Does everyone remember the GOP’s “Contract with America” from their 1994 takeover of Congress? You know, the one where they proposed to “restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives” and promised to bring about “the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public's money.” The best part was when they pledged:
To restore accountability to Congress. To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves.
In 1994, the GOP opposed corruption; in 2006, they epitomize it.
Throw them all out.
