Growin' Some

Take a look at our congressional leaders, Senator Reid and Congresswoman Pelosi, laying out the charges against the corrupt Republican leadership in Congress. Don't forget, the [R]'s are the ones who promoted the Contract with on America, promising high ethical standards, fair debates, and term limits - which they promptly dropped once they were entrenched in power.

What the DeLay/Frist faction of Radical Republicans* is doing:

• abusing their majority power in managing the business of Congress
• usurping and threatening the impartial role of judges in our democracy (update 4/14: "no man no problem" audio - despicable. -Z)
  
• invading the private lives of individual citizens solely for political gain
• catering to the rich at the expense of the great middle class that has made this country what it is today

They have forgotten everything they stood for in that electoral revolution just one decade ago, and have proven again the undeniable truth of this saying:

absolute power corrupts absolutely

* - Harry Reid is using this a lot lately, and we should all use it constantly to refer to our "friends" on the right. It is true.
