Democrats who now run Capitol Hill have come under fire from government watchdog groups and the issue involves one as old as politics itself – pay to play. A now defunct Washington, D.C., lobbying firm called The PMA Group is at the heart of what could be the Beltway’s next big money scandal. The FBI is looking into allegations that several lawmakers gave lucrative defense contracts to their campaign contributors. The three principle targets of this federal investigation are Democratic Congressman John Murtha of Pennsylvania, Peter Visclosky of Indiana and Jim Moran of Virginia. Investigators want to know for whose...

Rep. Frank R. Wolf on Monday reiterated his opposition to jailing and prosecuting Guantanamo Bay detainees in Alexandria, after a fellow Northern Virginia congressman said over the weekend he was open to the idea. "To bring someone to Alexandria, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - who killed Daniel Pearl and was a mastermind of 9/11 - would be a mistake," Mr. Wolf, a Republican, told editors and reporters at The Washington Times. President Obama plans to close the terrorism-suspect detention facility at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay by January. Officials have said the fates of its roughly 240 detainees will...

It's not every day that a congressman asks for terrorists to be shipped to his hometown. So we were surprised to see Rep. Jim Moran, Democrat of Virginia, pen a column entitled "From Guantanamo to Alexandria" in Saturday's Washington Post. He actually championed the idea of bringing terrorists like 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other al Qaeda detainees to historic Alexandria. What's next? Does he want the nuclear waste that Nevada won't take? We understand why congressmen work to bring federal office buildings to their district or fight off noisome incineration plants. So we read Rep. Moran's column with...

Groups want ethics probe of Murtha, othersBy Sean Lengell Saturday, May 2, 2009 Four political watchdog groups that typically support Democratic causes want a congressional ethics panel to probe ties between three House Democrats and the defunct Washington lobbying firm, the PMA Group, which benefited from the lawmakers' help. In a letter Thursday to the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, the groups Common Cause, Public Citizen, Democracy 21 and U.S. PIRG asked for the panel to investigate whether Reps. John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, Peter J. Visclosky of Indiana and James P. Moran of Virginia were influenced by...

Obama administration officials say a final decision has not been made about where to relocate the 241 foreign nationals being held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and/or where to put them on trial...Some of the speculation has focused on the Albert V. Bryan U.S. Courthouse and Detention Center in Alexandria, which is in the district I represent in Congress... Like those in any other congressional districts, we Virginians would rather not have terrorism suspects held and tried in our back yard. Should some of the detainees at Guantanamo be sent to the Alexandria courthouse, there is no question that...

You’ve all seen them. Those ubiquitous TV ads where a simple little pill transforms a man suffering from erectile dysfunction, or ED, into a virile tiger who puts a smile on the face of his now beaming wife. Well, Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) has seen them too, and you’d be hard pressed to see a smile on his face when he talks about the ads. “A number of people,” he says, “have come up, including colleagues, and said I’m fed up. I don’t want my three or four-year old grandkid asking me what erectile dysfunction is all about. And I...

U.S. Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., says he has introduced a bill that would limit when TV and radio advertisements for erectile dysfunction medication can be aired. Moran said he proposed the bill in April after hearing numerous complaints about radio and TV advertisements that offer medication to help with the sexual dysfunction, CNN reported Thursday. "A number of people," Moran said, "have come up, including colleagues, and said I'm fed up. I don't want my 3- or 4-year old grandkid asking me what erectile dysfunction is all about. And I don't blame them." Moran's proposal would have the Federal Communications...

A measure that would prevent radio and television broadcasters from airing advertising between 6 a.m.-10 p.m. related to erectile dysfunction has popped up again in Congress. Jim Moran, the left-leaning Virginia Democrat who first introduced the Families for ED Advertising Decency Act in Congress in 2005, along with fellow Democrat Robert Brady of Pennsylvania, reintroduced the measure on April 29 with the aim to "prohibit as indecent the broadcasting of any advertisement for a medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and for other purposes." The prohibition would apply to all "pioneer and generic drugs that are medications for treatment...

I love my country. But I hate my government. Mostly because it hated me first. Here’s another proof. Jim Moron (sic) is a congressman from Virginia. He’s a Democrat. He’s been in Washington since he got out of college. He’s never held a job in the private sector. And he’s figured out a way to screw you. Deep and hard. Congressman Moron is the author of something called House Resolution 2091 – the Plastic Bag Reduction Act of 2009. It is also known as Dopey’s Law. At least it is to me. What Congresschump Moron wants to do is put...

