Freshman House Members Flood List of Most Corrupt Members of Congress; Buchanan, Vitter and Waters Lead Old Guard

More than 25% of federal lawmakers deemed “most corrupt” by a government watchdog group are brand new to Congress.

“The 2010 midterm elections swept in a large freshman class,” noted the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), “but certainly didn’t produce more ethical conduct.”

In its seventh report on congressional corruption, CREW named 19 members of Congress, including 14 (10 Republicans and four Democrats) whose actions violated the law or who otherwise engaged in serious misconduct.

Fourteen of the 19 members on the list also are new to it this year, and six of those members are also newbies in Congress.

2. Vern Buchanan Has ALWAYS Been A Crook! Not Even Sure He Won His FIRST

election! The one where 18,500 under votes went missing. Then he got elected AGAIN! A very corrupt car dealer with many, many lawsuits!

I can't even call him about anything... I'm a KNOWN Democrat and HE dismisses us.

3. New to Congress but not new to politics...

Certain politicians are recruited in order to serve very particular interests so it's not surprising that a "newbie" would be corrupt.
