Another Big Difference

When DeLay was indicted the GOP changed the rules so that he could stay on all his committees. Previously, by law anyone under indictment could not sit on committees. The Democrats actually deal with their members when corruption arises. The GOP just encourages more corruption.

The House Democratic caucus voted tonight to strip Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) of his seat on the Ways & Means Committee. Jefferson is currently under criminal investigation for allegedly accepting bribes to help a technology company win several contracts and business deals. He had been asked to voluntarily give up the seat but refused.