Visclosky Seeks to Use Campaign Funds for Legal Defense Rep. Peter Visclosky (D-Ind.) is seeking permission from the Federal Election Commission to spend campaign money on legal fees that may arise from the FBI investigation of the PMA Group lobbying firm, though his request letter claims no independent knowledge of the investigation. PMA Group imploded after news broke in February that federal agents had raided its offices last fall, reportedly as part of an investigation of potentially improper campaign contributions. The firm’s employees and clients have provided millions of dollars worth of campaign donations to top Members of Congress, including...

Arlington County in Northern Virginia will try to maximize its population number in the 2010 Census by counting illegal immigrants, and part of the reason for doing so is to capture some of the $300 billion in federal funds distributed to local governments each year based on census numbers. That’s what local officials, Census Bureau officials and documents, and Rep. James Moran (D-Va.) indicated at a meeting on Wednesday. Moran and Census officials told CNSNews.com they are preparing to reach out to illegal immigrants by emphasizing that they have nothing to fear from the census because it does not differentiate...

The Army fired 11 soldiers in January for violating the military's policy that gay service members must keep their sexuality hidden, according to a Virginia congressman. Democratic Rep. Jim Moran said he has requested monthly updates from the Pentagon on the impact of the policy until it is repealed. In a statement released on Thursday, Moran said the discharged soldiers included an intelligence collector, a military police officer, four infantry personnel, a health care specialist, a motor-transport operator and a water-treatment specialist. "How many more good soldiers are we willing to lose due to a bad policy that makes us...

WASHINGTON -- For the past seven years, according to Rep. Jim Moran, "We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it." Actually, that "simplistic notion" has been the linchpin of the American system of free enterprise for the past two centuries. It has served to make the United States the most bountiful, wealthy and charitable nation on earth. Yet Moran says that system "doesn't work in the long run." My fellow Americans, welcome to the long run. The coincidence of an economic downturn and our...

In this socialist rant which could have been a page right out of the Communist Manifesto, Moran says: “It hasn’t been shared and that’s the problem. Because we have been guided by a republican administration his simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it, and they have an antipathy towards the means of redistibutive wealth.” See the Video here.This is the same Jim Moran who said “When I become chairman [of a House appropriations subcommittee], I’m going to earmark the sh*t out of it.”

It’s this type of political rhetoric that brings out the “Joe the Plumber” in all of us. Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., thinks it’s a “simplistic notion” for people who are successful in their bid to become wealthy to hold on to that wealth and not have it “redistributed” by the government. “Now in the last seven years we have had the highest corporate profit ever in American history,” Moran said in a video posted to YouTube on Oct. 31. “Highest corporate profit – we’ve had the highest productivity. The American worker has produced more per person than at any time,...

(CNSNews.com) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told CNSNews.com that she is “uncertain” about whether the federal government should bailout California. Pelosi said she hadn’t read California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s emergency request to the Treasury Department asking for $7 billion in federal loans, even though the letter had been forwarded to her office. “I haven’t read it. It’s been delivered to my office. I haven’t made a statement yet,” Pelosi said Friday at the Capitol. The speaker added: “Let’s just take a look at the highly unusual request that was made. I do know that all the states do have tremendous...

The race for the Virginia 8th District congressional seat has seen two candidates vying for the Republican nomination and the opportunity to unseat nine-term Democratic Congressman Jim Moran. This week, I interview one of the candidates, Amit Singh. My interview with his opponent, Mark Ellmore, will be published next Monday. The primary is on June 10. Paul Ibrahim (P.I.): Mr. Singh, thank you for doing this interview. Can you, in one sentence, explain why you are running for Congress? Amit Singh (A.S.): I am running for Congress because our politicians are leading America in the wrong direction and those who...

If whoever plays the Nazi-analogy card first loses, then Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) is a double loser. First, for having played the Bush = Hitler card, second, for lacking the courage to stick by his slander. Moran, a member of Congress' Out-of-Iraq Caucus, was a guest on this evening's Tucker. The eponymous host was hammering him over the fact that despite all their inflamed anti-war rhetoric, the Dems have folded like the proverbial lawn chair, caving to all President Bush's funding requests for Iraq. When Moran could take the taunting no longer, he resorted to the loser's strategy. But watch...

