The Dems had BETTER NOT WUSS OUT on ethics reform

The Fifth Labor of Heracles:
Cleaning the Augean Stables

now is the time, fellers (and ladies)... get your congressional asses in gear and start mucking out the augean stables... stewarding our country, serving as public servant role models, and presiding over the commonweal is what you are there for... (and, if you aren't familiar with that particular task of heracles, try wikipedia...)

None of the [ethics reform] measures would overhaul campaign financing or create an independent ethics watchdog to enforce the rules. Nor would they significantly restrict earmarks, the pet projects lawmakers can anonymously insert into spending bills, which have figured in several recent corruption scandals and attracted criticism from members in both parties. The proposals would require disclosure of the sponsors of some earmarks, but not all.

not acceptable, folks... we want something sweeping, something with teeth, something that's going to stop the massive flood of u.s. taxpayer money going into the pockets of the already super-rich and those of your esteemed colleagues (present company excepted, of course)...
