What question, they have no ethics or honesty. There is no question.
But the current polls indicate that the broader American public are starting to notice.
A majority of Americans say the indictment of senior White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby signals broader ethical problems in the Bush administration, and nearly half say the overall level of honesty and ethics in the federal government has fallen since President Bush took office, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News survey.
The poll, conducted Friday night and yesterday, found that 55 percent of the public believes the Libby case indicates wider problems "with ethical wrongdoing" in the White House, while 41 percent believes it was an "isolated incident." And by a 3 to 1 ratio, 46 percent to 15 percent, Americans say the level of honesty and ethics in the government has declined rather than risen under Bush.
Lets see; We have one White House aid indicted, The investigation will continue focusing on another aid, and maybe the sitting Vice President. The Leaders of the Republicans in the house has been indicted, and the Leader of the republicans in the Senate is under investigation. Two Republican party workers are found guilty for election crimes, and the party has paid close to a million in legal fees defending another in the same case. The republican party in Ohio has cost the people of the state tens of hundreds of millions of dollars in poor investments with major election contributors. Some of those same contributors then gave hundreds of thousands of dollars of that money back to the Bush camp. The republican Kentucky governor has had to pardon over ten people in the party or his administration to keep them out of jail for partisan activity, and a California congressman took millions in bribes from a defense contractor in return for votes.
and that is just off the top of my head, I know I have missed quite a few more.
Corruption, Corruption everywhere, how could they not notice ?

You know it really makes me sad that when you believe that lying and fact twisting is a part of one political party as if it was a characteristic of only one. The entire Clinton administration and its putting us in harms way by ignoring the bad guys in the world, working for their own personal gain at the exspense of others, the thievery of Dan Rostenkowski. The debacle in Washington State and the history of voter fraud, the physical violence and intimidation of over the top union goons at polling places are evidence of chicanery and out and out evil by democratic sympathizers. Remember there are only two tents of political thought open to people in this country. You are obviously under the one with the Bolsheviks and they are not exactly the nicest people with a friendly disposition. We are getting more uncivil toward each other and the sooner the Republicans start to face the reality of who the liars really are and the meanness of their lying they will take the gloves off and it ain't going to be friendly when independents realize how vicious the Democratic propaganda machine works. The republicans are still amateurs when it comes to lying. I was pretty much an independent until I started listening to the lies about minor things blown way out of proportion and when weapons of mass destruction was something that George Bush invented and we all know that four years earlier these were issues discussed by the previous administration. Bush at least has done something about the constant violations by Saddam. You are preaching to your own choir and looking foolish to everyone else. I wonder what your motives are or are you really that ignorant of your surroundings
Makes us wish for the good, old days of Clinton, when corruption, venality, back-stabbery, unending lies to protect one's own ass, daily indictments and umpteen other salacious scandals broke on a too-regular basis. But we heard very little about them because Bill Clinton is an abortion-supporting liberal Democrat and by definition, can do no wrong. Bush and Company, on the other hand, is a Republican who believes in protecting America from its enemies, and that makes everything he does repugnant to an intellectually-lazy, vitriolic segment of our society who, God only knows why, are allowed the vote to choose our leaders. I really think that if you don't work your ass off every day, you ought not have a say in our government. That cuts out about 50% of those who voted in the 2004 elections.
anon,
I reread John's post and nowhere does he intimate that this is strictly a Republican problem. If you read liberal blogs at any length you will find that we are just as harsh with the Democrats.
"Remember there are only two tents of political thought open to people in this country. You are obviously under the one with the Bolsheviks and they are not exactly the nicest people with a friendly disposition."
Grow up. There are more than two political parties in this country. Most of us on the liberal side of the aisle are unhappy with both of the major parties. And you think the Democratic propoganda machine is vicious? They have nothing on Karl Rove's abilities.
Your entire post is pathetic and out of touch. If you really want to know more about the lives of people who "work their asses off" read Nickel and Dimed. These people have more of a right to determine our country's future than any CEO.
Finally, why hide behind the pseudonym Anonymous?
I love the excuse machine of the right. But but but but
What about Clinton?
Why do you think stealing hundreds millions of dollars is the same as lying about a blow job why would anyone conside treason, bribe acceptance, election stealing or just gross incompetence the same as trying to hide cheating in a marriage?
but we still hear it what about Clinton.
Where here do you see anyone defending him?
The current versions of Republicans are true scum, and those defending them are worse
Don't forget Ralph Reed, pretending to oppose gambling while taking scads of gambling money . . .
