Most of these people are Democrats. Given what is going on with Representatives Murtha (D-PA) and Rangel (D-NY), possibly the two most prominent actors in the illegally-acting Democratic circus, and the?Center for Responsibility and Ethics?report that came out earlier this year going after 16 Members- 12 of whom were Democrats- perhaps 2010 would be a good time to turn the tide back to Republicans.

Of course, once the Republican inevitably start being this corrupt…let’s switch back to Democrats or independent candidates. A high turnover rate is a great way to keep Members of Congress a) honest, and b) from getting too powerful. It also indicates an electorate that pays attention to what’s going on in the halls of power.
