I have started an analysis of 'money issues' that the Republicans believe are important to the elections of 2012.

That said there are some aspects I can still tweek before displaying them here. 

There have been statements made today in regard to the personal matter of a Congressman that needs to be addressed.

To begin, I believe the DNC is getting carried away with its importance in the regard to personal matters of US Congressmen.  The DNC is suppose to 'help' their elected members make connections with the public, speak for them when their schedules don't allow and it is a Democrat issue of concern, etc.  No where in the national platform or the rules of the DNC does it state the party has the right to dictate the personal behavior Senators or House Representatives or a President for that matter.  I think they need to back off. 

If the Democratic leadership is asking a Congressman to step down from a federal seat as if they are 'in charge' of that seat, they need to reassess their priorities.  This is the United States of America and there is such a thing as freedom of will in this country.  I don't see the Congressional delegation of any party as a collective.  I know the Republicans like to make the electorate feel as though 'group think and cabals' are more important than an individual.  They like to portray 'The Party' move in 'lock step,' but that isn't being a democracy, now is it.  It is a 'strategy' to 'handle' the electorate and convey a sense of 'security' in their loyality.  After all, that is the 'credo' of the Tea Baggers, either a Congressman and Senator or any candidate toe the party line with strict 'ethos' or get out.  The Tea Baggers make that claim as they proclaim their party's 'ethos' is based in and only based in the USA Constitution and nothing more, hence they are always correct in very way.  Excuse me?  Their 'ethos' is about control of the electorate for the purpose of controlling money.  Their decisions are victimizing to the public in general and they are conducted without regard to 'sound policy.'  (ie: The Ryan trashing of Medicare.)

The RNC is acting as a collective and that should be troubling to everyone. 

Everyone. 

Their elected members, be it State or Federal, have no minds of their own?  No through processes that have at least fifty different points of view from whatever electorate they are representing?  Really?

I really don't expect to see anymore of this 'control' behavior by the DNC.  It is inappropriate and a power play that does not belong with any form of motivation for any decision.  Protests can be carried out by many and that is one aspect that can't be ignored.  We have a right to assembly in the USA and there are caucus with Congress and the Senate, so I would expect that sort of outcome from time to time.  But this? 

This is not a problem that resulted from or to the DNC.  There were no emails exchanged with sexual content to anyone that we are aware of at the DNC.  So.  Sincerely.  It is none the organizations business. 

The Democratic National Committee dose not police the behaviors of the people they help elect and if they did, that would be more than troubling.  I sincerely believe everyone, including Congressional leadership needs to reassess their appropriate involvement in any 'ethical' issue.  Evidently, the Democratic leadership and the DNC seem to think they run the House Ethics Committee.  They don't.  Get over it.

More to follow.
