Grover Cleveland is one of my favorite presidents and in my opinion one of the most underrated presidents these days. He was one of the most honest men to ever occupy the White House.
One of my favorite quotes by him is “A Democratic thief is as bad as a Republican one.” Apparently at least one diarist at Daily Kos agrees:
House Democrats have been blocking an ethics investigation into this matter. That has to stop now. It was shit like this that helped Democrats lose control of the House in 1994, and Republicans in 2006. I’ve got no interest in giving Republicans easy ammunition.
We have to show we are different than Republicans by refusing to tolerate any corruption in our ranks.
The two paragraphs illustrate one of the things I strongly believe. The right thing is also the smart thing.
