Pete, while I don't always agree with all of your views, I do agree with your strong conviction of no person being above the law.
Huckabee did a very good segment the other night on tv about how many politicians and people in positions of power try and are able to circumvent the law.
No person is above the law and what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. This is not a thing about being a Republican or a Democrat; however it is turning out to be a Federal government turning into a mob (with a few honest hard working politicians trying to fight for what is right).
Pelosi and all of her crooked dealings is a fraud and a thief. If a person like me came anywhere near to what she has done with her contracts (one example -supporting her husband's businesses) I would be investigated immediately, found guilty, and thrown in jail! Then we have our Treasury Head, Timothy Geitner who knowingly did not file or pay taxes!! What the heck! Whether its a member of Congress playing footsie in a bathroom stall or a member or a member sleeping with their interns, it has got to stop. We have have members of Congress doing things not for their constituents but things to better the situations of their family and friends! We have members of Congress not listening to what their constituents really want, but voting the party line on everything.
Congress... we the people of this wonderful country our your boss.
Frank Kratovil, I beg you to please hold others accountable for all of their actions. They are not above the law and if they do something wrong they must be held accountable. You ran on a platform of "values that unite us", please show us this is true. Again this is not a matter of who is a Democrat or who is a Republican. This is a matter of what is right and what is wrong. Please be a man of honor and help bring honor back into our government. We may or may not agree with how you vote on things, but please show us that you have values that unite us and hold members in Congress accountable for their actions. We need full disclosures and investigations of where money is going and why it is really going there. We also need all members of Congress to be held accountable for all of their actions on everything. The Ethics Committee does not do crap.
No person is above the law. What is against the law is against the law. Everyday I hear how our system is becoming more corrupt and it is just sickening. I have traveled to many other countries and have been there for periods of time while working/conducting business. The government of some of these countries has gotten so bad that they often do not even try to hide any of their corruption. Government officials would literally take the cash right out of your pocket and put it into their own pockets. One country I was in, it was a common practice to physically bring a gift into the court for the judge. The nicer your gift the nicer your deal.
Our country's government has been going down the wrong path for a long time with how it has a blind eye to all of the wrong doings of some people but not others. Just as citizens are held responsible for everything we do, Congress needs to be held responsible for everything they do.
As a former Prosecutor, I am hoping and praying, that Kratovil you will speak up for us... what is wrong, is wrong for everyone.
