The accountable GOP

Ever notice how when Republicans cross the line of ethical behavior, the party confers and the person in question steps down, aside or out of the way?

From the Watergate scandal of Richard Nixon to Trent Lott's fatal toast, the Republicans always do the right thing, the proper thing, the dignified thing. Even FEMA Director Michael Brown bowed out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. And of course even more recently, Rep. Tom DeLay announced that he would resign his seat and not seek reelection.

It doesn't matter with the Republican Party whether you are a congressman, a senator or the president -- if you cross the line, you fall on your sword.

Not so with the Democrats, however.

There's a reason the Republican Party has ruled the polls the past 12 years, and that reason is not likely to go unnoticed this election year.

1. I haven't seen the evil doers fall on any swords yet. If they do, I

will be the first to shout, "About time." How about the fact that there are not very many crooks in the Democratic Party. We are pretty rock solid most of the time.

2. The GOP Operates More Like the Mafia

the Enforcers persuade the wrong-doers to leave, or give them a helping push. Except for BushCo, which is the Mafia capo di tutti capi, and must therefore be brought down by outside means or by internal corruption and decay.
