Until a house member resigns in protest I will not believe any of them are decent people
Mama always told me not to be a quitter, but I'll email Barney Frank straight away and demand he resign.
It's a neighborly day in this beautywood. Relentless!

How about voting for the War Profiteering Act?
Does that meet your purity test?
Governance for sustenance.

i'm sure they got a good laugh out of the war profiteering act at Halliburton.
hasn't war profiteering always been illegal?

The bill makes war profiteering – overcharging in order to defraud or profit excessively from war, military action, or reconstruction efforts – a felony subject to up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $1 million or twice the illegal profits of the crime. It confers jurisdiction to U.S. federal courts to hear such cases no matter where they might occur.

this has always been illegal. As has warrantless wiretapping, torture, etc, etc.
They are passing a bill saying this is illegal when it already was. How about they investigate the missing nine billion?
Or maybe they could condemn moveon's ad again.
