More Ethics Trouble for Democrats
While Democrats insist they have some moral high ground on ethics, enter former Alabama Governor and current Alabama gubernatorial candidate Don Siegelman, a Democrat.
According to this story (and many others) from ABC, "A federal grand jury on Monday indicted former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former HealthSouth Chairman Richard Scrushy on more charges in a political corruption case.
The new indictment accuses Scrushy of paying off Siegelman for a seat on the state health regulatory board, and accuses both men of wielding improper influence over the board."
the story goes on . . . "The indictment claims Scrushy made "two disguised payments" totaling $500,000 to Siegelman in exchange for Siegelman appointing him to the state's Certificate of Need Review Board, which decides on hospital expansions."
We at Obey Out in no way mean to suggest that anything Dave Obey (or an overwhelming majority of Democrats) has done is illegal or unethical (though we do find it interesting Obey is attacking special interests when two out of every three of his campaign dollars comes from DC-based political action commitees and DC-based lawyers and lobbyists). What we do think is that the Democrats claims that they are a party full of ethical angels while Republicans are the so-called "culture of corruption party" is completely ridiculous, absurd and well, false.

The Democrats have ZERO credibility on this issue, and I believe that they are simply creating an anti-incumbent atmosphere in America, not a anti-Republican atmosphere, because their own house certainly isn't clean. This could really jump up and bite them.
