  • Bill Moyers: Reid hiding earmark trail. Business as usual.

    Harry Reid made a big deal about cleaning up government with regard to corporate influence over the Congress. Bill Moyers' Journal exposes the fraud. Thanks Bill!

    Here is the LINK.

    Basically Reid changed the language of the ethics reform bill so that legislators would not need to disclose the recipients of earmarks. This makes it nearly impossible to compare earmark recipients to campaign donation lists.
    SYLVIA CHASE: Behind the scenes as the final language to the Ethics Bill was being hammered out, a mysterious new provision was slipped in.

    There is it — paragraph 6, subparagraph A 5. Senators would submit letters to committee chairpersons containing all the earmark information. But they would tell the public only that they have no pecuniary — meaning financial — conflict in the projects they were sponsoring.

    STEVE ELLIS: They essentially said that the public can only get this last little thing which says I'm not a crook.

    SYLVIA CHASE: As for who's actually getting the earmark money, that remains a Senate secret.
    Jim Demint, the South Carolina Republican, is the champion of this story, and deserves plaudits all around. Reid is the 'business as usual' jackass of the story. John Murtha is exposed as an earmark pig as well.

    Thanks liberal media! Great story.

    Another media hackjob against a Mormon. When will it ever end?
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
