Andrew Jackson and the following Jacksonian Democrats campaigned on opposition to general appropriations bills that provided funding for river and bridge improvements. In the days of slavery, the plantation owner would at times distribute salt pork, which would create a great rush to the barrel that contained it. As a slur, the same behavior became attibuted to politicians, who in passing general appropriations slavishly dug into the pork barel to take as much as they could.
Those were his pre-congressional photos..
OMG.........LMAO double barrel
FDR: “WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR BUT PORKULUS HIMSELF.”
Notice that this whereisreagan did not answer a perfectly honest question?
This makes me suspicious of whereisreagan. When you ask questions, wereisreagan is nowhere to be found.
and aardappel means potato!
Here is my post on this subject:
Rush was the first to use the word porkulus to describe Obamas bill. He used it on his radio show for the first time on Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Cantor was on his show the next day, and Rush wrote his article for the WSJ the day after that. See the time line below:
Rush: Pearl of Wisdom: If you look at the details of whats in this porkulus plan, very little of it is stimulating. Its just pork. Its the Democrats paying back unions and the people that got em elected. Theres $4.19b for neighborhood stabilization. That means voter fraud. Thats ACORN. Tue, 27 Jan 2009
Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA) calls to discuss the Obama Porkulus bill. It was just last month that Obama promised that this bill wouldnt be full of pork. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here) Wed, 28 Jan 2009

He looks porcine even in pictures on his own official website:
He seems about twice the size of Steny Hoyer ... and Hoyer isn't exactly anorexic.
Like most other horror stories expect...SON OF PORKULUS. Comingsoon to a neighborhood near you!
Good one!
