Anti-pork fervor soon fades in D.C.

When he took office a little less than two years ago, U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen was all about reforming the way Washington operates.
"The first thing we did was change the rules to end runaway deficit spending," Kagen said in a Jan. 30, 2007, press release. "Now, we'll freeze federal spending at last year's level, and eliminate earmarks in the federal budget."
But something changed.
Now Kagen is a big fan of earmarks.
He had three in the recently passed defense-spending bill, including $800,000 for Utility Tool and Trailer in Clintonville for aluminum military trailers.
Not surprisingly, two executives with Utility Tool gave the first-term Democratic congressman $4,600 earlier this year, and the pair then chipped in a similar amount in September while the measure was pending.

Ummm...this is not really hard:
1. Dems say whatever it takes to get into office
2. they have to shift to the Right to pretend they are not liberals, because in a vast majority of the country a liberal would never get elected if they were honest on their positions.
It's happening all over the country right this very second.
