They make so good a case for the conservative cause that it's quite persuaded me. The brains all seem to be on the right-hand side of the aisle. So I hang with the smart guys.

So why do you think so many smart guys on the right-hand side of the aisle were investigated for corruption?

Below is a rundown of all 21 lawmakers, current and former. Ten of them are no longer in office. Investigations of seven are part of the Abramoff investigation. Seventeen are Republicans, four are Democrats.

Those numbers will change over the next 4 years. There is no doubt about it.

I think there might be doubt...I wont presume.

The Democratic Congress did at least adopt the first ethics and lobbying reform bill in 20 years...as weak as I think it is, its better than what was in place when the Republicans were in charge.

The question is if they live up to the new standards.

But as I said, power corrupts, not party affiliation as UG suggests.

You hang with them?



Yes, they will avoid smashing you flat, because you're on their side.

HAR HAR!

None of these Janus-faced assholes are on "your side", UG, and anyone who thinks they are should probably just stop pretending to have a spine.
