{OT} same as it ever was

Democrats continue to speak out of the side of their mouths to get
elected. They were going to clean up Washington and bring back
accountability. It looks like they are no different than anybody else.
Maybe even worse since they lied to get into power.
-----------------------------------

It was a solemn pledge, repeated by Democratic leaders and candidates
over and over: If elected to the majority in Congress, Democrats would
implement all of the recommendations of the bipartisan commission that
examined the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

But with control of Congress now secured, Democratic leaders have
decided for now against implementing the one measure that would affect
them most directly: a wholesale reorganization of Congress to improve
oversight and funding of the nation's intelligence agencies.

"Of all our recommendations, strengthening congressional oversight may
be among the most difficult and important," the panel wrote. "So long
as oversight is governed by current congressional rules and
resolutions, we believe the American people will not get the security
they want and need."

Now Democrats are balking, just as Republicans did before them.
