Jim Moran: Not My Kind of Democrat
What is up with Jim Moran?

He gave the Arlington Sun Gazzette a peek into how he would run a House Appropriations Subcommittee if the Democrats re-take the house this year.

He said "When I become chairman , I'm going to earmark the shit out of it."

Memo to Jim: We have a name for that. It's called pork.

And if the Democrats want to demonstrate that they are the truly fiscal responsible party, these comments certainly don't help.

2. Pandering to his constituents in his district
They'll have a reason to vote for him if they think it means more money for their highways, etc.

4. I like Jim Moran but sometimes he says some stupid shit...
He still wins my support for getting into a fistfight with Duke Cunningham.
