Ethics Problem With Another Democratic Leader

Last week I posted some of Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid's ethics problems. Today it looks like House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi has joined the fray. According to the National Legal and Policy Center:

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has fined two leadership PACs associated with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in response to a Complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) on October 25, 2002. The FEC also has fined three campaigns that failed to return excessive contributions from Pelosi’s PACs within 60 days, as required by law.

Under conciliation agreements reached with the FEC, Pelosi’s two committees — PAC to the Future and Team Majority — will pay $21,000.

NLPC Chairman Ken Boehm reacted by stating, “We are delighted that the FEC has acted favorably on our Complaint. No member of Congress has ever set up a second leadership PAC to evade contribution limits. Pelosi has been caught violating the clearest and most basic law of all, the limits on contributions. Talk about hypocrisy.”

Of course, this was Pelosi in 2002: “One threat to our Constitution, indeed to our participatory democracy, is the role of the special interest money in the political process today.”

Gez it took them long enought to investigate it. Only two and a half years....

As a Californian, and an American, I can only say that Pelosi, and her Communist ilk (Progressive Caucus), are nothing but generic anti-American, law-breaking liberal socialists. What else needs to be said. After all, Bill Clinton was put in the White House..could it ever be any worse? Well, maybe I should not have asked that question...out of sheer fear of what could be. Glad to see this exposure of just more of what the "liberal leadership" is really made of.
