…not.
Only the Democrat House Leadership could find an unethical way to pass an “ethics” bill.
House Democrats had crafted legislation, an ethics bill in name only, that will do nothing to clean-up Washington. In fact, many non-partisan experts believe that it will only further empower the special interests.
Tonight, on the House floor, House Democrats were headed towards defeat. They were opposed by a bipartisan coalition of Members, who wanted to work towards meaningful ethics reform, rather than accept the empty rhetoric offered by the House Democrat Leadership. At the end of the vote, the bipartisan coalition had prevailed; yet, Speaker Pelosi held the vote open and strong-armed less senior Representatives into voting her way. This action violated House rules that were enacted in January of last year.
One thing is clear – House Democrats have failed the American People. They can’t even pass an “ethics” bill without violating the rules.

Yikes. I don’t think political contradiction can get much more explicit than that.
Political contradiction indeed!
It’s amazing how blunt and bold the Dems are when it comes to things such as this.
That’s easy. They know most Americans will only read the title.
