Democrat Corruption

Your tax dollars at work. Democrat Murtha threatens another Congressman and the Dems simply shrug their shoulders.

House Democrats rejected a Republican bid Tuesday to reprimand Rep. John Murtha, a senior lawmaker accused of threatening legislative reprisals against a GOP member who had crossed him…

Note that Murtha has not even tried to deny the allegations- and yet 219 out of 221 Democrats voted for him.

Can you imagine the outrage if a Republican had threatened a Democrat in a similar manner?

In a House speech Monday, Rogers said Murtha threatened him by saying, “you will not get any earmarks now and forever.” Rogers, backed by House GOP leaders, said Murtha’s threat violated congressional ethics rules.

So come on Libs- where's your outrage that America's democratic process be corrupted like this? Should someone be able to threaten other members into voting how they want simply because they hold the purse-strings? Or should your elected representatives be able to vote their conscience?
