About Congress' Pork and Pacifism bill . . .

As you know, Congress has passed the Pork and Pacifism Act, but the interesting thing is that Pork is often used as a way of purchasing support.("Who Got Bought")). Amanda Carpenter of Human Events writes:

"Last week, when the House passed their pork-stuffed Iraq spending bill that establishes a date certain for withdrawal of American troops, only seven of the 43-member Blue Dog Democrats -- a group that purports to fight for fiscal responsibility and strong national security -- voted against the bill."

Gee, I'm not sure of an issue meriting non-partisan consideration more than the GWOT, can you?
