House dems fear of exposure?

A few weeks ago, House Republicans announced the establishment of a new website: earmarkreform.house.gov, to promote their idea of a moratorium on new pork-barrel projects. Now that the effort has attracted some attention and put Democrats in a difficult position politically, they have told House Republicans that the site must be transferred to some generic URL -- due to an obscure rule that was previously unknown and unenforced.

But if the House does not allow domain names that can be considered 'slogans,' then why is 'globalwarming.house.gov' permitted? That's a Democratic site set up to promote the Democratic leadership's 'select committee' on global warming. Democrats won't allow the creation of a 'select committee' on earmark reform, because they don't want to deal with the issue.
