McCain Lies About Pork Barrel Spending

From the republican debate on January 6, 2008. He says in 24 years in office he never asked for or recieved any pork barrel project in state.

FACT: In 2006 Senator McCain teamed up with Arizona Senator Jon Kyl (R) Arizona, towards the University Of Arizona for an academic center named after the late Supreme Court justice William Rehnquist. The National taxpayers union questioned why McCain would have the federal tax payers foot the bill.

In 2003 McCain slipped in $14.3 million into a defense appropriations bill to create a buffer zone around Luke Airforce base in Arizona. Is this the straight talk he speaks of and the change we need? I don't think so.
