And how much has Oklahoma asked for , not even counting the disaster money from the Feds which is probably more than Alaska has asked for.
Tulsa alone took $50 million in earmarks for one river.

I don't get what this actually means or where it says anything to lead one to think it's wrong. Who knows maybe it was to help fund going "GREEN" []
Friendly Bear thinks that there are good earmarks and bad ones. But most of us can agree that this business of "bringing home the bacon" in order to keep one's self in office is plain wrong. Their should be a better way.
But the issue here is not earmark requests...that's well documented. On a per capita basis, Alaska under Palin,
this freakin' year, leads the nation.
The issue here is that McCain flat denies that she took earmarks as a governor when, irrefutably, she did. He keeps repeating these things and even Barbara Wa-wa knows he's lying.
He's not "spinning" or stretching...he's lying.
