Please try to know about your group in the future. Merry Xmas.
You should read your own story. That 351 to 65 references freshmen lawmakers only. Freshmen democrats outnumbered freshment republicans 46-13 so it's not surprising they got a lot more earmark spending than them. In reality they got just over 50% more per member than their republican counterparts.

Now what about the previous 6 years when Republican lawmarkers were getting considerably more pork per person than democrats?

Evidently you can't read, it clearly states freshman democrats. You shouldn't have objections if you are paying attention.:

Evidently your reading comprehension is somewhere below that of a 2nd grader. Your comparison of 351 million to 65 million is apples to oranges since you failed to mention that freshmen democrats outnumber freshment republicans 46 to 13. And the 351 million is a piss in the bucket. There are individual members of congress (like several big name Republicans) who had more pork spending in their district in one year than those 46 freshmen democrats combined.

No comment on the fact that Republicans outspent Democrats for the previous 6 years? I wonder why.... NOT.

How come Republicans are suddenly so interested in pork spending now? Why not the previous 6 years?

Maybe the OP intended to point out that conservatives have a slower flow of blood through their veins as they aren't prone to exercising or physical activity (The GOP's veins are too busy churning out vicodin, fecal matter, and anti freeze, and don't bring your tired old "what about the troops" excuse you 60 years old, and the people you fought with had a purpose. Most of the kids in the military are only there so they can afford a B.A from a good college, and get a real job as opposed to a dirt farmer.

Wow, such wit.

In other words you don't want to address the point. Republicans love pork spending just as much as Democrats. When they are in charge they spend like drunken sailors.

LOL, Dr. doggie lets go another brain fart of a sentence.

Still can't face up to the fact that Republicans love pork spending.

I have no group. Please try to educate yourself on people prior to your judgments.
