The Club for Growth has released their “Pork Report” on the voting record of the U.S. Senate, and how well each senator ranks on their anti-pork agenda.

The criteria is the voting record on 15 anti-pork bills.

Only 4 senators have “perfect” anti-pork records, and only 3 of them were present for the majority of the votes.

Here are some notable rankings on the Pork Report (mostly presidential candidates):

• John McCain (R-AZ) – 100%, but was only present for 2 of the votes.
• Sam Brownback (R-KS) – 8/10
• Russ Feingold (D-WI) – The highest ranked democrat with 12/15. The next highest democrat is McCaskill at 6/15
• Barack Obama – 2/6
• Joe Biden – 1/6
• Hillary Clinton – 1/9

And here’s an article from The Democratic Party website: Democrats Ending Republican Reign of Pork Barrel Spending Sprees.

For more details, check out the report on the Club for Growth site. There’s also a report on the House, which includes 50 anti-pork bills.
