Poor Denny. Trotting out that tired, and debunked, lie about 16,000 new IRS agents.  http://www.factcheck.org/2010/03/irs-expansion/

The empty suit still rides high in the saddle.  That is, when he’s not drunk and falling out it.

Rep. Rehberg had uncountable opp. to stop earmarks, restore liberty, and respect the Constitution.-it’s pathetic that he is only now showing the proper behavior of a statesman who defends or freedom.

Denny Rehberg regards himself as a “moderate?”  Now that is truly laughable.

If Denny Rehberg is NOT a moderate - he is at home on the left/big government side.

Beacon staff:

Maybe you should call Denny back for another cup of coffee.

Rehberg has sat on the Appropriations committee for some time now.

“When Congress sets the budgets for all the federal agencies every summer, there is no committee busier or more lobbied than House Appropriations. The committee does not just provide funding for lucrative government contracts, but is also famous for inserting last-minute industry-backed provisions riders **blocking regulatory actions** interest groups oppose.”

Since the committee deals with funding for agencies that regulate a variety of interests, members attract donations from a variety of interests including health professionals, defense contractors, and oil and gas companies.

Including:

2007-2008:

*  Subcommittee on House Committee on **Financial Services and General Government.**
 
*  Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services.
