Guess they got tired of draining the swamp:
The Office of Congressional Ethics, a powerful symbol of Democrats’ promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington, is in danger of having its power stripped after the midterm elections.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have led the charge, airing complaints about the aggressive, independent panel in a private session with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last month, and they’ve drafted a resolution that, if approved, would severely curtail the panel’s power…
There are a few Republicans who are making noises against the Office – and I’d like to see them booted out of office, tarred and feathered for sheer stupidity. Democrats created this thing, it is causing them no end of headaches and all Republicans should just stand silent and allow the Democrats to screw themselves over by attacking their own creation.
The Democrat party is hopelessly mired in corruption – this is because, as Matt and I pointed out in Caucus of Corruption, Democrats are never punished for corruption. They created this new Office as window dressing for their alleged campaign against the “culture of corruption” in DC, never thinking that anything would come of it. Trouble is, corruption is so endemic among Democrat ranks that the New Media was bound to find some, and thus force action. Now that they realize the Office is causing trouble, they want it to go away.
Of course, in addition to being corrupt, they are also cowards – so they won’t move on it until after the mid-terms.
