Reid Won’t Back Ban on Earmarks House Democrats, GOP Eye Moratorium By John Stanton Roll Call Staff March 10, 2008

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will not back a moratorium on Congressional earmarks despite growing interest among House and Senate Republicans — as well as the House Democratic leadership — in a one-year freeze on the practice, aides said last week.

Lets see whats in Rieds closet! Then and only then will we be able to understand his unsupportive, uncooperative stand. When these morons refuse to back anything that goes against thier ideology the are viewed as fighters for the cause of the people, when a repub does the same he is against the poor, elderly and minorities, a non partisan player, and disruptionist.

Of course Dingy won’t back a ban on earmarks — he’s a Democrat. Neither will my Liberal Congressman Dave (Don’t Get Me Mad!) Obey.

Same old, same old. Republicans weren’t interested in a ban when they held power.

How many Congress-critters get re-elected from their districts/states if they don’t “bring home the bacon”?
