Democrats Plan Scandal Offensive
Democrats Plan Scandal Offensive

House Democrats "plan to recycle their 'Culture of Corruption' slogan this week in an attempt to further tar congressional Republicans as scandals continue to plague the GOP," The Politico reports. "Democratic leaders hope this spring offensive puts Republicans on defense when the majority introduces a lobbying reform package early next month."

"Their most recent campaign targets a series of alleged misdeeds, including the controversy surrounding eight fired U.S. attorneys and the recent FBI raids of California Republican Rep. John Doolittle's home in Northern Virginia and a business associated with Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.)."

Said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL): "Our intention is to keep our foot on the gas as the party of reform."

4. Don't Forget Tom Feeney & Pete Domenici
Feeney = Abramoff

Sen Domenici = "fixing elections w/ U.S. Attorneys"

Rep. Heather Wilson = "fixing elections w/ U.S. Attorneys"

6. And the GOP have started their scandal offensive
They started their own investigation of the scandal. The guy they put in charge of this investigation is the guy who tore apart all whistleblower protections and the guy who threw civil rights protections out the window.

That guy is Rove's go-to guy.

see this thread

Basically this guy will say everything in the AG's office is on the up and up and the Democrats are all full of beans. Case closed. Go away.

and cue in the ad Rush's whine: "Why is it that always when people ask for someone to resign it's a republican? (this way, they say it, not us)

8. When Kerry, Moakley, Gonzalez pummeled Bush1 throughout his entire term and

the public broke trust with Poppy Bush - they worked constantly to expose crimes of office to the American public.

Clinton was able to win because those Dems in Congress would not take their boots off Poppy's throat.

When Kerry ran, we had Dem leaders palling around with and polishing the Bush legacy while they supported Bushboy's military strategies - and NO investigations darkened Bushboy's door.
