Democrats a part of culture of corruption

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's description of the Republicans as a “culture of corruption” sounds hollow when compared to tax cheats William Jefferson, Tom Daschle, Charles Rangel and Tim Geithner. To say nothing of the Democrat legislative system of bribery, threats and ignoring Republican input, our Constitution, and the will of the American people – all conspired behind closed doors.
In addition, Pelosi called those concerned patriotic citizens who melded into what is called the Tea Party “un-American,” “Nazis” and “mobs.” Her corrupt psyche was revealed when she recently stated, “we need to pass the 2,700-page health care bill so you can find out what is in it.”
Also, consider Attorney General Eric Holder's attack on the CIA and our Navy SEALS while ignoring admitted terrorists and the proven shady conduct of ACORN.
Our president promised an administration void of lobbyists and one with C-SPAN oversight of legislation. We now know those promises weren't delivered.
America, there is only one reason Democrats in Congress and their president do not want you to know the details of their health care bill. It will grow government and diminish your freedoms. In other words, control.
Concerned citizens should be cognizant of the Cloward-Priven Strategy that deals with creating and managing crisis. This strategy is being used to dismantle our economy.
