The Democrats are killing themselves in the long run by letting Rangel and Murtha not only remain Congressmen (no one can stop that), but stopping all investigations into their wrongdoing and electing them into positions of enormous power...we'll get our own Abramoff scandal soon enough.
True. I totally agree.
What is it about decorated war heroes? No one can deny that Duke Cunningham, Charlie Rangel and Jack Murtha laid it on the line for their country when the time came. Ted Stevens, too, for that matter. Do they feel they are exempt or owed something?
Of course, there are plenty of other war heroes who never broke the law (at least not in any serious way). Think of Bob Dole, John Kerry, George H.W. Bush, Max Cleland, Jack Reed, Tom Ridge, etc.
