The intent is restore perspective. We need to move beyond the Republican good Democrat bad or visa versa mentality. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are accused of very serious ethical lapses. Yet being Democrats, that seems to be a non-issue. Delay is accused of serious ethical lapses, but being a Republican that becomes an important issue.

To date, Reid has committed only one of the acts of which Delay is accused. Pelosi has committed a lesser act that does not match the seriousness of Delay's. Can you see why they are not under the same scrutiny as Delay? If you can't, then you have a serious problem. It has nothing to do with partisanship. It has all to do with Delay's lack of character.

We EXPECT (not just in recent history and not just in the U.S.) our politicians to have ethical lapses on occasion; they're politicians.

DeLay is way beyond that point. For him, an ethical lapse would be a moment in which he were to behave ethically.
