House Democrats reject earmark bill (S.A. Miller, February 7, 2008, Washington Times)

House Democrats today rejected a Republican bid to halt pork-barrel spending and set up a panel to write earmark reforms measures.

Republicans, eager to reclaim the party's reputation for fiscal responsibility and turn the pork-spending issue against Democrats, used a procedural move to force the vote on the earmark-reform bill.

Democrats blocked the measure in 204-196 vote that split closely along party lines, prompting Republican charges that Democrats are soft on reforming earmarks, the process by which members slip pet projects into spending bills.

...earmarks are so important to them that they thought it was worth throwing Republicans out of Congress over them, but they don't support John McCain, the only presidential candidate in the history of the Republic who's cared about the issue?
