Even with the exposure of the Abramoff scandal, Republicans "debate how they can project change while keeping things much the same." What an insult! Instead of endeavoring to serve the people, those "public servants" want to use lip service and cosmetic changes to pull the wool back over our eyes. There can be no excuses...
