Real Reform under the Democrat Congress?

Don't make me laugh......

Bob Novak has details.

Some choice excerpts:

" In fact, Democrats will not go anywhere near real lobbying reform, which would have to include bans on lobbying firms' hiring spouses of congressmen and senators -- a common practice that legally lets special interests put millions of dollars into members' bank accounts when their interests are pending before Congress."

"Democrats' promise to implement all of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations has already fallen by the wayside as they admit basically what the Republicans already knew: They're not all practical. This sounded good enough that it did help during the campaign, though."

(Regarding minimum wage legislation)"This is a no-brainer for Democrats in more than one way. It is a populist provision that makes people feel good, even if it has little or no beneficial effect."

They're ALL no brainers for the Dems.....that's their standard operational procedure.