No, I’m not joking. Veterans Outraged Congressman Moran calls our soldiers War Criminals“Sure there’s less violence, but that’s because we’ve ethnically cleansed most of Baghdad” - Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA) Ethnic cleansing is a war crime, according to the UN and the rest of the civilized world. That Jim MorOn chose to use those words is beyond unfortunate, it is traitorous and back-stabbing and a bald-faced lie. Vets For Freedom has a petition you can sign to call on Congress to condemn these accusations.If you remember, Jim MorOn is the same guy who said “Jewish Americans, as a voting...

In case we forgot Harry Reid's fantasy of al-Qaeda "civil war" in Iraq from yesterday, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) reminds us why Democrats have gone out of their minds on the Iraq debate. Moran tells Congress during the funding debate that American troops "ethnically cleansed" Baghdad. No kidding (via The Corner): "Sure, there's less violence, but that's because we've ethnically cleansed most of Baghdad." The UN and most of the rest of the world define ethnic cleansing as a form of genocide. Moran believes that American troops have conducted that crime in Baghdad as part of a pacification program. His...

Yes, that headline is accurate. Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) said:"Sure there’s less violence but that’s because we have ethnically cleansed most of Baghdad.” Maybe Moran wants to bring Gen. Petraeus up on charges. His friends at MoveOn would be pleased. More (watch the video of his comments) here.

Defense: Democrats are balking at a White House request to fund the refitting of B-2 bombers so they can carry bunker buster bombs. It seems they're not interested in dealing with a real threat. "The drumbeats of war are beating again, this time against Iran, and we have to step in while there is still time," moaned Rep. Jim McDermott, Democrat of Washington, said through a spokesman. "We are not authorizing Bush to use a 30,000-pound bunker buster." Rep. Jim Moran, Democrat of Virginia, said he assumes the target for the bunker busters is Iran. Expect Moran to use his...

NJDC Blasts Democrat Rep. Jim Moran Criticized For Blaming Israel. -- Steve Rabin While the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) appears to enthusiastically support all Republicans, even those who support loopholes to allow Halliburton to trade with Iran or wish to cut foreign aid to Israel, the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) views its mission as two-fold: First, supporting the vast majority of Democrats who share our values and appreciate Israel's role as an American ally, homeland for the Jews and a beacon of democracy in the Middle-East. Second, holding to account those Democrats who betray these values. We have...

What is it with Jim Moran? The nine-term Democratic congressman from Northern Virginia can't seem to keep his head on straight when it comes to talking about Iraq and the reasons we have ended up over there. In the run-up to the March 2003 invasion, during an event at a Reston church sponsored by a peace coalition, Moran said: "If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this." Not stopping there, he added, "The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change...

A well-known anti-war leader has gone public with the transcript of a private conference call that shows peace activists are exasperated with the Democratic congressional leadership and at a loss for a long-term strategy. The Aug. 29 call highlights divisions in the Democratic Party that Republicans are gearing up to try to exploit as Congress debates its response to the report on Iraq this week by Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker. ...etc. The article also contains a link to the transcript of the Aug. 29 phone call, which includes Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) and Rep. Jim Moran...

The Network of Spiritual Progressives Strategizing with leaders of the Anti-War Movement Posted Friday, September 07 2007 Rabbi Michael Lerner This is a slightly edited version of a phone conference call convened by the NSP with the goal of establishing more contact and cooperation between various segments of the anti-war movement, and encouraging long-term strategic thinking. On the call were Tim Carpenter of Progressive Democrats of America, Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, Rick Ufford chase of the Christian Peace Wtiness for Iraq, Leslie Cagan of UFPJ, Dot Maver of Ept. of Peace, Rabbi Michael Lerner and Nichola Torbett of NSP,...

The sheets of paper seemed to be everywhere the lawmakers went in the Green Zone, distributed to Iraqi officials, U.S. officials and uniformed military of no particular rank. So when Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) asked a soldier last weekend just what he was holding, the congressman was taken aback to find out.

HC-8 in the U.S. Capitol 10 a.m. Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against the Vice President on April 24, 2007, because “the Vice President actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and Congress about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. He has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive us about the relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda. And he openly lied to the America people and has publicly threatened aggression against Iran,” Kucinich said. There are currently 16 co-sponsors of H.Res. 333: Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Rep. Robert Brady (D-PA), Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Rep....

