Taken from a FoxNews headline and I quote..."Allegations of ethics violations by Democrats in recent months have not made the same splash that they did a few years ago when Republicans were on the receiving end."
Now I pause for only a moment to gather my thoughts about why and how such violations are allowable under this type of economic condition? There are several allegations against key democrats that include lobbying for certain positions within the House and funneling TARP funds to a Senators husband's firm by writing legislation so that her husbands company could receive the government contract of over 25 billion tax payers dollars. Couple those more recent allegations with the tax evasion of several other key democrats and you have a thorough and clear view at most democratic agendas and their lack of abidance to their own laws. The secretary of Treasury had over 30 thousand dollars of unpaid taxes from over 5 years ago. The Ways and Means committee chairman (who is a leading democrat) is up against 4 different types of ethic violations alone. And the chairman handles the appropriations of our tax dollars? (A full description of what the Way and Means committee presides over can be found here).
In comparison to the democrats violations of this year, the republicans have had their own problems with the ethics committee. As the Washington Post reports the entire republican scandals can be traced to Jack Abramoff. He basically lobbyied politicians illegally and gave enormous gifts in return for governmental contracts etc. Republicans instead of taking the high road and admitting their wrong doing blatantly attempted a cover up which caused media circuses throughout America to jump on board and bash republicans. Thus republicans lost majorities in both House and Senate committees that are crucial to the financial turmoil America is in now.
How does republican smearing lead to democrat majorities? Easy its called the media!! The media alone progressed the democratic agenda by incessantly depicting Tom Delay and Jack Abramoff as career criminals. The media has not jumped on the bandwagon for depicting these democrats as career criminals even though each have a history with the ethics committee longer than the wrap sheet for any republican. i am frusterated by all of the blatant lies from both sides of the aisle and seek to purify our government by electing responsible and truthful politicians. And when those politicians overstep their ethics, they should be tried and convicted and placed in jail.

ReplyDeleteOf course the media would not jump on a bandwagon against the democrats, they would be playing against themselves. While Fox News may be more conservative and have more republican-like views, most media is filled with leftists that have only an agenda for doing whatever it takes to shit on the republicans. The media runs America, whether you want to admit it or not, they show us what we see and give details specific to one side.
ReplyDeleteMy inner battle with policics has nothing to do with my lake of understanding of politics or my care about them, but I am more afraid of the fact that whatever I try to research and read up on is only going to give me one side of the story. All those tax evasions by the Democrats were simply mistakes, oversights, yet the same evasions made by Republicans were intentional and they knew what they were doing the whole time. Now thats a load of crap.
That is the kind of reporting you get if you want to look up any violations made by the jackasses or the elephants. Thankfully we have a new outlet and the average person is handed a microphone. With the ablitly to blog we need to make it heard that we are tired of leftist reporting. Give us the news, we can figure out what side to take from there.
The bottom line is Republicans and Democrats are, in the end, politicians. They all have their own agendas and want to maximize their own net worth, we can only hope that the right combination of individual agendas can somehow lead America in the right direction.
