Fire them all!

House Ethics Standstill Stalls DeLay Decision. This is pathetic. Really pathetic. The fox guarding the hen house. Frankly, there should be a completely independent body enforcing the ethics Rules of both houses of congress. Instead of cleaning up their acts and chasing down corruption and ethical violations (although everyone seems to be running around rewriting their travel history), they are quibbling over minutae that matter to no one outside the committee.

Yet further evidence that Washington is completely out of touch with reality and oblivious to the issues that matter to anyone living outside the beltway. Sadly, if history repeats itself, most of these criminals, er congress-critters will get re-elected because it is such an up-hill battle for a non-incumbant to raise enough money to wage an effective campaign.

Tom Delay is laughing all the way to the bank.

I say, fire them all. I'd fire my own critter if there was anyone opposing him... there never is. The arrogant a-hole doesn't even bother to have an aide, or even a software agent, respond to my emails. He never does jack as far as I can tell. This is what's wrong with Congress and our republic. Our representatives don't have to be representative to their constituents since the $$$ that funds their campaigns comes from the lobbyists on K street and the amounts are so ridiculously outrageous that few can muster an effective challenge.
