But that doesn't stop you from rolling in their spew like a dog on a fresh turd.
Hunter was investigated to the gills and came out clean. You're pathetic in your attempts to slime a good man with liberal propaganda.
Here are the roll votes followed by a link to each of the 19 amendments:

What the Flake anti-pork amendments did was to force each member of Congress to go on the record with respect to 19 useless projects, rather than hiding behind a vote by acclamation to approve the expenditures as part of a larger bill. By forcing our Congressthieves to go on record, they would not be able to claim at a later date that they only voted for the pork because it was tacked onto a more important piece of legislation that they couldn't vote against.
A vote in favor of the Flake Amendments would have killed each of the wasteful expenditures. Hunter voted against each of the 19 amendment and in favor of pork. So did Pelosi.
NO, he did NOT vote for pork. He voted against the amendments. How were they worded, were they just 'fluff"? As you were shown, so did most republicans, maybe even your congressman. Who is your congressman, and did you vote against him for this? The amendments all failed for a reason.
I already did Dirtyboy. Go to Google, Yahoo, Clutsy, etc., and plug in "Duncan Hunter and Duke Cunningham" and "Duncan Hunter and pork." Although his ties to Duke Cunningham are not in dispute, the more series allegations regarding corruption have not been proven and they may never be proven. BFD. Regardless of the truth of the allegations, he has left himself open and vunerable, and there is enough taint for his Democratic opponent in concert with the MSM to portray him as part of the congressional culture of corruption and to make him look like he's the problem with government, not the solution. He will spend so much time on the defensive, that he will never get his message out, and we will lose by a landslide.
And you get a bunch of liberal sites like you just posted.
and "Duncan Hunter and pork."
And you get a bunch of pro-shamesty types.

To a Rudy booster, who cares if the allegations are true, apparently.

I love it. You would have us choose our candidates by what the MSM would do to them. NEWS FLASH - they will attack ANY GOP nominee, no matter what.
He will spend so much time on the defensive, that he will never get his message out, and we will lose by a landslide.
Aided by the likes of you, apparently, who seek to follow the siren call of the RINO.

Each of the 19 Amendment would have removed a single item of pork from a larger approriations bill that had been placed in the appropriations bill at the request of an individual member of Congress (hence the term "member initiative," which is the suger-coated term for pork.) A vote AGAINST the amendments is a vote for the pork barrel expenditures... oops, I mean member initiatives; and a vote FOR the amendments is a vote against the pork expenditures. When given the oppurtunity to go on the record against pork, my Congressman -- Sue Kelly (R) -- failed miserably by voting with Duncan Hunter against all but three of the Amendents. Guess what? She lost the election last November.
Note that there were 44 members of Congress who votes for at least 15 of the 19 Amendments (remember, a vote for the amendments is a vote against pork). Of those 44, 42 were Republicans, including Tancredo, who voted for 17 of 19.
Good work, AuntB
Do you even realize the gross irony in making far-fetched and dispproven insinuations about the propriety of every candidate other than Giuliani. You look ridiculous.
LOL!!!
I certainly agree that nothing is more important then liberty. What candidate best supports your ideals then?
Ron Paul is the only candidate that has a record of supporting liberty.
Unless the RP gets back to its small government roots, the RP will become a permanent minority party.
Foxwoods will find a way. They already got caught in 1999-2000 using Federal funds (millions $$$) to pay non-Indian employee benefits with a slap on the wrist "don't do that anymore". They will find a way around this too.
