seems the repubs can't give up
their unethical habits :dry:
Every one of them voted against closure on ethics reform. Harry Reid, the sponsor of the bill, had to vote against closure so he could bring it up again at a later date.
The repubs are saying they are blocking it because the Democrats wouldn't allow an unrelated amendment to it (give Bush a line item veto)..... If that was so important why didn't they do it over the last 6 years when they held all 3 "houses"?
Re: seems the repubs can't give up
The repubs are making me angry on this one.:angry:
However, when it "with the approval of Congress" does that mean that there is a vote if the Prez wants single out individual items for elimination?
Why give the Prez that power and why make that the reason to stifle ethics reform?
Re: seems the repubs can't give up
