A source tells The Associated Press that Congressman Randy Cunningham will plead guilty to tax violations. The California Republican has been under investigation regarding a real estate transaction in his home state. We've read about this story before. It sounds almost as unbelievably stupid as taking corporate money for statewide campaigns and funneling it through a national party..D'OH!
they were corrupt before they got into office.
Is it just me, or is the apparent degree to which there is a lack of ethics among Republican office-holders unusual? I don't recall this many pols of one party being under investigation/indictment ever. And see there I thought they'd never do anything really well.
and don't forget - 73 percent of serial killers vote republican. coincedence?
The Republicans now control all three branches of government - as well as most state houses. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
My only hope is that the Dems run candidates that are viable and winnable in '06 - not a bunch of left-wing nut jobs. Our country works better and politicians are somewhat kept in check with two strong and active parties.
