Ask the Democrats?

Our beloved Speaker of the House, J. Dennis Hastert yesterday asked that democrats also be investigated about what they knew in the Foley scandal. Amazing how the poster boy of scandal points the finger at anyone else. But we all know when you point, three fingers are pointing back at yourself.

Kirk Fordham, formerly a long-serving top aide to Foley, resigned from his current job as chief of staff to another top Republican congressman yesterday, saying he didn't want to hurt his boss in a tight re-election race. But on his way out the door, Fordham took a serious shot at Hastert, saying that he met with the speaker's powerful chief of staff, Scott Palmer, several years ago to ask him to rein in Foley's "way too friendly" behavior with pages. In a statement, Palmer said the meeting "did not happen." The WP's story details the many discrepancies between Hastert's version of events and nearly everyone else's.

Oooh, he said/you said. I think the consensus in Washington will be to sweep this under the carpet as quickly as possible - just ask the Party Players to lose it in committee.

Now, if you are tired of the corruption and inside deals. If you have had enough of the shenanigans being pulled on the People. If you are sick of business as usual and supporting the status quo you can make a change.

A vote for John Laesch is a place to start. John does not support the status quo. As a matter of fact if you want to find a candidate that stands in opposition to locksteppers Mr. Bush and Mr. Hastert, he's your man.


A vote for John Laesch is a vote for integrity.

A vote for honesty.

A vote for change.
