Comments on: More Corruption In Congress http://www.frcblog.com/2008/07/more-corruption-in-congress/ The Blog of Family Research Council Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:28:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Suricou Raven http://www.frcblog.com/2008/07/more-corruption-in-congress/comment-page-1/#comment-1164 Suricou Raven Fri, 01 Aug 2008 11:25:21 +0000 http://new.frcblog.agathongroup.com/?p=535#comment-1164 Cue the partisan attacks! Actually, no... surprisingly, I don't see any being made. That defies expectation. If not for the recent use of the '50%' statistic elsewhere, I would ask if the FRC is finally getting more responsible. Stevens is a Republican, but really both parties are terrible when it comes to taking lobbyist 'gifts', and to handing out earmarks, and espicially the use of dirty tricks like riders on must-pass bills to get their otherwise unpopular earmarks pushed through. It wouldn't be fair to say it's a republican thing when the next corruption scandle will as likely as not be a democrat. Cue the partisan attacks!
