Great idea; should be applied top to bottom, across the board.

Even applies to the gun debate, doesn't it.

Sure does.

But it's more than just a great idea.

Because it's such a great idea, that the writers of laws, wrote these laws.

The fact that the writers of laws turn around and break their own laws while demading that everyone else abide by them should be met with scorn. Not relativism. Anger, not complacency.

Instead?

Well, you know....

I'm not up to speed on gunz lawz, but you better believe that the same standard must apply. As long as it does, I'm game.

But it doesn't. For example, that's what the gun banners are all about. Punish the multitude of innocent for the actual crimes of the few. It's the old Army Basic Training routine.

Delay? If they can prove criminal charges on him, hang him high. Same for all other criminal politicians of any party, stripe or rank. If they can prove criminal charges on Boosh...hang him.  Responsibility/Accountability.

Even if they don't "get" Delay on criminal charges I'd be surprised if the people of his district re-elect him. There's gotta be someone else.

There are a number of politicians in the Republican Party who have let us all down.  

They deserve the strongest possible punishment.

But I will CONTINUE to vote the conservative ticket - while demanding that they clean house - because I prefer that ideology over the liberal one.

The preposterous premise floating around here is that, somehow, Democrats are intrinsically  honest, while Republicans are corrupt.  That is a steaming pile of bs.  A talking point.  I vote for the platform, the ideology.  And past that, I am for weeding out all corrupt politicians.

methinks it's way past independent counsel and special prosecutor time. we ain't gonna get any real changes in the way either party does buisness till crooked politicans do jail time.. otherwise the new butts that warm the old chairs will have the same crooked cracks.

I'd like to see serious jail time for the corrupt ones, they deserve more hard time than a regular citizen due to their special position of trust.  But I aint holding my breath...

What is a corrupt politician? One that doesn't do what his financiers ask of him?

If you can prove that republicans are corrupt (catch and convict) then by all means throw the book at em.

That does not mean that I will support the creeping socialism and nanny state and the removal of my constitutional rights by voting for democrats in the next (or any election).

Given the choice of voting for a known theif republican and a democrat who supported removing second amendment rights....

I will vote for the corrupt republican.

If all democrats offer me is that they are not as corrupt in one thing or another.... that does not make up for them being commies and anti constitutionalists.
