So after months and months of campaigning on fiscal responsiblity and transparency the Senate Democrats made themselves out to be complete hypocrates this week. After the House passed a strong and sweeping bill that would give the American people disclosure to Congressional earmarks, the Democratic Leadership in the Senate was apparently against allowing us all to see how much of our money they waste on pork barrel spending in the name of their own reelection aspirations. When Republican Senator Jim DeMint offered an amendment to toughen the much weaker Senate bill and match it to the full strength of the passed House bill Reid and Durbin had a fit and tried to squash the amendment my tabling it. Much to their surprise, their effort embarrassingly failed. This is but a piece of the article. There is much more to read in the link.

Someone should ask Reid why he was lying to the American people for the past year as he and his party were out trumpeting fiscal reform and transparency. We should also be asking why Reid, Durbin, and the majority of Senate Democrats are against the American people being allowed to know where our tax dollars are going?
Fortunately or unfortunately (depending upon your outlook) Senators are a bunch of people of varying political outlooks which are NOT really separated by the terms Democrat and Republican But rather by varying degrees between Conservative and Liberal. The D and R catogories are passe' and should be disregarded. This is evidence of that fact. I think that is Good.
