So the next thing I assume I'll be hearing from Republicans, they want to change rules some way, as they do on the House when you get a problem with ethics, they just change the rules.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ethics are a key issue, and they're a key issue on the Democratic side, and all people have to be held to high standards.
Republicans are right to express concern about excessive regulation, and they can do a lot to reduce it, above all by scrutinizing rules on the books and by putting all new proposals through a cost-benefit filter. There's room for plenty of creativity here.
I'm a Conservative. I don't believe there should be too many rules. There should be lower taxes.
As we enter into the 110th Congress, it is imperative that we address ethics reforms needed to make this institution run correctly.
What's troubling is that the Republicans to defend Mr. DeLay are weakening the ethics process.
Now it's time to focus on basics for people in our neighborhoods... and real ethics reform at City Hall.
Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.
The Office of Congressional Ethics was created to provide more transparency in the House of Representatives. It was a commendable goal.
If Republicans want to bring these things up for a vote, I'm letting them know where I stand.
I don't think there's anything in the compromise that means that there's a clash of ethics.