When it comes to anti-war politics, Rosie O'Donnell is one bedfellow Chris Matthews would gladly do without. The MSNBC host made that crystal clear on this afternoon's Hardball. Matthews played a clip of O'Donnell's recent slanging match in which she unmistakably intimated to Elizabeth Hasselbeck that US troops are terrorists, responsible for 655,000 civilian deaths in Iraq [itself a grossly exaggerated figure in any case]. MSNBC HOST CHRIS MATTHEWS: While I generally sympathize with her point of view, her skepticism about this war, I do have a problem with her suggestion that we're the terrorists, which is clearly what the...

Key House Democrats plan to insist the Pentagon shut down the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and are contemplating the relocation of many of the 385 or so remaining terrorist suspects to military brigs along the East Coast -- including Quantico, Va., and Charleston, S.C. "It sets us back in the war on terrorism to be maintaining Guantanamo," said Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), who's heading an investigation of the facility for the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. "It will enhance our reputation to close it down and to apply our system of justice to all of these detainees," he added....

ONE MAN'S OBSESSION It was more than four years ago, Feb. 6, 1998, that President Clinton - a Democrat if there ever was one - signed Public Law 105-154, renaming National Airport "Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport." But one Democrat in particular, Rep. James P. Moran of Virginia, was outraged. In fact, Moran, whose congressional district encompasses the airport, declared that if Democrats ever regain control of Congress while he's still a member - his own party gives him two more years - he'll introduce legislation to remove "Ronald Reagan" from the name. In the meantime, the Virginia Democrat is...

Arlingtonians Remember 9/11 in Their Own Ways by Kristen Armstrong Sun Gazette Monday, September 11, 2006 ...The fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was commemorated Monday in a ceremony that not only honored those who died, but saluted those whose actions on 9/11 made a difference. ... But Moran then maneuvered into more sensitive ground, suggesting that the country was not safer and intimating that the Bush administration's foreign policy was headed in the wrong directions. “More people hate us,” Moran said, a comment that drew an outburst from the crowd. “My brother died on 9/11 -...

Democrats are in a solid position to reclaim control of the House of Representatives this November, and could also take control of the Senate, U.S. Rep. Jim Moran told a crowd gathered in Falls Church last Saturday morning at Stacy’s Coffee Shop. Moran held three such town meetings in his 8 th Congressional District of Virginia on Saturday, departing Stacy’s after an hour and a half for similar events in Reston and Arlington. Falls Church Mayor Robin Gardner and Vice Mayor Lindy Hockenberry were among those present at the Falls Church event. Moran reminded the crowd that the City of...

O'Donoghue, Iraq War Vet to Face Jim Moran in Virginia Tom O'Donoghue, an Iraq War veteran, will be the next GOP candidate to challenge U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-8) this fall. O'Donoghue, 41, an account executive at LexisNexis, defeated mortgage lender Mark Ellmore in Tuesday's Republican primary for the 8th Congressional District, which spans Alexandria, Falls Church, Arlington and parts of Fairfax counties, including most of Reston. 'We had a great way of targeting people and a real clear message,' said O'Donoghue after the victory. WITH ALL 141 precincts reporting, O'Donoghue received 69 percent of the vote, or 3,058 votes....

If Democrats win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November, U.S. Rep. Jim Moran said he would use his position in the majority to help funnel more funds to his Northern Virginia district. Moran, D-8th, told those attending the Arlington County Democratic Committee's annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner on June 9 that while he in theory might oppose the fiscal irresponsibility of “earmarks” - funneling money to projects in a member of Congress's district - he understands the value they have to constituents. “When I become chairman [of a House appropriations subcommittee], I'm going to earmark the shit...

Every once in a while, a politician provides a moment of utter clarity, usually inadvertently, which defines their character so well that further defense is pointless. Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) not only did that for himself but for his entire party, and provided the Republicans with a valuable sound bite for the upcoming mid-terms in every district: If Democrats win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November, U.S. Rep. Jim Moran said he would use his position in the majority to help funnel more funds to his Northern Virginia district. Moran, D-8th, told those attending the Arlington...

Knowing the 8th Congressional District tends to vote overwhelmingly Democratic, neither Tom O'Donoghue, 41, or Mark Ellmore, 47, wants to be seen as a hardline Republican. "I don't have an elephant tattooed on my back end," O'Donoghue said. "I'm reaching out to labor organizations and African-Americans," Ellmore said. "I'm not interested in playing politics, I'm only interested in being the best I can be and spreading my message of hope and unity." The two candidates, both Alexandria residents, are vying for the GOP nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D) in the fall. But first they will face each...

