These people need to have the hightest ethical standards since they play a roll in the future of this country. What type of examples are they setting for the people of this country by cheating on their wife and family? What else are they doing behind our countrys back? If you are not going to obide by good ethical values the get out of office or get thrown out!

Not really Kev, Rhonda just didn’t conveniently mention any Democrat names. Surprised?

jimmy mac — you should divorce yourself from any discussions on ethics —– it includes honesty and integrity —— you have no experience in either

Rep. William Jefferson, D-La.,

And I guess the “D -La” is a typo?
Poor Ronda, the left see you as the Eagle’s right-wing verse of a Kansas Rush L. And the right see you as Move-on-dot. org’s local reporter. Messenger, lay your head on the block!

Washington D.C. has become that joke about the Dallas Cowboys. The team had to stop the practice of the huddle. Most of the team being on Probation and not allow to associate with other Felons. The question whether their actions effects their duties as elected officials is the deciding factor.
How does the latest having a mistress and a baby out of wedlock effect his duties as a Congressman?

We elect some hum-dingers, don’t we!?

Does running for public office draw the dregs or do we manage to choose the worst?

Maybe it’s what happens to an average person once they get into office and part of the system?

It would be interesting to see if the incidence of UNlawfullness and IMmorality is higher among elected officials than the general public.

What Democratic Names?

Oh, let’s see…

Let’s start with Senator Feinstein who was asked to step down from committee after showing her Husband’s company preferential treatment in getting multi-billion Department of Defense contracts.

Or the Congressman, William Jefferson and the freezer money…

Let’s see, Congressman Joseph A. “Joe” Sestak, Jr, who was found supporting, attending campaign fund raisers of an agency, CAIR, that has known terrorist ties and is an apologists for terrorist’s attacks.

the list goes on…

Yeah Crapn, diverting billions of dollars to a personal fortune for personal gain and supporting terrorists organizations is much less important than a misdemeanor charge in Idaho.

Or better yet, list the democrats indicted and/or convicted in the Abramoff republican debacle.

Point is: Both parties have their respective closets to hide in, and congress has done little, if anything, to investigate or correct the problem. That would take real Americans doing what should be done, and from what I read, there are few, if any, left in Washington. Just a capital full of bloviated, senile old hacks looking for a lifetime retirement check, dem and rep.

List of Democraps taking Abramoff money.

=========================
It’s been reported over and over that “no Democrat” took money “directly” from Abramoff. The Republicans that were convicted in the Abramoff scandal took bribed directly from him.

DLY,
You question the family values of a man with two (count ‘em, two) families? Can you do better?

The real problem with congressional ethics today is that according to the religious right, immorality is only about sex, and anything else goes! Considering how many of our congressmen couldn’t get it up with a bottle of Viagra, most compensate by acting morally upright while looting the public trust without a qualm, scruple or care.
