What's the fun of being a public official if you don't have little secrets?

Do you think, if their spending habits were known it would cost them votes. None of them will get my vote because of this and many other reasons. A quote from a letter Nelson wrote Apr. 25, 2008. "It is imperative that Congress restore integrity and ensure transparency in our government." I'm sure he meant with the exception of earmarks.

They refused to disclose lists of the projects for which they sought taxpayer dollars? How dare they? These buffoons really need to go. I heard about a lot of things on that list nationwide and it was millions and millions of worthless wasted taxpayer dollars. One was to store skulls of whales somewhere in Alabama. What a joke. Hey Mel? I want a million to do a study on why a frog bumps his arse every time he hops. Cover me big daddy.
