LIE OF THE WEEK: 02-15-2008
U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader John Boehner on walking out on a vote to hold members of the Bush Administration in contempt of congress for failing to respond to subpoenas:
"We will not stand here and watch this floor be abused for pure political grandstanding at the expense of our national security."
THE TRUTH: If anyone is grandstanding, it is the Republicans who walked out on a vote that they were going to lose anyway. They are foolishly defending a corrupt secretive administration whose mistakes are rightfully being exposed by congress. Unfortunately, any hope of the American public voting based on their conservative values are being thrown away by the actions of these Washington Republicans. This is because the public will always vote for the opposition party just to reduce the stench of corruption in Washington until the conservatives can bring them a new leader who stands for their values without the taint of past misdeeds.
