Why is this ad dishonest? First of all dinging any member of Congress for having some earmarks, before the GOP called for "Earmark Reform", when earmarks was how much of the appropriations process was done, is unfair. Voting for silly earmarks after the GOP called for reform is fair game, but Rick isn't guilty of this. Repeatedly abusing the earmark process to help donors and lobbyists is always fair game.
