The Republican Study Committee has a posted a list of Representatives who have sworn off earmarks.
It's not a long list, to be sure. And, regrettably, only one member of Virginia's delegation can be found on it: Eric Cantor.
I find it fascinating that so many self-described Virginia conservatives aren't on the list, but arch-Liberal Henry Waxman is. Imagine...Goodlatte, Forbes, Drake, Whittman..they are all to the left of Waxman when it comes to pork. Seems like that fact would make a fine television ad for some enterprising challenger.
Reminds me
Reminds me of the time Drake came to a TMG meeting and defended her earmarking ways. She said, if I recall, that she didn't see how Boehner could go home to his district and not take home the pork since everyone else was doing it. What principle!

"I find it fascinating that so many self-described Virginia conservatives aren't "
That's where you should have stopped that sentence and it would have explained EVERYTHING......
I remember the Drake
I remember the Drake comments, Nick. Obviously, she hasn't changed her porky ways.
Cargosquid...you are correct, as usual.
