Comments on: House Passes Sweeping Ethics Bill

Measure Toughens Congressional Rules On Fundraising And Lobbying

[lochlan-2009]

Wow, the Dems go straight to the source of the problem. Republicans and lobbyists are the same people now, leaching off every American, with no remorse, as their corporate pals bank accounts fill to unimaginable amounts. Bought and paid for politicians, most well invested in their no-bid contract companies of choice. These people have sold out every American for the benefit of the sickening greed of the global elite. The largest heist in history, the plundering of the United States government, happened in the term of one president. Why aren't they in jail?

This legislation is a great start by the Dems to reign in the Republican "Culture of Corruption."

GOP = Greed Over Principle

Too much discretionary spending available to these crooks, means taxes are too high as well, 15 percent above the poverty line across the board I work to hard for my paycheck to fork it over to Repug friends and family.

it is not a village, it is a megalopolis for
one thing, and a megauniverse. hilary is
a goldwater republican, and bill is really
bill banowsky who was president of pepperdine
university malibu, ca. those people are as
phony as a 10 trillion dollar bill. when
they were in office, my family screamed at
the tv every night. i just can't take that
again. chicago seven need to break the seven
seals and really do some decent deals
at the convention. cause this is getting
too weird. too many veervolves creep through
the land. its creepy man. i mean i love
britney spears, nazi admiral navy spears relative
who is paying off the jewish federline but
this is just tooo mucch. it's all too much.
and the billary are biting off way more than
they can chew.

And just who is going to monitor this? The House or the Senate? Like asking a fox to guard the chicken coop.

An over-ride of Dumbya's veto looks pretty certain.

I don't think Dumbya could handle an over-ride, so he won't veto this one. I'm sure he'd like to.

I agree. The House passed the bill with 98% of the vote. If the senate can pass it with 70% or more, Bush isn't likely to veto it.

Professional politicians and ethics is an oxymoron.
It just can't happen.
Vote the rascals out.

Yes a great start now a tax reduction is greatly needed, the problem is to much discretionary money in the tax revenues along with the GOP and come on, 35 percent is to much as a tax rate, I want the 15 percent tax rate the Equity Barons have! 32,000 ear marks, 32,000 and none for me!

Until we have term limits and real campaign finance reform, nothing is going to change with the prostitutes in congress.
