So, the House Republicans support a rule change which will let them:

  • Take bribes!
  • Fix parking tickets!
  • Have sex with House pages!

    Politicians and Ethics don't blong in the same sentence, unless seperated by "have no".

    i think it is so funny that the republican posters never defned their politician's actions - they just say, 'oh, but liberals are worse/do it too/did it in the past! nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!' in my opinion, the term 'ethical politician' is an oxymoron. regardless of political persuasion.

    So true kelite, and when you really back them into a corner, they scream "Bill Clinton" The truth is, the hate Clinton generates from the right is what makes me like him. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't. Heck, that may explain why righties love Bush, because lefties can't stand him.

    interesting point, kdog. however, clinton and bush are extremely similar in my mind. i wouldn't trust either of them as far as i could throw them.

    what is wrong with having sex with house pages they are basically interns and aren't they all of the age of consent anyhow?

    Agreed there as well kelite, neither are the trustable type, when it comes to politicians, that goes without saying, eh?
