Republicans Block Congressional Ethics Reform Bill

Again the real Republican agenda becomes clear as they blocked any chance of ethic reform this session. The only way they will let the ethics bill pass is with the poison pill amendment giving Bush a line-item veto.

The Republican reliance on graft, corruption and illegal contributions would dry up under such reforms and so, naturally, they oppose it or anything resembling it. So next time you hear a Neocon or any other kind of Republican complain about special interests controlling Washington, remind them that they are the problem. They are the roadblock to honest government. They are the chief offenders, otherwise they would support reform and honesty in government.
