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..

Let 'em talk

Then let's see if they do anything to cut off money to Washington. Most of the American people aren't quite as stupid as the Pols think we are.

Did Obama just say "head of the WH security ofice arrested?" That was Craig Livingston's job, IIRC..

You are SO right about the unions...

I saw one of their conventions last year...and one of the speakers put the UNIONS on the top of the list of "important groups" to the dems...after that was the minority groups...

I want MOVEON.ORG...and George Soros, Planned Parenthood, AARP, ALL of them to be told they cannot lobby or give money to democrats...

He is being way too smarmy for a snot nosed kid!

He said that those on the other side of the aisle have suddenly "gotten" religion about reform (and they all laughed).

Ah, can somebody point me to the plan they had BEFORE TODAY?

Listen to him; he's cutting their own throats; not meet with lobbyists? Do you believe they won't?

Cut off ALL trips and dinners? Fine by me.

It was last year...there was a report of some kind of bribery scandal in Chicago involving a trash company or something...and some how there were "connections" to Emmanuel...

I will have to see if I can find a thread...

Ah, Louise Slaughter says "We all know about the man who left the White House in handcuffs."

Who was that?

I guess she's talking about Bobby Baker, eh?
