Is Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) trying to regain the moral high ground by banning earmarks?

http://www.rollcall.com/issues/55_99/news/43906-1....

As they try to reclaim the ethical high ground during a difficult stretch, House Democratic leaders are considering a dramatic move: declaring a party-wide ban on earmarks this year.

The idea, floated by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a leadership huddle Tuesday, is for House Democrats to outflank their Republican counterparts, who have mulled and rejected such a moratorium in recent years.

    This is merely another example of blowing smoke up America's azz. The Democrats are using stimulus funds for their pork projects and voter fraud projects.

    They are all career politicians, both sides, the only movement we are going to get out of them is their lips moving and their hands reaching into our pockets.
