Hoyer wanted to start a Democratic version of Delay's "K Street Project?" WTF?!

[Clarkie1]

both men (Murtha, Hoyer) admittedly have liabilities that put them at odds with the new "clean up Washington" mandate. Hoyer, for instance, spent the last many years bragging to reporters about his efforts to establish a Democratic version of indicted-Rep. Tom DeLay's K Street Project--the operation that trades legislative favors for money from corporate lobbyists. He famously trumpeted an article about his K Street Project on his official congressional Web site at the very same time Democrats were campaigning against Republicans' "culture of corruption."

Here's a suggestion, Democratic leaders, nominate Jerry McNerney for majority leader. He defeated the "ethically challenged" Richard Pombo and has NO experience with ethically challenged politics.

I think I need a break from all disappointed for a couple of months, but I will leave you with this DU:

THE DEMOCRATS DID NOT WIN, THE REPUBLICANS LOST. FORGET THAT AT OUR OWN PERIL.

Democrats will have only truly "won" if win win the hearts and mind of the American people over the next two years. We haven't won yet, not really.

I'll see all you good people in the new year....

1. Well, now we know why Hoyer is the worst possible choice.

He wants to be our Tom DeLay. He can go to Hell.

7. I Could Not Agree More

All the Dems did for the last six years is work with them.

"**THE DEMOCRATS DID NOT WIN, THE REPUBLICANS LOST. FORGET THAT AT OUR OWN PERIL.**

4. Nice way to push a right-wing talking point

"THE DEMOCRATS DID NOT WIN, THE REPUBLICANS LOST"

You may think that's the way it is, but most people know better.

5. So why wouldn't we want to compete with Republicans on K Street?

Seriously, I don't understand why we wouldn't try to compete.
