[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1266538, member: 17969"] You forgot to mention another so cal congressman retiring this year. BUCK McKeon (R), who was CAUGHT in a bribery scandal and faced ethics charges has decided to retire and not seek re-election. McKeon who had recieved his bribes from countrywide for homes he purchased ( here in my town) pocketed thousands of dollars. Darryl Issa promised to prosecute all those responsible for these bribes, but McKeon escaped when the committee failed to hold him repsonsible. What else would we expect from the republicans who control the committee. The story.. Several Members of Congress were caught being bribed by Countrywide Financial with discount mortgages and waived fees. The poster boy in this scandal was Representative Howard “Buck” McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform conducted a nearly yearlong investigation resulting in this 135 page report. [media=youtube]id=h7HDmFmQRcw;t=104[/media] There is NOBODY who will miss Buck McKeon in my district. He would have been defeated anyways this year and before that happened, McKeon chose to leave before he was embarrassed. Again, another GOP gangster gets away with a crime and simply walks away. So much for ISSA's hound dog approach for justice. Later BUCK, i hope you go bankrupt like your business in town did. TOS. [/QUOTE]
