Rep. Randy Cunningham, highly decorated Viet Nam War pilot, pleaded guilty to taking $ 2.4 million in bribes and resigned from Congress. The bribes came from military defense contractors who wanted business from the Federal government.
What's the fuss?Bush/Cheney received over $200 million in bribes to run for the presidency. Hell, the disaster duo were nowhere to be found during the Viet Nam War let alone get decorated. Actually Bush/Cheney started a war for it's lobbyists. Cheney's old firm Halliburton was a major beneficiary. Are Bush/Cheney going to confess and resign? I don't think so.
The difference between the 2 situations is that Bush/Cheney did their crime with a majority vote of Congress. Cunningham was a comparative mom and pop to the Walmart of the military-industrial complex's poster stooges. Politicians can't be trusted. War should only be declared with a majority of the country in favor by NATIONAL REFERENDUM.
