U.S. Congress or U.S. Playpen?
11.20.04 (8:43 am)   [edit]
The Washington Times carries a story today entitled "Ethics charges hurled in House." It seems that our Congress Critters don't work and play well together.

Have you ever watched a professional football game when a defensive player charges across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped? The offense and defense point fingers at each other hoping the decision of the referee will go against the other team.

Our Congress is doing the same thing. While they should be taking care of business, they instead act like a bunch of spoiled little children on a playground.

I don't really care who the worst "ethics" offender is in Congress. If they violate laws and/or rules the simple answer is that they should resign. It doesn't matter if it's a democrat or a republican -- they should quit. Make room for someone that will follow the laws and rules.

Tom DeLay, as noted in a post below, should be the first to go, then Jim McDermott. I'm sure there are others just as bad -- they just haven't been caught yet.

Congress needs to clean itself up. Our representatives are not there to build power and fiefdoms. They are supposed to be taking care of the people's business. It's about time for them to stop bickering and finger-pointing and get to work!

the day that the congressmen play nice is the day they all come from one party. the day when hell freezes over. and with global warming, that's not likely to happen anytime soon :-)
