Bye Bye "Culture of Corruption" Says Pelosi

From The Hill:
The time to criticize the Republicans "culture of corruption," a Democratic refrain for nearly a year, is at an end, Pelosi said; Democrats need to begin promoting their own vision of America.

"Now it's time to talk about us. Enough of the Republicans. It's time for us to talk about what are the priorities we'd like to see addressed, if we have the opportunity," Pelosi said in an interview with The Hill on Wednesday.

Well how about that? That whole "culture of corruption" thing backfired so badly with the misdeeds of Dems like Harry Reid, Patrick Kennedy, William Jefferson and Cynthia McKinney and Francine Busby, among others, making headlines for months.

And now the Dems are going to tell us what they stand for? Easy: 1. Surrender in Iraq, 2.Gut the Patriot Act, 3. Raise everyone's taxes, 4. Feed every whacko lefty special interest group in sight with endless obstruction of everything that Bush stands for. Pretty much business as usual.

Of course they can't win an election on that platform either, so expect another con job with some nonsense about saving the planet for the next generation. No one's against Children now are they?
