Another charge is that Hunter is an earmark porker, and loves to spend money at least as much as Bush, if not more. I haven't checked that one out.

Hunter defends earmarks. However, he also makes all of his earmarks public knowledge, unlike the rest of the Congresscritter who keep them secret, so the public can decide if the earmarks are pork or properly-directed spending (he has pushed, for example, for better IED counterefforts, but has also pushed for defense contracts for companies in his district - but at least you know what he has put in for).

Duncan has a left leaning position on trade but is a supply sider on taxes. He is average as a GOP spender according to National Taxpayers Union. Not a Club for Growth type but an ACU type with a lifetime rating of about 92.

I knew all that a long time ago. Nobodys perfect but DH sees things pretty much the same way I do. In fact neither of us is prone to sartorial splendor but both of us are what you see is what you get. For better or worse. :-}
