Would you feel better if he shoved bamboo shoots under his fingernails?
Give the guy a break. He's an American hero. He's stepping down and that's the end of it.
Nope. He was an American hero.
He decided to stop being one when he decided to dip his nose into the same trough Hillary feeds from.
Please explain how his house deal is any different from Hillary's cattle futures deal.
Nope. I just want him gone.
Give the guy a break. He's an American hero. He's stepping down and that's the end of it.
His heroism is beyond question. But the statute of limitations has run out on that. And, lapse of time aside, all the heroism in the world does not excuse corruption, of which today's announcement was a tacit admission.
No good can come from Congressman Cunningham hanging onto his seat for another 18 months. His continued presence will be totally ineffective for his constituents, and worse, will serve as an excuse for the Dems to allege "Republican corruption."
Cunningham is in an utterly safe GOP district. He should step aside, and allow a new, and clean, Republican to begin building seniority.
There's an irony here. Cunningham won his seat in 1990, but redistricting posed major problems. So, in 1992, he switched districts, and forced a Republican incumbent out of the primary, after it was revealed that the incumbent was one of the few Republican House members who was writing hot checks in the House banking scandal.
Come on, San Diego! Can you, at long last, elect an honorable Representative?
Being an American hero is the reason he should not be given a break. Why is a break deserved for a hero who breaks a trust given to heros?
