Is my congressman dirty?
February 12th, 2009 by Republican By DefaultIt seems that Norm Dicks has received $59,500 in campaign contributions from a defense lobbyist group that, in turn, received about $100 million in defense contracts for it’s clients
In case you hadn’t guessed already, I didn’t vote for him. It does remind me of one of the funniest campaign stickers I’ve ever seen. Someone tore off the ‘rm’ from one of his stickers and slapped it on the sidewalk at the Freedom Fair.
Since Dicks is a Democrat there will likely be nothing that becomes of this fact. However, if he were a Republican you can bet he’d be investigated by every government agency with even the remotest interest in such things.
It’s kind of like Barry signing an executive order restricting the hiring of lobbyists, then turning around and filing for numerous exceptions to his own rules. I’m guessing you didn’t hear much about it. The media like to keep the facts about Barry quiet, just like they do for any other Democrat. Republicans, of course, receive no such special treatment in the media.

Another point to note about this story is that the congressman at the center of this investigation is none other than ABSCAM-bribe-recipient-caught-on-tape John Murtha. Has anyone heard if he’s going to be prosecuted for accepting that bribe? Oh, wait. My mistake. He’s a Democrat.
So where are all of the people who screamed about Dick Cheney and his former ties to a defense contractor. All I hear are crickets chirping from that gallery. No surprise there either.
