Congress "disconnected"

Senate voted on Thursday on a bill to put a ban on earmarks. The bill was voted down 71-29. The article is about how John McCain commented that congress was acting against the will of the people and stressed that pork-barrel spending was out of control. Senator McCain has never asked for earmarks while the article gives the numbers on how much both Senators Clinton and Obama have received. McCain asks that the senators who have received earmarks to give all unused money for their projects to be returned.
