Hunter does not abide by the way in which these items were to be removed from a bill. The reason? He is on the Defense Appropriations. He does not want to give idiots like democrats the ability to yank needed things, like say, Missile defense, out of the Defense bill.
I do not buy it. if such things are needed, then we need to make a case for them. There is just too much corruption surrounding the earmarks process to take this so lightly.
