Republican McCloskey:The Need for A Democrat Majority in the [View All]

[Stardust]

U.S. House of Representatives in 2007

"It has been difficult, nevertheless, to conclude as I
have, that the Republican House leadership has been so
unalterably corrupted by power and money that reasonable
Republicans should support Democrats against DeLay-type
Republican incumbents in 2006. Let me try to explain why.

I have decided to endorse Jerry McNerney and every other
honorable Democrat now challenging those Republican incumbents
who have acted to protect former Majority Leader Tom DeLay,
who have flatly reneged on their Contract With America promise
in 1994 to restore high standards of ethical behavior in the
House and who have combined to prevent investigation of the
Cunningham and Abramoff/Pombo/DeLay scandals. These Republican
incumbents have brought shame on the House, and have created a
wide-spread view in the public at large that Republicans are
more interested in obtaining campaign contributions from
corporate lobbyists than they are in legislating in the public
interest."
