Whwereas Pelosi, as well as many other representatives in both parties probably have their hands in ti cookie jar, the reason that the Dems aren't happy with the rule change is that it does very much allow a party to protect one of it's own should they desire to do so.
And this is wrong... Why shouldn't every crook in congress be accountable? Now I understand that you don't want congess turmned into a witchhunt battleground but the Republican rule change went way too far. Why have an wthics committe if it is 100% toothless?

Now as fir crooks? DeLay has a lot of real serious evidence mounting against him. Just proclaiming his innocence doesn't mean he didn't do a lot of the dumbass things he has been accused of...

and Bobert...don't forget....if he did do them (which I haven't made up my mind yet on whether he did or not) it's been shown that the other side has evidence on them of doing the dame things. It seems as if it's a witch hunt on both sides.

Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out.

Well, not quite that bad, but really, it doesn't matter WHICH party it is -- if you're guilty, you're guilty. The only question is degree of guilt.

You can't be a little bit guilty any more than you can be a little bit pregnant -- it's only a matter of how far along you are.

It's just my opinion, but having an "Ethics Committee" made up of those whose ethics are being judged is kinda like putting a drunk in charge of the liquor cabinet.

Surely you can't question what DeLay did in Gerrymandering the districts to eliminate democrat votes?

No nore or less than the Dems do when they get the chance... Do you really think there is a difference between the people in the two parties? Both have a a main goal to stay in office. ANy help they give to constituents are for that, or by accident.

I can't help but admire the new political form of defence:

Well, we're almost as bad as they are.

I fail to understand why anyone finds excuses for thieves. Washington, Ottawa, London--there could be a looooong list here--are so damned filled with graft and corruption that Rapaire's remark is a good one, even if only in one's dreams. There are more crooked bastards in politics than any other occupation, and until there is a very thorough house cleaning it will continue. This filth continues to profit from their theft. I too would like to swipe a few millions, pay some lawyers half to keep the trial going until I am dead. Or simply invest the cash in some scheme where it's easy to hide (launder) money and live off some consulting fees. Yep. The future would look real rosy.

And another way to look at it: How long can taxpayers afford this crap? I could give a rat's ass wht Ottawa's politicos can afford. It ain't their money--other than what they contribute as individuals towards taxes.

Overcoming Liberalism: A 12-Step Program
Written by Jeremy Robb
Monday, January 06, 2003


       Several months ago, I heard radio host Michael Savage refer to liberalism as a "mental disorder." As odd as this concept might seem, I think I actually agree with him. I've seen liberalism turn some of the most intelligent people I know into propaganda-spewing robots who care only about the message, not the inaccuracies behind the message. Emotion always trumps logic for them, regardless of the blatantly obvious.



       Given the difficulty in bringing liberals into the light, I thought it might be helpful to provide them with a 12-step program that could make it easier for a successful transition into reality. As conservatives, we have to remember that we can only be supportive to liberals in this program. They cannot do it alone, but we also cannot do it for them.



The Program:

Fine, hubby, if Nancy Pelosi is a crook then put her out... Hey, why wven call it an ethics committe if it it is toothless and can't get the crooks out?

Now, just so that the ethics comitteee doesn't become a witch-hunt fishing expidition I wouold like to see and independent counsel make the call on who get's the heat...

Oh, you say that that independent counsel would be political? Yeah, it could unless it was a body comprised of members appointed on a 50/50 basis by each party....

Think about that one...

(Heck, Bobert, just 'cause you're always attacking Bush folks thing yer a Dem...)

NOT!

Green, thru and thru... thank you... Yeah, if Nancy Pelosi is on the take then get her the heck out...

Out all the crooks...

Including George "Crook" Bush!!! The biggest crook of them all!!!
