Can You Believe it?

Pelosi said it best -- The first action of the Republicans is to lower their ethics.

1. Why does DeLay get such special consideration and have the rules changed to protect his job.
2. Just like the Democrats that have been ousted by this rule over the last several years why isn't he held to the same standard?
3. Are you telling me he is better, special or so crucial to Congress that the rules don't apply to him?
4. Why did the Republicans wait till now to change it, this has been known for a while? They needed no majority to change the rule. Why didn't they change it prior to Nov 2nd? Are they protecting the President from the damage it would have done?

It is amazing how these ethical men lead the nation to believe things would change and many people believed them. Now, they slip in and lower the standard so that one of the chosen few can benefit from it. Will they change the laws of this land so that the AVERAGE American can benefit? No, sadly .. the average American is not special enough. We are just duped votes whose only value is to get them elected to their special place.

The men that voted to do this should be embarrassed and feel a little cheaper. DeLay, if he accepts this should kiss their hind ends and hang his head in shame for lowering his ethical standards even lower than it will be if he is convicted for the crime. Shame on the President for not speaking up and crying out for ethics and integrity.

Maybe, however miniscule, the Democrats were right, the Republicans do cheat and bend the laws.
