70% Think Congressmen are Bribed Thieves

A Rasmussen Reports poll found that 70% of people believe that most members of congress trade votes for cash or campaign contributions. This outcome is no surprise as Waters and Rangel are not the first to come under the microscope of the ethics committee. Those two were just the most flagrant violators of the rules this year. If any real, bipartisan audits were conducted, I think at least 85% would be found guilty of ethics violations involving compensation for consideration on the floor.
