Michelle Malkin's post about Tom Delay being included on the Texas ballot is naked partisanism of the first order. This is the same Democrat party that made the exact opposite arguement 4 years ago before the NJ Supreme court. See here. I'm not surprised and I know the Republicans wouldn't do anything differently. Call me cynical but it's politics. Personally, I think voters are far more principled than those elected. They can afford to be. Their job isn't on the line when they decide on an issue.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
