Republican hypocracy at its finest...

I usually am ok with yahoo news, but this article about the $410 billion budget to keep the government running leaves out something important. It talks about how republicans were angry about the size of the bill and specifically quoted Senate republican leader Mitch McConnell critisizing the fact that congress has approved $1.2 trillion in 50 days. But read this snipit from this ABC News article:

"But Republicans' arguments against the earmarks in the bill were undercut by the fact that more than 40 percent of the earmarks were associated with GOP lawmakers, including Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., associated with more than $75 million in earmarks in the spending bill, including a nearly $1 million bike path.

The number one Senate earmarker, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, is Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., associated with more than $473 million in earmarks."

Now, I am not opposed to federal money for projects that make sense but $1 million for a bike path? These idiot republicans need to stop being hypocrates, and Yahoo really missed this important point in their article.
