Maybe voters should’ve been a little more cautious when Democrats were running on the “Culture of Corruption” campaign. Seems they weren’t really looking to reduce the corruption in Congress so much as reward it.

First example, look who Pelosi is backing for Majority Leader - John Murtha, a Congressman who was taped entertaining bribes from undercover FBI agents in 1980.

Then look at Pelosi’s move on the Intelligence Committee. She is passing on Jane Harman to chair the committee, which will leave, by virtue of seniority, Alcee Hastings, the Congressman and former federal judge who was impeached by a Democrat-controlled Senate for taking bribes. Imagine, someone who’s previously been impeached and removed from office for taking bribes heading up one of the most important Congressional committees while we’re at war.

Allah wonders if Pelosi will endorse William “Bribe-money-in-my-freezer” Jefferson to chair the Budget Committee.

Off to a great start, folks.

2. Get over it. The Republicans lost, the Democrats won.

   If you are so good at conducting research, where were you when Bush and company lied about weapons of mass destruction as a justification for war? We now see the Iraqis, who are not willing to protect their own country, were no threat to us. What Bush did is truly an impeachable offense. But the same spineless individuals who were rabid about the impeachment of President Clinton (and what was his offense?) are now silent about the impeachment of a man who is responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thousands of US citizens.

   You refuse to credit President Clinton for the economic prosperity this country experienced during his administration.

   George W. Bush and company are a national disgrace. They have set this country back in the eyes of the world. They have used the country’s coffers for their own personal gain. Hopefully, the voters’ rejection was just the first step. I pray they will be held responsible for their sins.

   And as far as the Republican party is concerned, we are now learning that among the ranks are pedophiles, drug users and solicitors of homosexual-sex-for-hire.

   The American people may be slow, but they are not stupid. The Republican party has revealed its true self, and the country has rejected it.

3. “Get over it. The Republicans lost, the Democrats won.”

   That’s the typical response I’ve come to expect from the children on the Left. That’s the difference between Republicans losing and Democrats losing… we actually have the ability to get over it. You guys are still crying about the past three elections and here were are a week out from Republicans losing Congress and we’re not demanding recounts, claiming disenfranchisement, and acting like damn children because we lost. We accept it like adults and move on.

   And have some patience. I’m sure the Democrats are chomping at the bit to get into impeachment mode, so you’ll get your thrills soon enough. Even if it is just for political payback.

   I also notice you jumped right into the standard DNC talking points rather than address the post. But I’m not surprised.

4. […] UPDATE: A liberal commenter in another post told me to “Get over it.” Looks like we aren’t the ones having trouble “getting over it.” As usual. SOURCE: DNC Sees Six Undecided U.S. House Elections Still to be ‘Winnable,’ Planning Challenges Legal Resources Being Gathered by National Party to Challenge Close Elections Where Dems Currently Trail … The source also adds that the DNC is considering whether or not to ask for contributions from the public to a legal fund to assure they will have the funds needed to provide full legal resources to thoroughly challenge each of those races.
