In a surprise move, House Republicans today decided to completely flipflop on their proposed ethics rules changes (see this post). They even went as far as to take back the change they about a month ago to allow leaders to keep their positions while under indictment.
Obviously, these guys were trying to protect their own asses by changing the rules and their constituents gave them an earful over it so their backing off. Truly pathetic. They should be loudly called out for this hypocrisy.
Oh, and they also had to make sure not to give the Democrats any ammunition. These guys would gladly even sacrifice DeLay to push their agenda forward and turn this country into a truly awful, awful place.
Keep in mind that these were proposed ethics changes. Their willingness to change, and then change back, depending on the current political winds demonstrates, yet again, that they don't have a clue what the word means.
