When Congressman Murtha got into a shouting match over a pet "earmark" and the Republicans challenged him, seeking to have him reprimanded by the House, Tammy Baldwin was a loyal vote to save Murtha, a Congressman with a very dubious past. (He was the one who refused a bribe from Arabs because it wasn't yet the right time -- seems he might have been holding out for more).
Now David Obey, another Wisconsin Democrat, has invented a new way to "clean up the House:" hide earmarks, so no one can see them. Instead of allowing them to be challenged on the House floor -- which is what got Murtha in trouble -- Obey wants to hide them until the bill to which the earmark is attached is in conference committee, at a point where it is way to late to make a challenge.
Why?
Because the Democrats are corrupt, and earmarks are their way of buying votes.
Where's Tammy.
Where else -- in Murtha and Obey's pocket.
So today we e-mailed her asking for her position.
We'll update every day on her response.
