LIVE THREAD: Pelosi & Reid presser on lobbying reform - C-span 1; 2:00Pm EST ( will Nancy blink?)
one man's opinion.......

Posted on 01/18/2006 10:49:49 AM PST by ken5050

Dem leaders Reid & Pelosi will hold a joint presser on the Hill to announce their plans to reform Congressional practices and to try and tie the Abramoff scandal to the GOP. Yesterday Hastert and Drier got out in front of this story, announcing GOP plans in this regard. What will the Dems say...If you're housebound because of the rotten weather, and STILL have power and cable, do tune in..

Osama Obama is the dem's great black chocolate hope.(try to keep up with the new dem-speak :>)

Obama has been tokenated by the Dems.

He is perfect looking, and speaks with nice round soft words and reacts to the Pelosi strings quite nicely.

Now they are signing a Declaration of Honesty...LOL

Pelosi whines over sour grapes

They've caught themselves in their own trap.

Of course, they don't think THEIR lobbyists are the bad ones, so it's fine!

This contract stinks more than CFR. I haven't seen it, but if it comes from the Democrats, you know there is a odorifous stench.

Ban Lobbyist Gifts and Travel. Prohibit the receipt of gifts, including gifts of meals, entertainment and travel, from lobbyists.

The Dems best not except ONE DIME .. and that includes their staff and family members

The Dems just hung themselves
