Why are so many Republicans being outed for misdeeds?

Democrat Changes Mind Over Investigation

House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers no longer plans to investigate the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — known as ACORN. The Michigan Democrat bucked party leaders when he called for hearings on voter fraud accusations against ACORN. The Washington Times reports Conyers now says, "the powers that be decided against it."

He did not say who those powers are. Spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner, Michael Steel, says Conyers, "has a responsibility to explain who is blocking this investigation, and why. Is it Speaker Pelosi? Others in the Democratic leadership? Who in Congress is covering up ACORN's corruption?"

A Conyers spokesman later said Conyers had been referring to himself as "the powers that be."

Well “DUH”, the Democrats won’t permit any of their own to be investigated.

I thought part of the change we were promised was transparency.

Maybe Conyers is trying to influence his own wife's sentencing for a bribery conviction. She could draw as much as a five-year sentence in her role as Detroit city councilwoman.
