Promise broken after only three days

Only three days after the Democrats gained a majority in the House and Senate, they welcomed lobbyists right back with open arms.

The House passed new rules, but it was only a formality because campaign fundraising hasn't changed.

Hours after changing House rules to reduce favors from lobbyists, it was back to business as usual in Washington.

Democrats threw a $1,000-a-person fundraising concert in Washington Thursday night, with Hollywood celebrities, big donors and those lobbyists writing checks to re-elect Democrats.

The Republicans did the same thing 12 years ago but the Democrats pledged to be different. A pledge that only lasted three days.

So much for congressional lobby reform.
