And she’ll NEVER step down, regardless of how bad her ethics problems become.

Remember, Maxine, “It’s not the nature of the evidence, Its the seriousness of the charge” that matters.

and if that thought does not scare the public away from the thought of ever giving the Democrats a majority again, I don’t know what will.

This would be the BEST reason to vote for whichever Republican ends up running against Obama, no matter WHO it is! We cannot let the Democrats retain the Presidency, and we need to retain control over the House of Representatives, as well. It would be disastrous to allow the Dems to have the majority in Congress, again, with folks like Maxine Waters in line for Chairmanships!

Maxine Waters is living proof of why Literacy Tests not only should be legal, but mandatory. Not only for Voters but for every Politician seeking office. Even those running for Dog Catcher.

Waters’s attorneys have asked for the charges against her to be dismissed, but to me that is doubtful--in this political firestorm of times and not factored in was Barney Frank leaving which even puts more pressure or publicity on Maxine and Billy Martin who has to report back to the Ethics Committee by Jan. 2., The trial postponed from 2010 when the “secret panel's” two staffers were dismissed after having improperly communicated with Republicans=chairman Bonner.

I am sure Barney gave Mad Maxine the heads up before he left, and Maxine quickly realized her time has REALLY come to fall under the political spotlight and be potentially pegged as another corrupt Democrat or politician. Congress approval rating subterranean. But personally, the rehashing of her husband's role as member of the OneUnited Bankbank's board of directors and owning mol $350,000 in bank stock.And, of course, their Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac involvement etc.

She also would be in the Minority IF she gets the post and I doubt that she will because of her soon to be regurgitated "ethics history". Remember Pelosi is just in the Minority-House. Maybe Mad Maxine stood a chance in 2010, but as they say "time is of the essence" and changes got slimmer as time passed on and the political environment tested: UGLY.

Frank quits[cause it's too hard to get TO KNOW new people in his redistricting] and Gonzalez (D-Texas) haS announced he won't seek reelection come '12. 17 Dems won't be seeking a new term. 8 of those 17 Democrats are seeking other offices. Nine Democrats quitting outright. How many more to follow is the question.

Cain's ongoing battle which is typical Chicago politics[Obama vs. Jack Ryan and actress ex-wife who refused to play family smear politics] helps smoke screen the trials and tribulations the Left is having. Meanwhile, Obama just stays "gone..gone..gone" or "on tour" like a Tiger Woods.

Maxine plays "street politics"--what's 'one apple off the apple cart' mentality or 'screw the man before he can screw you' mentality. [can I say screw?]

I am not doubting you about the corruptness of Maxine; however, you missed my point. She is also not very mentally resourceful, so she would likely not cover her tracks like BFer did.
