The Republicans have no guts, they are all peas in a pod, protecting each others arses. But I feel it would be different if a Republican said the same thing because the dems would be calling for his head, the presstitutes would be all over him and even Republicans would be clamouring for him to resign.
It is even worse here in Tennessee. The system allows state legislators to sell their votes by "consulting" with firms doing business with the state, sometimes receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars for their "services". A few weeks ago four legislators (3-D's and 1-RINO) were arrested for taking bribes from federal agents posing as businessmen seeking to buy legislation that favor them. Neither the 'Rats nor the GOP see any reason to hurry and get REAL ethics reform passed.
Probably because both sides like it the way it is.
