More news from the Democrat Drain The Swamp And Fight The Culture Of Corruption Dept. So. Washington state US Democrat senators and congressmen Patty Murry,Norm Dicks,and Brian Baird muscle in three earmarks in defense appropriations [you will recall that Murray was the one screaming loudest about the ''body armour''flap],forcing the US Navy to purchase a five million dollar speedboat that they did not want from GUARDIAN boatworks located in Edmonds,Wa. and forced another 17 million in Navy purchases from said company for more crap that they didn't need. The boat,which has been welded to its pier, sits in Puget Sound and has not moved from this location,except to run its engines once a month. Nobody wants it. After the Navy blowing over 20 million in taxpayer dough [how many new flak jackets would this buy Patty?],nothing except nearly 50 grand in campaign contributions from GUARDIAN to all three politicians has been accomplished.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;also see: www.taxpayers.net&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;www.porkbusters.com</description></item><item><title>Previewing Tuesday's MA special election</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/15/411323.aspx#412685</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Oct 2007 02:27:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:412685</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corpus christi texas</dc:creator><description>Doc in Lewisville TX:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Considering that Nancy Pelosi lied through her teeth when she said this would be the most ethical congress in history and she has quite a few people that got caught with their hand in the cookie jar (including herself), one has to wonder if voting them all out and starting fresh would be the answer.....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The only problem is Pelosi is facing Cindy Sheehan in her election and Cindy is totally loony herself.</description></item><item><title>Previewing Tuesday's MA special election</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/15/411323.aspx#413004</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:17:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:413004</guid><dc:creator>H P Boston</dc:creator><description>Brucie NV, I was only sinking to the name calling we get from you and little j all day every day. &amp;nbsp;You boys can dish it out but whine when someone else joins your game.
