Furthermore, CAGW has maintained congressional scorecards going back to 1991 rating how lawmakers have voted on earmarks and other government transparency issues. McCain scored 95 percent for his work in the 109th (2005-2006) Congress. He has an 88 percent lifetime rating, which qualifies him as a "taxpayer hero," according to the group.

McCain Falsely Claims He Has ‘Never Asked For A Single Earmark Or Pork Barrel Project’ For His State»
Watch it:
McCain’s claim is false. In 2006, the senator teamed up with fellow Arizona senator Jon Kyl (R) to funnel $10 million toward the University of Arizona for an academic center named after the late Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. Even Arizona lawmaker, Rep. Jeff Flake (R), said he was planning to “lean against the measure.” The National Taxpayers Union, another traditional McCain ally, questioned why the senator was making federal taxpayers foot the bill for the center.
FACT
This wasn’t pork because it wasn’t slipped into some bill in the dead-of-the-night, but was a separate piece of legislation. As a separate authorizing bill (that died in committee), it doesn't meet CAGW's definition of pork

McCain sought approval for the project in the 2004 defense authorization bill. Later that month, Roll Call ran a correction, saying that McCain hadn't violated his own rules and that Sen.

Is that better??
How about this, no one here is claiming McCain is the greatest answer - just better than Obama. Yes we know he has lied and will likely lie again.
We are not blind like you,
thinking your honkegro is the answer!

Appropriations are not the same as pork. The president has no way of knowing what is needed in every congressman's district, so appropriations are used by them ALL to channel money to their areas for different projects. Pork is a line item in an appropriation which circumvents the established budgetary procedure. Don't mix the 2, they are not the same.
