Moral AND Ethical Corruotion : Democrats Vote Against Murtha Investigation :

Is this a surprise to anyone? Democrats voting to protect corrupt members of their party, Murtha or William Jefferson to mention just a few, but attacking, in mass, when a Republican does the 'toe tap' or tells a joke about another member at a party, or uses a long forgotten word, 'makaka', that the liberals and the press put on the front pages of every publication in the country for weeks until that member had to resign his position.

What about Diane Feinstein directing millions of military contracts to her husband's company as she sat on the apparitions committee for military spending? Nobody cared - corruption? Of course, but they are Democrats, so it's okay. The bigger the corruption the better it will look on their resume.

After all, if a Democrat wants to run for high office and has no history of corruption, the rest of the party will think they are Republicans in disguise.

There are two standards for all of us to observe - one that allows the liberal to do and say anything about their enemy that will destroy them no matter how untrue, and one for all the rest of us - that is, we are to be seen and not heard. Just vote liberal and shut up! Remember what Barack said,"we won so we will do what ever we want". And they are!

Top Democrats Fight Push for Murtha Probe

Democratic leaders in Congress are pressuring newer members of the House not to back a resolution by Rep. Jeff Flake calling for an ethics investigation involving Rep. John Murtha.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, assistant to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, sent an e-mail to staffers for first-and second-term Democrats with the subject line: "Don't be a Flake."

The message said Democrats would again be voting to table another Flake resolution and warned that leadership "would have its eyes on any Democrat even thinking about defecting," Politico reports.

Flake, an Arizona Republican, wants an ethics investigation into the relationships that Pennsylvania Democrat Murtha and other veteran Democratic legislators had with the PMA Group.

The offices of PMA, a military-oriented lobbying firm, were raided by the FBI in November. The New York Times reported that investigators were looking for evidence that PMA made illegitimate campaign contributions to Murtha.

PMA allegedly directed tens of millions of dollars in contributions to lawmakers while steering hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarked contracts back to PMA clients.

Murtha, chairman of the Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, earmarked millions of dollars for the Electro-Optics Center at Penn State University, which then rerouted the money to clients of PMA, according to Politico.

As the House prepared to vote on Flake's resolution, House Minority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina sent an e-mail warning Democrats: "If the Flake resolution is referred to the Ethics Committee, members can expect attack ads to be run against them alleging members to be 'under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.'"

On Tuesday, Democrats did again vote overwhelmingly to table Flake's resolution. But 29 Democrats — the highest number yet — voted in favor of the measure, providing "further evidence of a generational divide that's pitting newer House members who want to 'drain the swamp' against veteran members who don't want to see their colleagues investigated," Politico observed.

The newer Democrats reportedly are concerned about appearing hypocritical for vowing during the campaign to clean up Congress and then declining to do so once in office.
