Isn't it nice how the Republicans ALWAYS eat their own when there's ever any whiff of a potential problem. We ditch our relationships, apparently, to prevent any of it from rubbing off on the rest of us.
Conversely, the Democrats always rally around their members whenever there's a scandal.
That's one reason we're always accused of being ineffective.
As a follow-up, one of the best Congressmen we've had in generations was forced out when we wouldn't stand behind him. The House still hasn't recovered from forcing out Newt Gingrich.
