The only person to vote against Ethics Reform in the House...

DAN BURTON

This is the guy who feels that a consensual ** is worthy of impeachment.

What a moran!

3. Are you surprised by this???

I loved how, during the impeachment, Bill Clinton was the Devil himself for his tryst with Monica.

Then, when people pointed out Dan Burton's affair and his lovechild, suddenly THEY were "Taking political cheapshots".

If he wasnt sitting in the most Republican district in Indiana (can you IMAGINE how Red that must be), he'd have been tossed long ago.

From one Hoosier to another Dan, YOU'RE A DOUCHEBAG!

5. Not really. Indiana is scary.

My brother is out there and I am concerned for him. Everyone in his area (eastern part of the state) is very, very red. I can see how Dan is reelected all the time.

7. (lol!) I thought I was the only one to avoid Indiana that much.

While Indianapolis and Bloomington are within spitting distance of sane, there's gotta be something in the water or air (prions?) that make people sociopathic in that state.

8. The Klan was huge in Indiana.

Saw it on the History Channel.

"Nationally, Indiana was said to have the most powerful Ku Klux Klan. Though it counted a high number of members statewide, its importance peaked in the 1924 election of Edward Jackson for governor."

10. I spent a weekend with a family in south eastern Indiana

They were staunch Republicans. Their kids ran wild. There was open drinking and drugs. The noise went on until 3 or 4 in the morning. There was no supervision of the kids. Guns were easily accessible to the kids.

All the kids were obese, all used cigarettes, and all had foul mouths.

There was one almost fine moment when the father took us down to a stream on the edge of his property. It was beautiful. He threw his empty beer can into it.

The food? meat, fat, and sugar. No fresh vegetables just canned and overcooked green and orange matter.

I was glad to get home.

14. The people I saw were the Fundy types.

No drinking or partying for them. They were James Dobson / Jerry Falwell types.

11. Why in Jebus would ANYONE vote against it? It doesn't DO anything!

The bill sounds great on paper so the politicians can crow about it but doesn't really do anything to cut lobbyist/politician ties. They can still fundraise all they want and neither side has any real interest in MEANINGFUL campaign reforms.

The man HAS to be loony tunes for voting against something as benign as this.
