Here is a laughable quote from Mr. Daily Kos himself:
We have to show we are different than Republicans by refusing to tolerate any corruption in our ranks.
Is he joking? Democrats have a long history of not only tolerating but condoning corruption in their party. Murtha himself has a long record of corruption that has been excused by the Democratic Party. There is, of course, rampant corruption in the Democratic Party that Daily Kos has most certainly turned a blind eye to or made excuses for over the years. Even now, Obama can’t seem to nominate anyone who pays their taxes, and that is barely the tip of the iceberg.
Republicans have a much better record of weeding out the corrupt elements of their party than the Democrats do. A Democrat under federal investigation is more likely to be offered a powerful chairmanship than to be ousted by this party leaders. A Democrat who has an affair with an underage campaign worker is more likely to be reelected than incarcerated.
Sorry Kos, abandoning a sinking ship because you have no choice doesn’t give you the high ground on ethics. Applying the same standard to both parties would give you more credibility.
