I'm kind of hoping someone will spearhead efforts to get out the information about the shady politicians because I really don't know, except for the few that have been big news since the 60 Minutes thing on insider trading. I haven't even watched that yet. Maybe I need to start doing the research myself. Not my idea of fun, but I do have extra time these days now that I'm limiting my contribution to the federal budget.

Perhaps a place to start is to ask our extreme right and left members about who is corrupt? Each side would only likely put up the corruption from the other side, but it would give us a place to start right?

Most all politicians are as crooked as a barrel of snakes. I can think of 1 that isn't but I am not sure about him. There are more than inside trading here and I think that is small stuff for most of them. Finding stuff about congressmen and proving it are two things. They wright most laws with loopholes in it for them. I am for term limits no matter if they prove to be good. That way they don't owe anybody for the first term and the second they will probity vote for their constituents instead of what the lobbyist want them to.
