NANCY'S DIRTY HOUSE
RED STATE ^
Posted on 01/22/2007 4:36:30 PM PST by Weight of Glory
House Democrats, in a brazen attempt to defend the Culture of Corruption, are set to alter House Ethics Rules in a way openly supportive of Democrats who might be found guilty by courts of law of corruption or bribery related to the passage of legislation.
Under present rules, if a Member of Congress is found guilty of a crime related to the passage of legislation, the member would have his pension cut off dated from the date of the legislation's passage -- even if it took a few years to find him guilty.
The Democrats, via H. R. 476, the Member Pension Bill, which they intend to push through tonight, will seek to change this. Under their proposal, if a bill is signed by President Bush, and then a Member of Congress is found guilt of a crime related to the passage of legislation between the President's signature and January 2, 2009, the member would receive their FULL Congressional pension.

Are you effin kidding me? I know Dems are corrupt and hypocritical, but this actually surprises me.
Just when you think they can't sink any lower, they break out the backhoe and start digging, unbelievable!

Everyone should read "Donkey Cons". Then they will get the entire history of this dirty party. Republicans have some skeletons, but they don't have a closet full, because when they find one amongst them they deal with them. The Dems applaud the dirty one. They don't remove them, and in many instances appoint them to committees. They keep reinventing "lowest".

Hillary can't have FBI files on ALL of them, can she?

It's no wonder so many people stay home and don't vote.
