Let's be honest, he didn't "support earmarks". He voted for a bill that contained pork that was intended to change some no votes in the House to yes. It bothers me much less that this bill contained the pork than what it actually says and will do. I am totally supportive of Congress intervening to help restore confidence but not to use this as an opportunity to make a socialist power grab. Candidates like McCain don't have the foresight to oppose this and propose a market based solution. He is taking a beating in the polls and he is looking for any way to get this behind him. Politics as usual.....
