So that's kind of interesting - the 8/7 ratio is very close the same ratio of the entire house. Corruption knows no party.

I don't think even the hard cores in each party would have disputed that.

I don't feel like looking it up...what kind of scandal has McConnell been tied to to have him listed there?

"Sen. McConnell’s ethics issues stem primarily from (1) earmarks he inserted into legislation for clients of his former chief of staff in exchange for campaign contributions and (2) the misuse of his nonprofit McConnell Center for Political Leadership at the University of Louisville."

 

from that link.

yep.

I think that's why I get so aggravated around here: there's post after post after post about the nonsense one party does, and yet, most are so blinded to the fact that their party is just as bad if not worse then the other. It makes people appear really shallow.
