Change is in the air

I think that Rangel’s transgressions are nowhere in same league at Cunningham’s. Not even close.

Cunningham was convicted in a Federal criminal investigation by the Justice Department. Rangel is not being prosecuted. Very different from Cunningham and Abramoff.

Most politicians fall because of moral lapses.

I don’t have a problem with a Democrat who cheats on his wife or gets caught smoking marijuana. That’s part of being human.

But I do have a problem with Republicans committing the same moral offenses because Republicans are holier than thou. They are always moralizing about family values, Christian values; and they put themselves out as beyond reproach.

I do feel sorry for Mark Sanford.

So if that’s a double standard, I’m guilty of it.

You are such an apologist for the Dems. and a huge hypocrite. Ethics violations are wrong, whether they have D or R by the name.

I agree.

And I believe that Rangel should lose his chairmanship but that’s all.

However, Rangel has not been convicted in a court of law, unlike Abramoff and Cunningham. Huge difference.

They need to end the filibuster. It helps Republicans and hurts Democrats. A few Dems always vote with the Republican’s. In this congress, the Republicans are not giving any support whatsoever. This congress in completely partisan, where the goal is obstruction to any legislation. I am confident the filibuster rules will change at the start of the next congress.

And the HCR bill did pass that Senate with 60 votes (all Dems did vote for it before Scott Brown won). Reconciliation is only being used for the process of reconciling the House and Senate versions. The mainstream media seems to like avoiding that detail.
