Las Vegas Review Journal: Democratic earmark reforms lasted 100 days“When Democrats took control of Congress four months back, incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., bragged it would take her party less than 100 hours to curb wasteful pork spending by requiring members to attach their names to their "earmarks," exposing such waste to the harsh light of public scrutiny. She failed to mention this "reform" would remain in effect for little more than 100 days.”
St. Petersburg Times: Pet projects pushed out of public eye“The new game that House Appropriations Chairman David Obey intends to play with budget earmarks this year is worse than the usual hide-and-seek. He is taking the whole thing underground, as though he is to be trusted as a one-man auditor for congressional pork. If this is to be the new ethic that Democrats promised, voters might want their ballots back.”
At some point, the American people are going to realize that the Demcorats weren't all that interested in anything other than regaining power and they didn't care what lies they had to tell to get it.
