Task force has it right

I love it when an independment task force tells it like it is. It is all too common for elected officials or partisans to shrug their shoulders when confronted by incidents of impropriety or out-and-out corruption (Abramoff comes to mind). They would have us believe that these type of things are unfortunate and unusual incidents. Well, none other than Bob Ney said it best in his guilty plea: "I allowed myself to get too comfortable with the way things have been done in Washington D.C. for too long."

The secret's out. Everyone sees that something needs to be done with the way campaigns are financed.

Go, fight, win, New Mexico.
