Proof AGAIN that Washington is above the law

Time to write my new R Congressman. But he was a Congressman in 2006 (then he ran for the U.S. Senate and lost in 2008. Then he ran again in 2010 as a Rep and won, again). I wonder which way he voted in 2006? I would hope the Rs really learned a lesson, when they lost the House and the Senate in 2008... It'll be interesting to see how it goes down.

It's pretty telling that you have to pass a law to make them obey the same laws everyone else has to obey...and that they didn't want that law passed. No one should be above the law.

Hiya laglen, Have understood all of that because that happens here as well but they always try and sidestep that very fact. It is quite amusing the excuses that they come up with. Can´t think of any right now but those who said that the Politicians should be more austere in their spending and money affairs have just had six hundered thousand Euros added to their daily diet expenses to help them out when they have to fly with People of higher ranks how do you like that one. What they have not said if it is shared between them this money or if it´s for each of them. They always miss the best bits out don´t they eh? What they don´t want us to know aha.xxx
