So the Republicans ran on ending earmarks, and now, they appoint one of the main offenders involving earmarks as their Appropriations Committee Chairman.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by this.  Both parties put porkmongers in charge of the Appropriations Committee, and voters repeatedly elect porkmongers.

Did people seriously expect voting out the Democrats was going to change things?

EDIT: Apart from, obviously, allowing Obama to pass through the legislation he campaigned on.

I didn't, but I just figured I'd point out how quickly the hypocrisy begins.
