Ethics and Courage
The Democratic Party is bereft of both. Look what accepting bribes will get you from Crazy Nancy:
Eight months after stripping Rep. William J. Jefferson of his seat on the Ways and Means Committee, Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to award the lawmaker with a spot on the Homeland Security panel.
Jefferson has been embroiled in a nearly two-year-old federal investigation focusing on whether the 59-year-old lawmaker accepted bribes when he attempted to help set up some telecommunications deals in Africa for a Kentucky-based company called iGate Inc. Court documents indicate that the FBI has accumulated a significant amount of evidence in the case, including video of Jefferson allegedly accepting a $100,000 cash bribe from an FBI informant.
The case became fodder for late-night talk show comedians after investigators raided his home and found $90,000 in cash tucked away in a freezer.
Yeah Nancy, clean up that House! You're doing a fine job!
Then...the Democrats passed their Resolution for Defeat today, with the help of 17 Republicans:
The House just completed voting, and has approved 246-182 the Democrats' defeatist resolution. This was expected: but the good news is, the 40-60 Republican defectors that the Democrats had been predicting failed to materialize. Only seventeen Republicans voted for the resolution --- and two Democrats broke ranks to vote against it.
Read further down in the article to see the two Democrats who did the right thing and the 17 White Flag Republicans.
Are the Democrats showing their true colors, or what?
