"No Fingers Left to Wag": Corrupt Democrats and Their Hypocrite Leadership Exposed

Democrats Mired in Swamp They Vowed to Drain

A rash of ethics lapses has given Democrats an election-year headache: how to convince skeptical voters that they're any cleaner than Republicans they accused of fostering a "culture of corruption" in 2006.


From the conduct of governors in Illinois and New York to backroom deals over President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul, Democrats are drawing their own criticism when it comes to the ethics of public officials.


The party that pledged to "drain the swamp" if given control of Congress finds itself sinking in the muck nine months from Election Day, when every member of the House and 36 Senate seats will be chosen.


The sword of sanctimony cuts both ways, warns a Republican felled by his own scandal in the weeks before the 2006 elections, as then-Rep. Nancy Pelosi led the campaign cry to end "the culture of corruption that has thrived under this Republican Congress."


"If you claim that you are going to hold a group accountable, as she professed, then it requires you to really be serious about that and not make excuses when members of their own party don't meet those same standards," former Rep. Mark Foley, who resigned weeks before the 2006 election because of allegations he pursued former House pages, told The Associated Press.

Anyone who believed Speaker of the House self-righteous pronouncements that she and the Democratic Party majority were going to change the Republican "culture of corruption" in Congress are either woefully or wilfully ignorant of the morally bankrupt recent history of the the socialist party itself.

While peddling a crusade against "The Culture of Corruption," Pelosi managed to secure "A Monopoly on Corruption" for her party and administration. From Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's tax evasion to Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd's sweet mortgage deal from Countrywide, corruption and wrongdoing have been the hallmark of Pelosi's tenure and Obama's presidency.

And now, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, is forced to "temporarily" give up the chairmanship of the tax-writing arm of the United State Congress because he has cheated on his taxes. You can't make that up, folks.
