House of Representative Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, have blocked, for the eighth time this year, a largely Republican effort to launch an ethics investigation into campaign finance irregularities.
Three House Democrats, John Murtha (D-PA), Jim Moran (D-VA), and Peter Visclosky (D-IN) are under scrutinuy for the millions of dollars their campaigns received from companies and lobbyists that they steered lucrative federal contracts to. I don't know much about Moran or Visclosky, but Murtha has been embroiled in kickbacks, payoffs, and shakedowns for many years, even being caught on tape by the FBI trying to extort money in exchange for political favors.
Murtha is a Pelosi lap dog. There is no way she will allow any inquiry into his actions to take place. Why is she blocking? If they are innocent, then the Democrat run ethics committee will exonerate them and clear the matter up. But, they are guilty, everyone knows it, and the only way to keep them in Congress and out of jail is to keep the investigation from happening at all.
Where is all the B.S. from the Dems about the Republican Culture of Corruption, their key talking point during the 2006 Congressional elections? Don't hear much from them now about that, do we?
Oh, by the way ... this is the same John Murtha who accused our Marines, in print and on video, or rape and murder in Iraq. The same John Murtha who refuses to apologize now that those Marines have been proven innocent of any wrongdoing.
