Default Re: House of Reprentatives RePork Card

I'm surprised Ron Paul only voted against 29% of them. Anyone know why that is?

It's likely to be more complicated than the bill being just anti-pork. Given the way this usually works there were probably some asinine riders thrown in (a la internet gambling prohibition).

Too often congrssmen are criticized (or praised) for their vote on a bill solely based on the title, e.g., "How could you be against the PATRIOT act?! What are you, some kind of pinko commie?!"
