Bipartisan Reaping of What We've Sown ?

Letters to the Editor - Dallas Morning News

I guess the votes stand ...
It's one thing for Rep. Tom DeLay – and all the other representatives and senators – to give the money they got from lobbyist Jack Abramoff to various charities, but it's too late to take back the votes that dirty money bought.
And if you don't believe that lobby money buys votes, you are naïve beyond belief.

... but this time, a probe
Re: "Unchecked greed – It's high time to clean House – and Senate," Wednesday Editorials.
"[M]ake no mistake about it, this is by and large a Republican scandal." Maybe so. We'll see.
But note that this is a GOP administration and Justice Department going after this corruption.
By contrast, where was the Clinton Justice Department when campaign money was coming into Democrat coffers from China? That was never aggressively pursued, now was it? In fact, whatever happened with all that?
Nothing. Everyone involved fled the country. End of story.
That won't happen this time. And you can thank President Bush and the Republicans for that.
