Fox News, we have a Moral Crisis in the Republican Party.

Fox News, I want your prognostic on GOP Ethics.

. Ensign: Sex, ethics & potential Money laundering scandals
. Vitter: Sex scandal
. Sanford: Sex and ethics scandals
. Don Young: Bribery/Money scandal
. Bernard Kerik: Bribery/perjury indictments

Ensign, Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank.

Throw them all out on their ear.

Conservatives will never live up to their morality play. If they think their politicians can and should preach to families about "family values" then they have no idea what family values are.

Politicians are politicians. I wouldn't ask my plumber to lead me on the topic of "family values" why would I expect a politician to be able to.

The clock is ticking on tax cheat Democrat Charlie Rangel

It hasn't gotten much attention amid news of Ted Kennedy, Obamacare and the worsening outlook in Afghanistan, but an extraordinary situation is developing in the House of Representatives. With each passing day, it's becoming more clear that the powerful committee chairman in charge of writing America's tax laws is a financial wheeler-dealer, a serial asset-hider, and a tax offender.

Last week, we learned that Rangel filed a grossly misleading financial disclosure report for 2007 -- failing to report at least half a million dollars in assets.

It turns out Rangel had a credit union account worth at least $250,000 and maybe as much as $500,000 -- and didn't report it.

He had investment accounts worth about the same, which he also didn't report. Ditto for three pieces of property in New Jersey.

Beyond that, we've learned that Rangel has failed to report assets totaling more than $1 million on legally required financial disclosure forms going back to at least 2001.

The news comes on top of revelations last year that Rangel didn't report -- and didn't pay taxes on -- income from a villa in the Caribbean. In that matter, the Internal Revenue Service gave him sweetheart treatment; Rangel paid about $10,000 in back taxes but was not required to pay any penalty or interest.

Apparently there are more Republican scandals than Democratic scandals. You can't legislate morality so why do the Republicans insist on putting themselves on such a high pedestal?

Oh yeah, like Ensign is really thinking about healthcare right now! LOL! Sure!

When it comes to morality, the Dems have no excuse. They are the party of abortion.

They also happen to be the party of idiots... Pelosi, Obama, Biden, Frank. I could go on and on!

GOP is the party of "life", then denying healthcare so the child can die a long, slow death. Yeah sure, your party only cares about greed, corruption, wars (top of the list for killing!), and MONEY!

Sorry... but the republicans are the party of abortion. See.. in the first six years of his term, GW (the shrub) Bush had control of 1) the whitehouse, 2) the senate, 3) congress, and 4) the supreme court of the united states. So... with that in mind, why was there NO concerted effort by that administration to overturn Wade VS Roe???? Nothing was done, at all.... I'll let you in on a dirty little secret.... see... the republican party has no intentions of ever reversing Wade vs Roe. Why??? Because, it is a powerful talking point during elections or when trying to deflect a situtation. They trot out the "abortion card" and whip up the southern fright wing immoral majority into a frenzy. Now why, in God's name, would they ever want to eliminate that slimey tactic??? Pretty ugly, if you ask me.... but typically republican.

Why do you insist on being a sheep and letting Democrats use as their pedestal? Does it smell good being down there with the Amebas?
