And how many Republicans did the Republicans really throw out of the swamp when the Republicans ran the House for 12 years? Tom DeLay, Dick Armey, Mark Foley, David Vitter, Larry Craig, Duke Cunningham?
I’m all in favor of Congressional term limits. Both parties are full of heavily bribed – er, lobbied – veterans. But whose job is it to limit the bribery? Those same Congresscritters.
why do voters who elected these congressmen who corrupt their public trust positions with scandals of money and sex and perversity….not learn to demand more of candidates for office?
the incumbency rate is astronomical….re-elected for decades is the norm…..even after “news” has reported reasons to suspect corruption! New Yorkers will no doubt vote for Rangel in November, even now that he has 13 documented charges made by the evenly divided D/R ethics committee!
Look who he hung around with prior to the election and why is he keeping his past such a secret. (ie: college records) Look who he has surrounded himself with, Tax cheats like Tim Geithner.
If Princess Pelosi is going to drain the swamp she might as well start with the White House and take a number for her shady dealings & abuse of office/taxpayer funds.

Same can be said about Obama voters.

Charlie Rangel is a national treasure.
When Maxine Waters opens her can of whoop-ass, watch out!

Texas gave us a lot more than Phil Gramm, like the whole Bush family and Dick Chenney.
