[PDJane]

2. Vicious, crooked

and criminal this lot are. What a bunch......

[TahitiNut]

3. Would "GOP Lawmakers" recognize "Ethics" if they found them?

I doubt it. :shrug:

[Erika]

4. Tactics used against McCain by W buds

W is as dirty as they come.

5. hmmmm. Well

maybe we could help Congressman Murtha out here. You know that 1-800 number for the switchboard for the congressman? What if we call the rethugs and tell them that they will not get our vote if they continue with this? What do you think?

[MadisonProgressive]

6. They know they don't have our votes anyway

[Pam-Moby]

7. So what makes you think that they know this?

10. Every CongressCritter making accusations for ethics investigations

should have their own ethics investigated also.

After all, we don't want any hypocritical accusations, do we ?

11. These guys cannot change their bad tactics.

They can't accept that the public has had enough of this. The whole Plamegate crime episode is a result of thinking every opponent must be attacked, instead of dealing with the substance of his complaint.

It's like the Ethics course the White House staff took this past week. Sure, I believe that Plamegate resulted because people didn't understand ethics.

Here's my cartoon's take on that.

13. The meaner they get, the more they lose.

Does anybody remember the 98' elections? Republicans were hammering away at Bill Clinton with a vengeance, using tactics like these. They lost big in those elections, because people were put off by the meanness. The more they act like bullies in a schoolyard, the more I like it--I see good things for 06'.
