World Net Daily: Republicans Unworthy of Governing
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 01:15 PM by tpsbmam
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52235

This is by the founder, editor & CEO of right-wing World Net Daily. Mind you, he still HATES Democrats and disses Democrats in the editorial, but the bulk of his ire is directed at Rethugs.

<snip>

Following the revelations about Florida Rep. Mark Foley's sexually suggestive e-mails to a 16-year-old congressional page, I have concluded Republicans are unworthy of retaining control of the federal government.

<snip>

Think about this. In 2005, there was still time for the Republicans to clean their own dirty laundry and find a suitable replacement for an unsuitable incumbent. They did not.

Let me also remind you that it is the sworn duty of the House to clean its own house. It should not have been a matter of simply turning over information to the "proper authorities." The Congress of the United States is the proper authority to determine whether any member is unfit to hold office.

<snip>

That's a disgrace. Hastert is a disgrace for setting this kind of tone in his own office. There was obviously a circle-the-wagons mentality at work there.

<snip>

Republicans will pay a price for this error. And they should.

(Edited to add link to story...which I forgot to add before....it's been a LOOOOOOOONG day and it's not half over yet!)

2. It is embarrassing for them, that's for sure
But before getting too excited let's consider what sorto f people they would like to see in charge of our lives. Pious, God fearing fascists, who will make liberalism a crime againt the state.
