First, before I go any further, let me say that Congress, no matter which party is in control, has a tendency to reward those who help their members get elected. Especially those who contribute to a campaign.
Now, with that said, I do not find it surprising at all to discover that John Murtha, Mr. Abscam, rewards a certain campaign contributor who donated only $7,000 since April 2002…with a $1,000,000 earmark for whatever special project he wishes! For a Congress which spends almost 3 trillion dollars, a million bucks ain’t even a drop in the bucket to these folks. And that’s one heck of a rate of return for such a paltry campaign contribution to boot.
