I love it when liberals tell us exactly who they are.
Moran: Democratic Majority Means More Money for 8th District
by SCOTT McCAFFREY, Staff Writer
(Created: Saturday, June 10, 2006 11:10 AM EDT)
If Democrats win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November, U.S. Rep. Jim Moran said he would use his position in the majority to help funnel more funds to his Northern Virginia district.
Moran, D-8th, told those attending the Arlington County Democratic Committee's annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner on June 9 that while he in theory might oppose the fiscal irresponsibility of “earmarks” - funneling money to projects in a member of Congress's district - he understands the value they have to constituents.
“When I become chairman [of a House appropriations subcommittee], I'm going to earmark the sh*t out of it,” Moran buoyantly told a crowd of 450 attending the event.
Colorful language and campaign hyperbole aside, Moran has a lot to gain if Democrats topple the GOP's 12-year control of the House. His relative seniority of eight terms would make him a powerful member of any Democratic majority.
Moran first must win re-election, but the 8th District is considered the most securely Democratic in Virginia. It includes Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church and parts of eastern and northern Fairfax County.
Moran and his two Republican Northern Virginia counterparts - U.S. Reps. Frank Wolf, R-10th, and Tom Davis, R-11th - essentially mapped out their own redistricting plan after the 1990 federal census, and handed it to the General Assembly for action. The plan lumped Republicans in the districts of Wolf and Davis, giving Moran's district as many Democrats as the trio could find.
