It is a crime to bribe a congressman, just as it is a crime to lie to congress. Those guilty of bribing congress should be arrested and prosecuted, just like those brought before congress and accused of lying to congress. They all think they are above the law.

Boy, talk about dirty politics! He is somebody I once thought was not so radical. He was quiet when he thought it was expedient to do so. Now Obama has all the Democrats blabbering like idiots. Harkin and the other Democrats looks at our tax money like they are playing Monopoly.
