Have Republicans completely forgotten about the ethics violations their own party members have committed?

Ethics and politicians - now there is a contradiction in terms. What is lost in your question is the fact that voters - regardless of party, are being disrespected by those who flaunt the rules. I don't care about who did what to whom and for how much, I just want them all to stop doing it, be accountable and - most importantly, inject some honesty back into the process. Voters are getting a raw deal from these political bandits. We do have greater problems and, most are caused by the very politicians we vote into office. Enough is enough.
