I think the real villains when it comes to the pork are those who had it put in there. I'd like to see a list of all of them, and see them all, regardless of party affiliation, voted out of office. And I don't think that list would be confined to "Nancy P. and her groupies," but would contain a lot of both Republicans and Democrats. I do know this much: Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, and Gordon Smith, a Republican, were the initial sponsors of the arrow provision.
Yeah I don't know all of them but Shumer (D), Dodd (D) and Frank (D) all had a big part of it. The list is long and remember Dodd had that sweet deal (crook) from Countrywide. This whole thing was a Democrat business venture that hit the core of what the party is about. Being fair to all people under any circumstance, they gave so much money away and lied about it when asked about how the companies were doing. This stinks no doubt but there are ALOT of Dems who ran and pushed these companies into the ground all in the name of helping the poor and unfortunate.
