House considers weakening ethics rules - Dec 31, 2004

Republicans are fucking hypocrits. Doesn't surprise me because most of them are Christian, but anyway...could you imagine the gnashing of teeth and screaming and yelling that the repugnicans an O'Rielly over at FOX news would do if the DEMOCRATS wanted to to "lower the standards" after a DEMOCRAT was investigated on ethics violations? Oh my goodness, it'd be the fucking end of the world, not doubt.

Typical republican bullshit though, this is. They can NEVER play by the Rules. Hell, they want to do away w/ the fillibuster so that Bush's appointees can sail through, in the new Congress they'll only bring up what a "majority of the majority" want, and in Florida they are considering taking separation of churc and state out of their constitution so that republicans can pass otherwise unconstitutional laws. Hell, they can't even win an election without cheating.

If I were a republican, I'd be embarassed.
