Last fall, Democratic leaders repeatedly promised to lead Congress in a more “open” and “honest” fashion. Now they’re not only breaking those promises, they’re actively moving in the opposite direction.

It seems a lot of people actually believed Pelosi, Murtha and other dem leaders before the election. Where's the outrage now?

Are they trying to divert attention so they can cave on border security?

(Just worrying.)

House Republicans Declare War on Secret Earmarks & Wasteful Spending..........

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If the republicans would have done this a few years ago they would still be in charge.

>> Where’s the outrage now?

The outrage is where our “unbiased adversarial free press” puts it.

When Democrats do pork and hide it, it’s buried on page 47D.

When Republicans do pork, it’s on 1A.

It should ALWAYS be on 1A.

"Murtha was caught by C-SPAN’s cameras threatening House Republicans who tried to object."

When is someone going to grow a pair and put it right back to this crook?

Funny how the Republicans weren’t so concerned about this for the entire decade they ran the House.

Yeah. OK. But why didn't the Republicans pursue these reforms during their 10 year rule?

Wow, too bad you didn’t declare war on spending SEVEN YEARS AGO, back before the words “corruption,” “waste,” and “Republican” became synonomous.

About six years too late for that.

Everyone who was “outraged” is probably now just resigned.

The United States Capitol building is really much like a prison. Filled with cheap criminals and thieves. Only at the end of the day they go home or to a political meeting while at prison the criminals are in lock down.
