bob ney (r-oh-18) drops re-election bid

how did I miss it? after all my postings on bob ney, former chairman of the house administrationcommittee and "representative number one" in the abramoff indictment, after spending months making sure to check for bob ney news on the internet every week, how did I miss the news that bob ney has dropped his re-election bid?

it's always like this, you know. you have to wonder how they think they can get away with it for so long, but then they are so accustomed, some of these guys, to slinging bologna at the public and being believed that they can't stop themselves. they think they can get away with anything. tom delay is a case in point. now ney has dropped out of the race.

buh-bye, bob ney. to me you will always be the guy who hung hr 550 up in committee rather than permit the united states to hold honest elections.

congressman ehlers? let's get that legislation moving, sir. time is a-wastin'. as a physicist, you must understand how much energy needs to be applied to the legislation to move it from committee to the floor. apply it, sir, and get your committee applying it, too. the bill currently has 206 co-sponsors. it hardly needs many more votes than those of its co-sponsors to pass.
