Integrity. Lets get some. As a raging post-structuralist I stay away from dissecting national politics because i disagree with the entire idea of a national government. But I digress. So here we are amid congressional corruption on all sides and it seems that my fellow lefties have a little problem. We are a bit partisan.
See, we have no problem telling you how W. not only stole two elections with the help of die-bold and how Santorum is secretly running a legalized bribery ring or the fact that Republicans have systematically raped the countries poor and disenfranchised. Despite our ability to speak with out a filter we can't discipline our own.
Yes we are fantastic at trying to get rid of Lieberman and pointing out how Rodham has somehow moved from socializing medicine to holding hands with Newt. But you can't seem to tackle the little problem we have brewing in Louisiana.
It's time to get rid of Rep. Jefferson. Sure that 90k found wrapped in tinfoil in a freezer at his house might not be a bribe, but frankly I don't care. If we can mount primary challenges against Lieberman we can surely get a non corrupt member of congress elected in a district that needs a honest broker to protect it.
We need to act like human beings and help the people of his district get a honest advocate in Washington. So where are the Act Blue pages? Where are the diaries of outrage that Jefferson would turn his back on his constituency, his party and his country?
