Why don't you read the original post. Opinions are able to be expressed here unlike the Politics for Pros where anyone who has an opinion that differs from the right wing position is banned. Lindy Bill had the longest banned list of any thread. Welcome .. Carranza2..and feel free to state your opinions. Drek and other yiddish words allowed. And here is a post for your perusal:ETHICS THIS HAS SUBSTANCE DeLay Violates House Rules Quick...look over there! Last night, as all eyes turned to Miami for the first presidential debate, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives released the findings of a six-month investigation into whether Majority Leader Tom DeLay broke House rules by trying to buy a fellow congressman's vote. The 62-page report found he in fact did offer to endorse the congressional bid (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A63387-2004Sep30.html) of Rep. Nick Smith's son in exchange for the lawmaker's vote on the Medicare prescription drug bill. That's a direct violation of House rules, as "it is improper for a member to offer or link support for the personal interests of another member as part of quid pro quo to achieve a legislative goal." Here's hoping his slapped wrist recovers -- beyond last night's rebuke, DeLay's penalty for violating House ethics and trying to unduly influence a colleague is... nothing at all (http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-DeLay-Ethics.html) . (If you think it's time to bring the hammer down on DeLay, take a stand and tell the members of the House Ethics Committee (http://www.americanprogressaction.org/siteapps/advocacy/index.aspx?c=klLWJcP7H&b=100385&action=1258&template=x.ascx) .)