Free admission to the Smithsonian Institution's museums and National Zoo stands out in the District, where everything has its price. But with deteriorating buildings, a maintenance backlog in the billions and fewer public dollars to spare, one member of Congress says no fees makes no sense. "I cannot understand why we don't charge a fee," Rep. James P. Moran, Virginia Democrat, said after hearing House testimony about insufficient funds for repairs. The Smithsonian in its 160-year history has never charged to visit the museums, stocked with displays of everything from dinosaur bones and the Hope Diamond to the original Star-Spangled...

Earlier this year there was a town hall meeting on the Iraq war, sponsored by Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), with the participation of such antiwar organizations as CodePink and MoveOn.org. The event also featured Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), a former Marine who had become an outspoken critic of the war. To this Iraq war veteran, it was a good example of something that's become all too common: People from politics, the media and elsewhere purporting to represent "our" views. With all due respect, most often they don't. The tenor of the town meeting was mostly what one might expect, but...

Kansas Congressman Jerry Moran wants his colleagues to recognize a bunch of bikers. Moran has introduced a bill to honor the Patriot Guard, a national network of motorcyclists who turn out at funerals for US soldiers killed in Iraq to counter a Topeka church's protests. The First-District Republican seeks to commend the group for shielding military families from funeral protests. The Westboro Baptist Church believes soldiers fighting in Iraq die because of God's anger at US tolerance of homosexuality. Last year a small group of motorcyclists revved their engines and waved US flags to serve as a barrier between a...

Al Gore got an endorsement for a second presidential bid in 2008 – from a Virginia congressman who blamed the Iraq war on American Jews. Questioned about the contest, Democratic Rep. Jim Moran said: "I'd like to see him get into the race." "He won the popular vote in 2000, and I think he's even stronger and more committed," Moran said yesterday on C-SPAN's Washington Journal. "But you know, he's got his own life and it's his decision to make." A spokesman for Gore had no immediate reaction to Moran's comments. Moran is not known as one of the most...

WASHINGTON - Democrat Al Gore, who in 2000 lost one of the closest presidential elections in U.S. history to Republican George W. Bush, should run for president in 2008, a congressman said Wednesday. Questioned about the contest, Democratic Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia said: "I'd like to see him get into the race." "He won the popular vote in 2000, and I think he's even stronger and more committed," Moran said Wednesday on C-SPAN's Washington Journal.

During a Town Hall meeting earlier this week Democrat Congressmen John Murtha (PA) and Jim Moran (VA) touted their call for a withdrawal from Iraq, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Moran and Murtha continued the anti-war diatribes which included their relating talks they've had with military officers and rank-and-file troops in Iraq. Murtha has said the military is broken, morale within the ranks is poor, we need to pullout immediately, and other defeatist rantings.Murtha had just finished his presentation during the Virginia townhall meeting, in which he added that he feared a slow withdrawal may give people the impression...

Last Thursday, an overwhelming crowd turned out at the National Rural Electric Cooperative in Arlington for a town hall meeting to discuss the road ahead in Iraq . Seated in the auditorium to hear my special guest Rep. Jack Murtha explain his reasons for an immediate redeployment of U.S. troops from Iraq, were over 500 people. In the two overflow rooms, we had almost 250 people. Almost as many where turned away under the fire marshal’s orders that the building was at capacity. Fortunately, CSPAN covered the event live on radio and television, so those who did not arrive early...

Pennsylvania Rep. John T. Murtha commanded the stage and a live national television audience with unbowed resolve to defend his call for the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq last Thursday, spellbinding an overflow crowd of 600 at a town meeting hosted by Rep. Jim Moran in the Ballston area of Arlington. Murtha’s credentials as a respected, veteran member of Congress with a strong record of supporting national defense has given enormous credibility to his call, and he told the audience Thursday that he’s been frustrated by the Bush administration’s reaction. “All they can respond with is rhetoric,”...

The mainstream news media's favorite anti-war veteran, Congressman John Murtha, has had a bad week. No thanks to the news media, either. The internet and talk radio were the instruments of Murtha's negative coverage. The first incident involved a young Marine back from Afghanistan. The second involved a story that cast doubts on Murtha's military record. During a Town Hall meeting earlier this week Democrat Congressmen John Murtha (PA) and Jim Moran (VA) touted their call for a withdrawal from Iraq, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Moran and Murtha continued the anti-war diatribes which included their relating talks they've...
