Senate with $200 million
Barak Obama ranked 28th in the Senate with $97 Million
John McCain was last with no earmarks requested .
And this is not atypical of Senator McCain.. . For years and years he has been trying to get rid of these projects.He has been a consistent opponent of earmark spending ;often taking on his own party .
BTW Shame on the Republican Senators ;they more than helped make fiscal 2008 the worst in history . The 3 worse offenders were all Republicans .1.Senate Appropriations Committee ranking member Thad Cochran, R-Miss. with $892 million; 2.Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, with $469 million; and 3.Richard Shelby, R-Ala. with $465 million.
Next came the worse of the Democrats :
Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, 4th with 161 projects for $458.5 million.
5th Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va $386 million. Byrd received the Pantheon of Pork Award from the group for his lifetime worth of abuse.
The total value of Byrd’s pork projects was just ahead of 6th Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, 131 projects worth $385.5 million.
