Rodney Alexander's lie

[AnnInLa]

from www.mydd.com

From The Hill's E-News:

"After switching parties last summer, Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-La.) denied that GOP leaders offered him a spot on the coveted Appropriations Committee if he joined their ranks. A month later, Rep. Bob Beauprez (R-Colo.) refuted rumors that he was tendered a spot on the Ways and Means Committee as a reward for not launching a Senate bid.

Fast forward to this week -- when House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) unveiled committee assignments for the 109th Congress. Not surprisingly, Alexander landed a spot on Appropriations and Beauprez secured a Ways and Means seat. Look for politicians to continue denying these kinds of deals are made even though they are commonplace on Capitol Hill."

Can you believe this? I remember a time when public liars were disgraced....in the GOP they are rewarded. Up is down, black is white, lies are good.

1. WOW!

Thanks for that info AnnInLa

I've been very interested in the Party switcher's story. I'll need time to process this. I found the state party's handling of the Alexander mess to be disgraceful.

What could we do to ensure this type of thing doesn't continue to happen?

2. what could we do?

Well, what can we do about any of these blatant lies the repukes tell? Practically, probably write letters to all LA newspapers....picket his local office....hell, I don't know. I think I give up. How do you fight when people don't care anymore?

the GOP and all it's co-conspirators are currently above the law and untouchable in some ways.

it's very frustrating.
