Shocker: Democrat Ethical Problems Reminiscent Of Republican Ethical Problems
Despite President Obama’s repeated pledge to usher in a new, more ethical climate in Washington, House Democrats’ ethical troubles have begun to resemble those the GOP had when it occupied the majority just three years ago.
In many ways, the developments are more difficult for Democrats because they rose to power, at least in part, by vowing to right the ethical wrongs of the past.
Six Obama cabinet nominees with ethical and legal problems. John Murtha having the offices of a former aide’s lobbying business raided. Charlie Rangel avoiding taxes and breaking ethics rules. Both Obama and Pelosi promising no earmarks in the stimulus bill only to have that bill literally chock full of pork.
It’s not exactly an auspicious start for the liberals.
