Lawmakers call for Lobbyist reform, are we impressed?

Today is 1/6 and what a surprise. With the revelation that Abramoff is dirty and has admitted to corruption and bribery and knowing he has bilked millions out of clients illegally. With the revelation that many in the public think our law makers are dirty. We know there are many especially republicans who are quaking in their boots knowing they too are guilty but will falsely admit to innocence which is the norm in Congress. Amazing, all of a sudden Lawmakers from both parties are calling for reform of the lobbyist system. The very system they know was dirty and anti average American. Yet the very system they relied on financially in order to get reelected. Again I will say, are we supposed to commend someone for doing the right thing after they are caught being less than moral?
What a surprise the very Bill calling for reform that has already gained a majority of support has always been controversial and could never gain support. As we have said that President Bush will not do the right thing for the people and will not adhere to the law unless forced to do so. He has set the example for the rest of government and sadly enough for the public to act in kind and they do. We know ½ a million dollars have been returned so far by Lawmakers. The big concern to me is yes the determined direction of the government bought by lobbyist monies. But more importantly is the countless millions they have defrauded innocent (maybe not) people out of.
