TWITTER: John McCain tweets his top ten “porkiest projects”


UPDATE (4 March 09): How To Manage A Beaver

In an attempt to embrace technology and bring the Republican Party into the 21st century, Senator John McCain twitters his “TOP TEN PORKIEST PROJECTS in theOmnibus Spending bill the Congress is about to pass.” Earlier Senator McCain tweeted, “$650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi – how does one manage a beaver? [emphasis added].” He subsequently changed that tweet.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Senator McCain attacked government spending on research type projects, and he continues that theme in his top ten porkiest projects. I wonder what type of programs besides defense spending would Republicans support. Besides cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, restricting civil rights, and deregulating—do Republicans actually make policy?
