Democrats accused Republican congressional leaders of corrupting the government, claiming on Saturday that their party has higher ethical standards.

Yes, on Saturday. On Sunday-Friday, it's a completely different story.

The 10-term congresswoman said her party will "uphold the highest standards of integrity."

Just like they did under the Clinton administration.

This woman has a career in acting ahead of her if she can keep a straight face while saying that.

Was this before or after they called the troops terrorists, Iraq unwinnable, and celebrated killing the USA PATRIOT act.

I am dusgusted with corrupt republicans. They should be banished from the party!

That does not mean that the dems are not also corrupt. But there is no excuse for the GOP. This is a terrible thing.

The question is, will the GOP laugh this off or will they take effective measures to counter attack? I heard a discussion on NPR about the Abramoff scandal and only two culprits were mentioned during the whole 10 minutes, they were both Republicans, Delay being one. How does a public tax funded radio program get by with this crap without the GOP demanding equal time? We could sure use Haley Barbour back in charge of the party.

Their strategy is clear. They have been for the past few months painting with every carefully chosen word and taken to the airwaves their "master stroke" of creating the perception that the republicans and conservative are morally and financially corrupt and must be stopped.

Even though we know that what they are saying is mostly false, they are spinning every event and carefully crafting the appropriate leaks knowing the MSM will do the rest of the terrible deed and pick up the ball and run with it!

As the old saying goes: "Perception IS reality!" They know that all they have to do is create the perception and that perception will become the reality in the eyes of the politically uneducated public, especially in this new "dumbed down" society that they have created and that we have allowed.

The majority of american people have shown that they are not stock on stupid and see beyond the games the dems play, the last 2 elections show that, but for the dems to even attempt to claim the high ground is a real laugher.

Let the lefties and their biased media , govt propped up or not, wail and moan, in the end , the last laugh will be on and at them.

GOPer have jobs and vocations to go home to, dems only have Cuba and welfare lines.

The difference is that Republicans who become corrupted do the right thing and resign.

Democrats rise in power and prestige in their party.

The corrupted Republicans will be gone. The Rats will stay as they are.......in positions of leadership, like Pelosi, Kennedy, Byrd, Kerry, Reid, et al....

If you do not work to win the non-safe seats in the House later this year by volunteering and sending money to the GOP, these people will be in control and they will fill the TV all next year with impeachment hearings.

Your choice.

To paraphrase an old warrior,

"Old democrats never die, they just fade away."

Although not nearly soon enough for me.

"Democrats accused Republican congressional leaders of corrupting the government, claiming on Saturday that their party has higher ethical standards."

A shinning example would be the Clinton Administration.

Consult the above for the list of Democrats and Democrat Election groups who got Abrahamoff money. This is the firepit calling the kettle black.
