Moran: Democratic Majority Means More Money for 8th District


This single link does more to accurately describe
the Liberal Democratic party than just about anything
any Republican could ever say. Just run ads with
nothing but this guy talking and we'll win 20 more
seats in the House...

If Democrats win back control of the U.S. House of
Representatives in November, U.S. Rep. Jim Moran
said he would use his position in the majority to
help funnel more funds to his Northern Virginia district.

Moran, D-8th, told those attending the Arlington
County Democratic Committee's annual Jefferson-Jackson
Day dinner on June 9 that while he in theory might
oppose the fiscal irresponsibility of "earmarks" -
funneling money to projects in a member of Congress's
district - he understands the value they have to
constituents.

When I become chairman [of a House appropriations
subcommittee], I'm going to earmark the shit out
of it," Moran buoyantly told a crowd of 450
attending the event.
