Senate:
(1) Thad Cochran - Fake Republican out of MS - #1 - $846 million
(13) Clinton - Why am I not surprise she is so high - $296.2 million
(20)Harry Reid- Preach how wasteful the war is, but you waste $259.3 million yourself
(21) Dick Durbin - Please Sauerberg beat this guy, he is bleeding IL dry - $256.3 million
(33) Ted Kennedy - One of the worst Americans alive - $192.1 million
(34) Lieberman - Yep he is still a Democrat -$149.4 million
(38) Kerry - $138.8 million
(60) Obama - I was actually pleasantly surprised how low he was. However, I am skeptical that it is so low because he hasn't been in office long and his campaigning has interferred with his senate job. - $97.4 million

Bottom of the List with a bi $0 - that is not spending a cent for all of you slow people!
McCain and Feingold!
Now that is true fiscal conservatism!

The House

in the Millions
(1) Wicker - $176.3
(3) Murtha - $159.1
(7) Biden - $139.9
(19) Pelosi - $91.2
(23) Hobson - $88

Ron Paul - $22.7 million- middle of the list not sure the number- I was very surprised. You would figure this guy would practice what he preach and spend nothing (like McCain did), but I guess he is just a politician. There were 276 representative that spent less, including 10 that spent $0

Here is a list of '08 presidential candidate that spent less than Ron Paul and the number of space they beat him by:
Tancredo - $17.6 - 52 lower
Duncan - $15.9 - 75 lower
Kucinich - $8.1 - 182 lower
Graves - $6.7 - 196 lower

Shocking Ron Paul!
This whole O.P. is total nonsense, the numbers might be right about what they voted to support, but you inserted one missleading thing.

"Wastefull" pork spending. Yet you failed in this O.P. to prove the money was wasted on some useless purpose. Some or all of the projects might have been needed and very useful and wise to support with funding.

You need to show what each item is and show why it was a waste of money.
