First, when he was no longer in the majority John Kline whined that the earmark system was broken and that he was going to take his ball and go home, but when it comes time to stand in front of his constituents he’s happy to show off improvements made with federal money.
U.S. Congressman John Kline has been among the most vocal critics of earmarking millions of dollars in federal money for specific projects in the home districts of U.S. senators and representatives.
But the Second District Republican wasn’t shy about appearing at a ribbon-cutting last week in Prior Lake to accept congratulations for obtaining more than $2 million to remodel one of the most dangerous roads in Scott County.
Now why was it that lil’ Johnnie decided that this was a good earmark? Because it came when he was in the majority.
The reason, he said, is that he earmarked the Scott County money years ago when he was like most members of Congress, pushing for special projects in their own districts.
Hypocrisy, thy name is John Kline. But the good news is Steve Sarvi is here.

So Steve Sarvi is against earmarks? No he is not. So what is your point?
Do you need help with some of the tough words? Kline is against earmarks. Except when he is not. Hypocrisy highlighted.
You might be better off sticking with My Weekly Reader, anonymous, if this post was confusing for you.
Any Congressman who is against earmarks should not get your vote. All that means is that money that should go to your district is going somewhere else. Kline’s screwed his district over and over again by not bringing home the bacon.
