Yeah, I know, they are all liberal rags.) No wonder he voted against all 19 of the "Flake Anti-Pork Amendments."

List the amendments and let's take a look at them. Also list all the roll call votes so we can see how others voted on them.

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.
