Well, America, you got played

I have to link to Gateway Pundit on this one. While the post is specifically about the Tim Mahoney scandal, I have a more global point to make

Check out Mahoney's TV ad; the one where he proclaims that he is "keeping Congress clean"

Folks, Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel played us for a bunch of rubes in the last election.

Now, did we deserve our shellacking?, sure we did . But let's look at the facts.

The Democrats ran against the fiscal imprudence of the Bush administration and the lack of ethics in Washington. And what did they do-----spend money even faster and become even more ethically obtuse than the last crowd running Capitol Hill.  John Doolittle using lobbyist money to pay spouse; meet Speaker Pelosi.

Worst of it, they knew that's what they were going to do and simply scammed the angry voters into blaming it all on the Republicans.   They were going to pass a law or too they'd promptly ignore and start looting Washington themselves.

And ethics? Hey they think that's just a lever to get those faith based voters bitter at the Republicans long enough to vote for Democrats who will enact a secular agenda. 

Rahm Emanuel recruited Mahoney to run in this district and had an opportunity to knew Tim Mahoney's character or lack thereof. My guess is he knew he was a sleaze from the word go and fell on the floor laughing he had scammed the voters of Florida.  

So, what about this year?

America sees Barack Obama promising to "cut taxes for 95% of America".  It's a seductive promise, but one no more grounded in reality than Mahoney's ethics agenda.  

Neither are the claims by congressional Democrat challengers that they will "fix Washington". More support for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid is going to fix what, exactly? 

Tim Mahoney is a window into the soul of the Democratic Party---a party that will say anything to gain power and then once it has it, use it to the detriment of the voters whom they scammed into gaining the power.

I hope Americans hear the theme song from CSI when they vote November 4.
