He would see a bill which he knew was going to pass and add the earmark for projects his district and then turn around and vote against them while claiming he never voted for spending. I like how he traveled first class and did not purchase his tickets for the best price but raised hell about the spending. There needs to be more like him brought to light and get rid of them. He is in another crazy group, don't know how to govern.
