Dianne Feinstein is a Big Fat Pig: Congressional Pork-barrel Spending/ Earmarks are Out of Control under Nancy Pelosi
While the Democrats promised to clean up Congress, Nancy Pelosi and her ilk are letting the American people down miserably. Still, the MSM refuses to inform the public how corrupt the Democrats are. Instead, they would rather focus on a bathroom incident as the Democrats destroy our treasury worse than the Republicans ever did.

If we review the numbers, the amount of pork-barrel spending and earmarks are out of control. Not only does Dianne Feinstein funnel money to her husband’s business with Iraq War funds, she spends more of our money than any other Congressman. Senator Dianne Feinstein raked in $382.3 Million, Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., ate away at $186 Million, Barbara Boxer tore her “fair share” of $152.5 Million, Nancy Pelosi used her good ethics to spend $141.3 Million, Rep. David Obey, D-Wis. rang up $96 Million, and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., brought in $85.5 Million. Well, at least Nancy Pelosi allowed a bunch of children to sit on her lap in front of Congress.

With this blatant corruption and spending, it has gotten to the point where the MSM is openly trying to elect Democrats into office. There are too many worthy stories that are ignored for this to be a coincidence. Honestly, how is it possible that we have Democratic Party Congressmen who funnel money to their husbands, stash thousands of dollars in their freezers, get caught on tape considering bribes, become involved in shady land deals, waste tax dollars to pay lucrative salaries to their entire family, and nobody hears anything about it? The answer is very simple: The liberal media has made a conscious decision to sacrifice their ratings in order to win seats in the 2008 election. There is simply no other explanation for this nonsense. Our greatest hope, however, is that enough informed Americans learn about these facts before it is time to vote. It appears that Countdown with Keith Olbermann will not be enlightening us with these pertinent facts anytime soon.
