John McCain does not need to request earmarks. He has the other Senator from Arizona, Jon Kyl (R) doing the dirty work for him.
Jon Kyl has $118M dollars in the Omnbus bill. He tops a list of republicans that includes none other than Mitch McConnell and Lindsay, the usual hypocrites you see on TV talking about pork spending.
While John McCain was Twittering and ridiculing the "10 Porkiest projects" in the bill, he forgot to tell people that #6 on his list, $950,000 for a Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, SC was requested by...Senator Lindsay Graham.
Of course McCain will not tell you that. He won't tell us that Mitch McConnell requested $75M, Thad Cochran $76M, Graham $46M, and Jon Kyl $118M.
So, they requested earmarks on the bill they will vote against. But if by any miracle the bill passes, they will gadly take the money. If it does not pass, they will tell folks back home that they fought against the democrats' pork laden bill. If it passes they will brag about bringing the bacon home. Those are your republican Senators.
