He was also forced to lie repeatedly to his constituents, his peers and the people. Which may never be interpreted in and of itself as cowardice, lack of ethics or being easily manipulated.  No one should lose their job simply for being dishonest to their co-workers and clients. That's simply crazy talk. Party over ethics every time is a lesson we should all learn from the Teabaggers... |
