Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption - Dianne Wilkerson

Posted by Moonage on 29 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

This one is precious.  First, we start with the evidence:
When it gets real fun is when you read her rap sheet.  She’s already in trouble for lying under oath to protect her nephew on manslaughter charges, tax evasion in the 90’s, and not reporting donations.  Apparently the people of her district tired of her shenanigans [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption: Rangel edition

Posted by Moonage on 16 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

Charlie Rangel, who everyone has to love, is in a little trouble with the IRS, and possibly the FBI I would imagine.  The FBI just usually sort of comes along with the IRS.  Here’s the abbreviated list of what he’s in some doo-doo over:

Rangel’s papers over the past 10 years show no reference to the [...]

Pelosi’s off-shore drilling “compromise”

Posted by Moonage on 11 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics, Oil Policy, Oil Supply

Now, according to what I’m reading, Nancy Pelosi has agreed to consider an off-shore drilling proposal presented by Democrats.  I’m sure she’ll tout this as a major new idea and an example of the failed economic policies of Bush.
However, it’s got thorns attached.  From what I’m reading, and I’ve not read the actual proposals:

No Gulf [...]

Media Double standard?

Posted by Moonage on 03 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, The Media

Several in media have been insinuating that there might be a double standard at play regarding Sarah Palin.  Let’s see.  We’ve had a couple of very recent events to compare.  So, let’s do, shall we?

John Edwards ran for President as recently as early this year. He ran on ethics primarily.  He lost but maintained a [...]

Nancy Pelosi continues to clean up DC

Posted by Moonage on 28 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

Clearly invigorated by the wave of popular support behind her efforts to clean up the Republicn Party, Nancy Pelosi has apparently set her eyes on her own party finally.  To this end, she replaced John Edwards‘ speech at the Democrat National Convention with Bill Clinton.

Kentucky governor completely ignores state constitution

Posted by Moonage on 17 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

Last year Kentucky elected a new governor to replace the one we had. The one we had had been accused of inappropriate hiring practices. That never was resolved since the person making the charges decided to drop the charges so he could run for governor, and lose.
So, Kentucky ( not me ) elected a guy [...]

Hillary Clinton and the rules

Posted by Moonage on 15 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

Hillary Clinton had a fundraiser hosted by Sir Elton John.  It went well, raising a couple of million dollars.  It should have, Sir Elton has quite a bit of money and hangs around people with a lot of money as well.  Only problem is, someone had a problem with it:

Judicial Watch has filed a complaint [...]

No more corruption in Kentucky?

Posted by Moonage on 18 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics, US Regional Politics

The entire time Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher was in office, Attorney General Greg Stumbo dogged him about hiring people based on political patronage.  Stumbo even went so far as to file corruption charges and seat a grand jury before dropping the charges so that he could run for governor himself.  People of Kentucky bought into [...]

Democrats yank border security from defense bill

Posted by Moonage on 08 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics, Legislative Process, Media

During the last few years one of the main political footballs has been national security.  Due to many Democrats’ strong anti-war rhetoric, the Republicans accused many Democrat candidates of being soft on security.  And, the Democrats kept shooting back that they weren’t.  Well, here’s what’s happening now that the Democrats are in charge of national [...]

That gunslinging Nancy Pelosi

Posted by Moonage on 15 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics, International Issues, International Politics

When the Democrats were in the minority, they badgered Bush to death as being a shoot from the hip cowboy ready to take aim at anyone that he had an issue with.  The difference now it seems is the Democrats are pretty much in the same boat, except there’s no logic to who they’re shooting [...]
