Are there any honest politicians out there? The answer is a resounding NO! What happened today in the House of Representatives just proves my point. This thing is about the sage of a New York representative by the name of George Santos.
George Santos was elected to Washington two years ago with a resume that was full of lies and untruths. His academic, professional and family background were all fakes. Nothing he claimed was true and in addition he supposed to do some bad credit card thing and spent campaign money on himself. Things are so bad that right now he is being charged in New York federal court. He naturally, denies any wrongdoing.
In Congress there were movements to have him expelled. One would think that the Representatives would agree that such a person should not sit amongst them. But that did not happen. He is a Republican and Republicans have a very thin majority therefore every vote was badly needed. Based on that he stayed all this time, until today. Today the House with 311 to 314 votes voted to expel him. His short lived political career is over for now.
Now, the New York governor will request e special election to fill the empty seat. Democrats are pushing and hoping that one of theirs will win and that way the Republican majority will be pretty slim.
My question is, what about those 114 representatives who voted for him to stay? Those people see nothing wrong of what he is charged with? Maybe because they are just as bad as he was? I still maintain that this is a House of Crooks. If 114 agree with a habitual liar and cheat and want to keep him in their midst it is because they are all the same. This is a very sad situation and unfortunately politicking and self interest takes front row versus the interest of the people they supposed to represent.
I would love to say Good Country America, but I will skip it for now!
