But then, they have a good example. Obama also promised to clean up the corruption in the administration. Then, he proceeded to appoint Tom Daschle and other people who had failed to pay their taxes, or, like New Mexico's Governor, Bill Richardson, were caught up in some kind of investigation. Obama issued an extremely rigid Executive Order outlining a high bar of ethics his appointees would have to meet. Then, he proceeded to ignore his high bar and waive the requirements for several appointees.

It is pure corruption to deliberately give the appearance of high ethical standards, and then completely refuse to apply those standards.

What's needed is a tidal wave to wash over Washington to clean out every politician -- regardless of party affiliation -- who seeks personal power over constitutional compliance or personal profit over public accountability.

Tidal waves often follow earthquakes. And earthquakes often follow ground tremors. Seismic tremors are being recorded in cities across the nation. In nearly every city where a Democrat had the courage to hold a town meeting, the earth rumbled.

All across the land, individuals and organizations are preparing for a tidal wave. They are identifying those Congressmen who arrogantly refuse to answer their questions. They are making notes of the votes cast by Congressmen who want government to take over health care, energy, and the rest of the market place. They are putting targets on the backs of those elected officials who vote to increase taxes and blindly spend uncountable billions.

While Democrats pretended to look the other way on September 12, more than a million people politely paraded through Washington. These are the people who will take their families and their friends and neighbors to the polls next November. These are the people who are the tidal wave that can clean up the corruption in DC. These are the people who vote.
