I think Americans need to follow Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) advice to drain the swamp in Congress by voting out of office Democrats in the House.

I'm glad that at least the Democrats believe in enforcing ethics laws. If wrong doing is found, get them out, regardless of party.

LIES AND MORE LIES……IT’S THE LIBERAL WAY TO SWOON THE LOONS.

By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE and MATT APUZZO

WASHINGTON (AP)- An early progress report on President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan overstates by thousands the number of jobs created or saved through the stimulus program, a mistake that White House officials promise will be corrected in future reports.

CBS Says White House Is Fudging Numbers...CBS the sky is falling the sky is falling…..

Newly disclosed emails link White House directly to NEA politicalization scandal...

Bullet hits Lou Dobbs' home with wife nearby... press wants to know where Biden was….

At least there are ethics investigations. Under the Republicans, the ethics committee was disbanded.

Demoscats investigating Demoscats make Due Process just the slower version of White Wash even though she's guilty.

She made the call for the Treasury to release TARP Funds to the Bank that was determined not worthy. After the call, the questionable bank received MILLION$ in tax payer dollars! Her husband runs that bank!

If that is true many of them are going your side where they belong. Now lets all hope a few nukes change our perspective. Can you agree with me? Yeah, I know you can.

Previously Published Sept 21, 2006:

California Congresswoman Maxine Waters Makes “Top 20 Most Corrupt” List

California’s Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) has made the D.C. based watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW)“20 Most Corrupt Members in Congress" list….again.

An eight-term Democrat representing 35th District communities which includes South Los Angeles, Waters is believed to have exercised power in Congress "to financially benefit her daughter, husband and son."

"Rep. Waters' family members have used her name and connections to make lucrative commercial deals from which they have reaped personal financial gain in violation of House rules," CREW said.

Waters' daughter, Karen Waters, allegedly received hundreds of thousands of dollars by charging for spots on slate mailers issued by a nonprofit organization that sends sample ballots to voters, according to CREW. Rep. Waters’ husband, Sidney Williams, also earned hundreds of thousands of dollars by working as a consultant for a bond underwriting firm that seeks government investment, CREW said.

Waters' son, Edward, also benefited from her political connections involving a county lease to run a golf course in South Los Angeles, according to CREW.

To be fair, Waters is in the company of California's very own Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Riverside; Rep. John Doolittle, R-Roseville; Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands; Rep. Gary Miller, R-Diamond Bar; and Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy.

An August 2006 Harris poll shows that 77% of Americans have a negative view of Congress and a May 2006 Gallup poll indicates that 83% of Americans consider corruption a serious issue.

Other Blacks on the list include Rep. William Jefferson, D-Louisiana.

Of the 20 “most corrupt,” two are Black, three are Democrats, and 17 are Republicans, including Federal Marriage Amendment supporters Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pennsylvania and Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colorado.

What is she hollerin' about!

I had not seen a picture of Maxine Waters recently, and I had forgotten how sad and forelorn she looks. Either she is very unhappy, or she is constipated...perhaps both.

For a bunch of voters to continually elect somebody like her tells me all I need to know about the voters from her area.

Charlie Rangel has better hair, too.
