Well, the line of unethical, embarrassing, and downright illegal actions by Democratic politicians is growing so fast, it is hard to keep track of them all. This isn’t to say Republicans haven’t had ugly and disgusting scandals of their own; but heck, Democrats are in power, we Republicans might as well get some enjoyment out of it. Here is my summary list:

After eight years of Democrats complaining of Bush running an ‘Imperial Presidency’, it is almost humorous to see Obama’s and the Democrat’s power grab over the few weeks.  I would be laughing more if it weren’t more serious. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/13/stimulus/index.html Congress was at least predictable.  Frankly, the Democrats are acting like the Republicans did.  They are [...]
