Another Republican Guilty Plea -- Will Voters Notice?
Republican Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham admitted accepting $2.4 million in cash, a Rolls Royce, a yacht and other things from defense contractors.
So many Republicans have been indicted or are under investigation -- Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, Sen. Bill Frist, Rep. Bob Ney, lobbyist Jack Abramoff, PR guy and Abramoff partner Michael Scanlon, Sen. Conrad Burns, Rep. John Doolittle.
There really is a culture of corruption within the Republican Party. Republicans control all branches of government. Their arrogance knows no bounds. You know the old saying -- "power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely." They think they can get away with anything.
But I wonder if the voters really will throw them out in the 2006 elections, when all of the House and 1/3 of the Senate are up for election.
Our country needs a change.
