When someone is known to be truly corrupt, or scandalous, they are usually forced to resign or it’s taken care of in the primary. You can thank gerrymandering for that.

What do all those names have in common? They weren’t in Georgia.

Occasionally it happens: Dan Rostenkowski, Mark Foley, William Jefferson immediately come to my mind.

Sadly, Georgia is turning into Chicago or Louisiana. I’m not sure that ANY amount of corruption or scandal is enough to make people vote against party lines… it instead just becomes taken for granted as part of the culture.

I really enjoy politics, but God do I really hate political party affiliation.

I wonder if this story has a “happy ending’?

The problem is that, even if Richardson resigns, the matter of Republicans Members of the House and Senate cheating on their wives, is still alive and well and could further threaten to derail our “moral” agenda and Republican Majority.

Apparently some of the people in line behind Richardson have their own indiscretions, which, if they come to light, will only further add fuel to the fire and tarnish our party.

Additionally, what about the ethics process? It apparently is broken if this matter got completely swept under the rug. There needs to be an overarching investigation into the failure of the Joint Ethics Committee and it’s Chairman – Eric Johnson, to even hold a hearing or seek any evidence into this matter.

Really? So do you feel the same way about the national Democrats? How about the good ole days in Georgia of Tom Murphy running the show?
