Relishing the prospects of a triumph, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday promised to restore integrity and civility to the House if voters put her party in control this fall.
"We'll turn the most closed and corrupt Congress into the most open and honest Congress," Pelosi, D-Calif., told The Associated Press in an interview.
She spoke five weeks before the midterm elections as the House ethics committee opened an investigation into an unfolding sex scandal that led to Rep. Mark Foley's resignation and calls for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., to step down.
"The only way you can make the change that needs to be made for our country — a new direction where we're there for the many and not the few — is to drain the swamp," said Pelosi, who is in line to be the nation's first female House speaker if Democrats ascend to power.
With Nov. 7 looming, an AP-Ipsos poll released Thursday found the majority of likely voters favoring Democrats to win control of the House and half of likely voters saying recent disclosures of corruption and scandal in Congress will be very or extremely important when they cast their vote.
Republicans are scrambling to try to stop the political bleeding that began last week when Foley resigned amid reports that he sent sexually explicit communications to teenage boys who once worked as House pages. That set off finger-pointing among House Republican leaders who were accused of failing to react quickly when they were warned of Foley's behavior.

So she's saying, if elected, they are going to totally change who they are?

The most closed and corrupt Congress was the one we wrested control from in 1994. We haven't had a Speaker of the House nailed for a union bribery scam. That was the Dems. We didn't have a Ways and Means Chair put in prison for corruption. That was the Dems. We didn't have a congressman in Congress for 15 years after taking a 17 year old page to Portugal, getting him drunk and then sodomizing him, giving said pervert a standing ovation on the floor of the House afterwards. That was the Dems. God these Dims. are such evil hypocrites. If the American voter fall for the double-speak and Orwellian b.s. of these DemoCrites, then they deserve the trashing of America which will result from putting evil left wing extremists in charge of Congress.
a new direction where we're there for the many and not the few — is to drain the swamp
we WANT to, but I fear Dems will win some elections..:(
Indeed. Juicy hypocrisy like this is just as good as epicac to induce vomiting.
Sounds like a suicide note. Down go the Dems...
Shades of Bubba Clinton--where have we heard this before. The most open and honest Congress. By gawd thats the funniest thing I have heard come out of Bubble Eyes mouth in days.
I bet she wont be so frickin civil when Steny Hoyer throws her frog eyed butt out of the Speakers office and moves in himself. I bet that will make her leave skid marks in her skivvies.
I can tell you recent news of Foley being a fruit wont make me vote to cut and run from Iraq. To Impeach Bush. To start Universal health, to raise my taxes, or to have democrats in charge.
Whats one queer more or less when the future of the country says you MUST vote Republican to save the Republic.
"We'll turn the most closed and corrupt Congress into the most open and honest Congress,"
Didn't the Contract With America address a similar claim?
Does that poor old hag really think that if the dems manage to win, things will magically become civil? She's dreaming, what goes round comes round. Hillary needs to understand that too, what hey have done to Dubya and the republicans is going to come back to haunt them IN SPADES someday.
Integrity and civility from the same woman who voted five times to appoint known pedophile Gary Studds to a committe head position?
Consider it a test of your gorge control.
IF they ever win again, will they have had the necessary time to learn any of those traits?

Integrity.
SNORT.
I'm confused. Every week there's another democrat in trouble for graft, corruption or theft. William Jefferson Democrat Loisiana, Sandy Burgler, and a dozen others. Then, of course we have the Impeached One who is also a theif.
One hell of a legacy for a man whou said his administration would be one of integrity and honesty.
Two years of Pelosi would give Republicans the Presidency, Congress and the Senate in 08.
She likes that too. Along with her girlfriends Janet and The Beast.
I'm less concerned about the House than the Senate. If there are any more Supreme Court vacancies, we'll at least need a majority.
another cunning stunt.
