Move-On.org and the rest of the Anti-American Looney-Left proudly proclaimed ownership of the 2006 mid-term elections which put an inept Democrat Party in the majority of the most inept organization in the world: the United States Congress. As a result they have put the national security of the United States at risk, however, I suspect they are now having ‘buyer’s remorse.’
To be fair, there are probably some good Democrats somewhere out there, 
but they are completely obscured by what can only be laughingly referred to as “Leadership” in the pathetic persons of Nancy Pelosi (D-Speaker of the House) and Harry Reid (D-Senate Majority Leader).
Pelosi flounced into her position, with a whinnying Reid, who looks in need of a dose of prunes, in tow with all the pomp and flourish of pretend royalty. She/He proclaimed the elections as a mandate for ending "George Bush's war" in Iraq and draining the swamp of corruption in Congress. That had to be your first clue of just how incompetent a pair this was going to be.
The election was never a mandate to surrender in the war in Iraq, although it was a sign of frustration on how it was being prosecuted. In spite of polls taken ad-nauseam showing the American people more perceptive on the need to prevail in Iraq than are Democrats, Peolsi-Reid continue to trot out their delusional calls for immediate withdrawal. They have tried, unsuccessfully, 41 times to force our surrender through wasteful and useless legislative shenanigans for one purpose and one purpose only: to appease a rabid mouth-foaming Leftist base that has hijacked a once respectable political party.
As far as ending corruption in Congress? Do the names Jack Murtha (d-PA) and William Jefferson (d-LA). Ring a bell?
In 1980, during his third term as a Congressman, Murtha became embroiled in the Abscam investigation, which targeted dozens of congressmen. The investigation entailed FBI operatives posing as intermediaries for Saudi nationals hoping to bribe their way through the immigration process into the United States. Murtha met with these operatives and was videotaped; ultimately, he was named an "unindicted co-conspirator" but he was never indicted or charged. He did agree to testify against Frank Thompson (D-NJ) and John Murphy (D-NY), the two Congressmen mentioned as participants in the deal at the same meeting and who were later video taped placing the cash bribes in their trousers. (I guess there really is no honor among thieves!)
The FBI videotaped Murtha responding to an offer of $50,000, with Murtha saying, "I'm not interested... at this point. [If] we do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested, maybe I won't", right after Murtha had offered to provide names of businesses and banks in his district where money could be invested legally. The U.S. Attorneys Office reasoned that Murtha's intent was to obtain investment in his district.
Murtha is now the Chairman of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee. Talk about putting the fox in the hen-house!
As for Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat: Jefferson was videotaped accepting $100,000
in $100 bills from a Northern Virginia investor who was wearing an FBI wire, according to a search warrant affidavit. A few days later, on Aug. 3, 2005, FBI agents raided Jefferson's home in Northeast Washington and found $90,000 of the cash in the freezer, in $10,000 increments wrapped in aluminum foil and stuffed inside frozen-food containers. The money was said to have been "fresh and still crisp" due to the containers. He is currently the subject of a corruption probe, and in May 2006 his Congressional offices were raided.
Despite his legal woes, in the midterm election on November 7, 2006, Jefferson received 30% of the vote against several opponents, and then proceeded to win in a runoff election against Louisiana State Representative Karen Carter on December 9, 2006.
On June 4, 2007, a federal grand jury indicted Jefferson on 16 charges related to corruption; if convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
He, of course, is still a member of the Democrat Congress.
The dirty little secret that Move-on.kook / Looney-Left are now realizing is that the politicians they bought and paid for have no intention ending the war. A year after regaining control of the Senate and the House by railing against “George Bush’s war” in Iraq, the Democrats show no sign of changing the war machine. Four of the top five senators who earmarked money in their states for defense contracts were not Republican hawks, but liberal and centrist Democrats – Carl Levin of Michigan, the Hildabeast Clinton reportedly of New York, Charles (Smarmy) Schumer of New York, and Jack Reed of Rhode Island.
The New York Times recently reported that members of the House earmarked an extra $1.8 billion to the military budget for projects the Pentagon did not request. This is despite cutting earmarks by half. The top earmarker at $166 million was the chairman of the Defense Appropriations Committee, John Murtha of Pennsylvania. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California asked for $32 million and majority leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland request $26 million.
The same party that complains about Bush's no-bid contracts for Halliburton in Iraq is willing to maintain this system of funding local companies and programs that also face no competitive bidding.
The Seattle Times detailed last month how Senator Patty Murray and Representatives Norm Dicks and Brian Baird, all Democrats, earmarked $17.65 million to a boat company for a vessel the Navy did not ask for and never used. Murray also earmarked $6 million to a company for battle gear the Army rejected. Representative David Wu, an Oregon Democrat, earmarked $2 million for combat T-shirts that were banned because their polyester was flammable.
