   In that case, you’ll recall that Pelosi’s office and Democratic Rep. Barney Frank’s office had both been told by Massa’s top aides of the out-of-control abuse of underlings — but said and did nothing for months.

   More part of the problem… Whn you have long-time Congressmen running the show who themselves have ethics problems out the wazoo, one can only expect more of the same.

   It seems that once they entrench themselves they (and that goes for the majority of Congress critters across the political spectrum) believe they are above the law.

   Take for example when “Cold Cash” Jefferson had his Congressional offices searched. The outrage by many members of Congress (to include the Speaker of the House at the time Dennis Hastert along with Pelosi)was not what was found, but that the FBI dared to search a Congressional office.

   Time for a term limit ammendment as well as a balanced budget ammendment.

    Pelosi aside, this wacky-wu is from the very liberal Portland area. The stories trickled out slowly after the election in November with absolutely no calls for investigation,resignation or further reporting by the very liberal Oregonian.
    The Oregonian just called for his resignation yesterday. Yesterday. This crazy band of apologists are completely at fault for this wacky man’s win in November. Despite the fact that he is a Dem in Oregon, he never should have won (kind of like Obama) if the press was doing it’s job.
    Although he should resign, I really don’t see the point. He fits in just perfectly with the Dems in DC. Just hide your children.

DeFazio didn’t vote for the stimulus, he said it didn’t go far enough…that’s politics in Oregon all coming out of the Portland area and U of Oregon in Eugene.

    Victoria Taft of KPAM 860 has the rundown on potential candidates:

    Wednesday, July 27, 2011
    Wu Replacement Election: Who’s Running?

    So far for the Democrats it’s the battle of the Brads. Democrats Brad Witt and Brad Avakian are already declared candidates for the 1st Congressional District. With Kitzhaber’s announcment about the process (see below) it’s believed there will be a run of candidates rushing to declare for this race.

    No one has officially declared for the Republican side but we could have the battle of the Robs on our hands. Thinking about it are: Rob Cornilles –the GOP candidate in 2010 and Rob Miller, a political newcomer and CEO of Trailblazer Foods, Inc. State Rep Shawn Lindsay, who showed great instincts and intelligence in his first term at the state capitol is also considering a run, as is Tea Party chief, John Kuzmanich.

    Governor Kitzhaber announced yesterday that he couldn’t yet call for a special election until he has Wu’s resignation in hand, but is inclined to give candidates enough time for primary and special general election.

    “With Congressman Wu’s announcement this morning that he intends to resign after the debt-ceiling issue is resolved, many Oregonians – particularly those in the 1st Congressional District – want to know what will happen with his seat. I want a fair process that will include as many Oregonians as possible to ensure that the people in the 1st Congressional District have adequate representation in Washington, DC. But to do that, I must first have Congressman Wu’s official resignation, which I have not yet received. Once that is in hand, I intend to call for a special election to elect a Representative to Oregon’s 1st Congressional District, with sufficient time for the Secretary of State to call a special primary.”

    The alternative would be an election sooner with the political parties choosing their own candidates. Having a special election will cost the state $400,000.00 plus printing costs etc. Maybe David Wu has a few dollars left over in his political war chest and would like to donate it to the cause.

    The staffers so feared what Wu might do next that they kept him hidden from public view in the final days of the campaign. Gotta love that new era of transparency.

    So their jobs were more important than the welfare of the people they are suppose to serve. Yes, as an extension of Wu, they also serve the people. They are just as at fault for his atrocious behavior because they hid it.

    I suspect the real reason Wu’s being thrown overboard by Dems now is to so the Dens can avoid a divisive primary and keep the seat blue in the next election.

    Democrats fell in line the last time he was accused of rape in 2004, Dems may have decided the second incident and the tiger suit were too much to risk in a 55% district.

    Yeah? So, what’s your point? They’re Democrats…we know they don’t eat their own. They don’t punish wrongdoing from like-minded corruptocrats because that would be an acknowledgement that someone in their party was a pervert/crook/liar/hypocrite/idiot.

    Can’t have that…oh no. It interfers with their notion that conservatives are the “evil” ones. I have no hope that the general population of veiled sheep/slaves that support these crooks will ever have that veil lifted so they can see the harm the Demoncrat Party policies have done to them, and their progeny.

    It’s not impossible to get the donks to take out their garbage; but as “Dick” Wiener and now “Tigger” Wu have demonstrated, it takes a sustained effort to convince them that it’s finally time to go.

    The reasons for this are fairly straightforward: generally speaking, donks are highly susceptible to “My party right or wrong” attitudes (if Wu had determined to brass it out I’d bet good money that he’d have won reelection), and that is coupled with their politicians’ understanding that their media arm will try very hard to protect them.

    It’s only when the momentum of negative information becomes too great that the media will finally abandon the Wall of Silence™ defense, and that usually takes a long time to happen.

    I’d love to see “Revenge of the Conservatives.” But it’s an uphill battle. Measures 66 & 67 have killed businesses in this state. And everyone wonders why Oregon’s economy always lags behind most other states especially in a downturn.

    I swear, the average Dem voter in this state would rather in a tent and collect food stamps than allow jobs to be created.

    And it never crosses their minds that a business exists primarily to make a profit not to give out jobs with high pay and benefits to everyone regardless of their qualifications.

    A friend of mine summed up being a business owner in Oregon very well. He said “It’s like running a babysitting service for adults.”

    We moved from Oregon to Arizona last year. The politics of the State keep getting more and more Liberal and I’m glad we’re gone. The Metro area and Eugene generally override the sensible voters in the rest of the State. They are going broke though, so things are going to get tougher and tougher for Oregonians. They have about one tenth the population and State budget deficit of California. That’s not good by any measure.

    From Wu’s site, his online bio summary (emphasis added):

    http://www.house.gov/wu/about.shtml

    :
    Wu has lived the American dream. In October of 1961, at six years of age, he moved with his family to the United States after President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order updating unfair immigration quotas. He was educated in public schools, earned a Bachelor of Science from Stanford University in 1977, attended Harvard Medical School, and received a law degree from Yale University in 1982.

    Early in his legal career, Wu clerked for a federal judge in Portland. He joined the Miller Nash law firm in 1984, and in 1988, co-founded the law firm Cohen & Wu. For a decade, the Cohen & Wu firm served the high-technology industry and numerous small businesses across northwest Oregon. Wu counts his work helping build new businesses that have thrived and provided well-paying jobs for Oregonians as among his proudest accomplishments during this time. His fifteen years of experience in the Portland business and high-technology communities make him uniquely qualified to represent the “Silicon Forest” district in Congress.

    Unfair? To who(m)? By contrast, in the years prior to the removing of those quotas, immigration into the US was a very predictable and constant phenomenon. Now, in the post-quotas era, a great portion is done illegally and we bring in far more from a greater number of source countries that we simply cannot sustain. In short, the process has come to serve individuals’ interests and not our NATIONAL interest.

    Rep. Wu is on the wrong side of things. This is one Oregonian that will be glad to see him leave Congress.
