DELAY'S WASHINGTON

This entire issue is deplorable! The mere idea that criminal activity is being perpetrated and perpetuated by government officials is appalling!!  Even more appalling is the fact that the "Republicans are not only excusing and justifying it but they seemingly condone it and want to pass laws which will allow even more criminal activity.  There is no word strong enough to describe how disgusted I am.  I really believe in my heart it is time for another revolution given by and for "We The People".  Enough is enough.  These cretins want nothing more than to turn America into Nazi America where the wealthy class can do whatever they want, when they want, however they want.

Enough is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dump DeLay

Nothin's changed.  Whether Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush I or Bush II, all modern Republican presidents have presided over some of the most rotten financial scandals since Teapot Dome. -- bassclef

Senate Scandal

I came of age during the Watergate scandal, and never expected more of our elected officials than greed.  Why? We allow them to do whatever they like, and we sit back and act appauled as if it never happened before.  I eagerly signed a petition a couple of summers ago to oust the governor of California for bad performance.  It seemed as if the sun was shining on a new day in politics; a day when the American people were again actively taking part in THEIR political process.  Until complacency moved back in.

crimimal activity by the so-called Republican part

so we all are concerned. but the larger problem is awakening the "silent majority" that does not have a clue that the constitution and the rule of law is being subverted.  HOW WILL WE DO THAT???!!!
