Democrats Smell Blood

Democrats are smelling blood as Jack Abramoff has made a plea deal with the DOJ. As the DOJ extends its investigations into legistlators and their staff the Democrats see as an opportunity to use ethics as a campaign issue.

One word of warning about this tactic for the Democracts. Thirteen members of Congress (all Democrats) voted against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. They fought this saying that personal ethics had no bearing on his job. While the context of then and now is different, in an election fact doesn't override public opinion. Using ethics as a campaign issue coul be a slippery slope.

Those who are guilty should be prosecuted. Republicans and Democrats alike need to be held accountable for their actions. What is just as important as the investigation is what legistlators are doing to prevent this from happening again.
