PORK

When the political humdingers... or Republicans, talk about "PORK" are they referencing Iowa? Or is this something completely different? No one I ask seems to know. And honestly, every time I hear the word "Pork" coming from a Republican mouth, I think I feel a little offended.

Can anyone help me out? What's "PORK" other than "the other white meat?"


ANSWER:
Ok... so after asking almost everyone, and not finding any answers, I went to the one person that would know. I went to Onthank's owner and Super-Republican, David Fisher. And I honestly think he was very excited to answer my question! So... here is the answer for "PORK."
PORK is a political term used by both parties and all independents to describe a popular practice in government. Everyone does it, some better than others. David made it sound like PORK was an acronym for something, but couldn't think of it.
PORK is the art of "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours." Better explained by, if I were and Iowa Senator in session and the Alabama Senator had a bill in Congress asking for $50 million to build a dam in Alabama, I would tell the Alabama Senator that I would give my vote to his $50 million Bill if his Bill gave me $500,000 for the museum I want to build in Des Moines. Basically filling his Bill with my stuff to get it all passed.
Thanks, David!!!
