What a hilarious headline! You should write comedy scripts.
all the credit goes to
AP and Yahoo

Democrats want sweeping House ethics investigation
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1553678/posts
but Thanks!
ROTFL!!! Just when I think there are no more good lines!
Number of RAT senators voting to remove the most corrupt president in American history: 0 out of 44
Number of Republican senators voting to remove the most corrupt president in American history: 50 out of 55
To some it up: % of RAT senators with integrity 0.0%
% of Republican senators with integrity 90.9%.
I'd wish that President Bush would unleash one item after another on his agenda in rapid fire succession. from here on out to his final day in office. That'll keep the Democrats heads swimming for the next few years.

By NILES LATHEM, STEVE DUNLEAVY, EDMUND NEWTON, and ANDY GELLER July 13, 2001 ......She got Bob Packwood, R-CA, thrown out of the U.S. House of Representatives because he clumsily tried to only kiss some of his aids. Barbara Boxer used this to get herself elected to the U.S. Senate as one of the Senators from California. Note also about Boxer: she was the highest overdrawn spender in the House Banking scandal during George Bush, Sr.'s presidency. She wrote over 400 checks that would have bounced except for the slush fund the Democraps secretly used to cover their excesses. If you had done that you'd be put in jail. But that was covered up by the left wing media too.
Most voters won't give a rip anyway, because they expect the Congress to be corrupt to begin with.
It might help their cause if they trotted out some bozo everyone's heard of before. First that old clown Murtha, now this Slaughter dingbat.
The way the dems and MSM is spinning the fact that there is as long of a list of dems and Reps on Abramoff's list is...
That since the GOP is the Majority party...they are responsible..and since Abramoff is CONSIDERED a Republican lobbyist..then the DEMS are not reponsible..AT ALL.
There aren't;Patches snorted them all.
"Democrats accused Republican congressional leaders of corrupting the government..."
Unfortunately, the headline should've read:
"Democrats accused Republican congressional leaders of corrupting the government..... And the Republicans sit back, and take it..."
I totally agree with you that the true "corrupt Republicans" do the right thing and resign, but so do the Republicans that ARE NOT corrupt, but sadly also, ARE NOT backed by fellow Republicans with balls!!! And THAT, is what I am so tired of seeing... Tom Delay being the latest victim of this...
Newsflash! It seems they've yet to realize "Oh, we really have the majority?" They're acting more like "Really?? You mean, in the House, the Senate AND The White House??? Gee Wiz!"
Unfortunately, it'll just keep getting worse until the good guys stop grabbing their ankles... Hey Fellas! Next, they'll take away the lube... Start fighting back!
Totally agree with that!
I think Mark Twain had something to say about congressman and other Politicians,....so this corruption thing is hardly new!
"I think Mark Twain had something to say about congressman and other Politicians..."
Wasn't he also the one who perfectly coined the phrase "Common sense, it ain't so common..." : )
Who's gonna dispute them?
The media? No.
The RINO's? No.
The Republican Party? I'll believe it when I see it.
Yeah, it's funny hearing this from Pelosi. Everyone here knows the truth.
Except the GOP just gave them Delay's head.
People can laugh but silence killed the President on the war. Reaching out to the Dems killed him. Fighting back brought HIM back.
House Reps gave them Delay's head. It emboldened the Dems and gave the public that isn't as plugged in a sense there may have been something to the charges of a "culture of corruption" if the GOP was so eager to toss their "Hammer".
By default the GOP has copped to the charge of corruption. Given this is the path they chose for themselves, they have only one road. To impress on the public, yeah, some of us are/were corrupt. We're weeding them out, punishing them hard and making it harder to fall into that trap again.
Not the first choice I would have made, but then I'm not a spineless white flag Republican that recoils in standing up against the propaganda of the Left.
THE CLINTON CRIME LIST
(258 crimes - so far) (Only 37 of them are for SEX)
Slaughter must be the one with the least amount of corruption to be speaking out against corruption.
How do they do it with a straight face?
Projection, thy name is DemonRAT.
