Ethics games

Looks like someone is all in a tiffy over the defeat of an absurd resolution offered by Mike Rogers of Michigan to admonish Rep. Murtha of Pennsylvannia.

Given that there is no evidence for the alledged incident beyond the words of the accusor, this seems like a perfect situation for an independant ethics committee to get involved.

Oh, thats right... the Republican party has been kicking around the ethics process for years now. Our former Rep. Mike Sodrel was complicit in kicking down attempts to shed light on the most corrupt Congress in history.

And so now we enter a New Era in the house. We continue to drain the swamp (but it still appears deep) - but you cant change over 12 years of corrupt government overnight.

So Baron Hill is the man taking charge to change the face of the US House. He's challenging the leadership and old brass of both parties to work for more effective government for Hooisers. We applaud Rep. Hill for his intense focus on the issues most important to us. No tit-for-tat, 'politics as usual' arguments will challenge the determination of the people of this district to have a government that works for us.

I agree with Rep Miller of California:

"It's time to put on your long pants and grow up."
