Robert Byrd invented that.

I don't think it's limited, as you say, to republicans. Everyone inveighs against pork, but when the trough it put out there, they all dive in up to their elbows. That's why pork exists, and why commons get overgrazed.

The only distinction you offer that has meaning, methinks, is that republicans in recent history purported to be the party of fiscal responsibility.
