The Reality of the Young Sentinel's Great Purge

by RealistGuy

Democrats have the numbers in the house, but the senate is a different story. We have seen that even 58 seats is not enough to effectively push through President Obama's agenda. So it is much easier for Speaker Pelosi to "walk the walk" than it is for Sen. Reid. You are correct when you say that any member of congress who has an ethical violation should be expelled, but don't expect it to happen. Sen. Reid would never expel a Democratic senator, especially when the majority barely passed their first test. The majority needs as many votes as it can get, especially since more emergency legislation will soon come before the congress. For example, Sen. Burris lied about important information regarding his dealings with the former Illinois Governor, but I doubt major disciplinary action will be taken by the majority leader. Unfortunately, the number of votes Sen. Reid needs to push through the President's agenda, trumps better ethical standards.
