Billy Long Not So Fed Up With Earmarks: Long's 100% Earmark Approval Voting Record

Billy Long loves to joke that politicians are addicted to OPM (other peoples' money.) The more we learn about Billy Long, the more we learn Long is addicted to OPM. First it was his wild spending spree in the second quarter that sent over $150,000 outside of Southwest Missouri for campaign expenses.

To add insult to injury, Long looks desperate for money as his campaign manger James Harris made a $2400 donation to the campaign going into the home stretch. Now the most damning news has come out against Billy Long. We have been suggesting it for weeks, and now there is an official campaign commercial citing Billy Long's 100% voting record for earmarks.

Oh you just gotta laugh at Billy Long one more time. The main theme of his campaign has been the battle against earmarks. Billy Long is fed up, but he wasn't very fed up when he served on the Springfield Branson airport board. Just watch...



The Billy Long bus terminal to nowhere--now that's funny stuff. The bus terminal Billy Long voted to spend earmarks on was to the old Springfield Branson terminal, which was closed down a few short years later for the new modern terminal, which truly makes this a bus terminal to nowhere.

Billy Long looks like he is sweating in the video and he should be. His whole campaign appears to crumbling to the sound of a $3 million dollar earmark, and I have heard, Citizens United Against Government Waste cited the bus terminal as a huge waste of money. What makes this even funnier, Billy Long's name appears the the Citizens United Against Government Waste no-earmark pledge. Way to go Billy! Billy Loves having his cake and eating it too. This guy is a career politician in sheep's clothing.
