A growing number of distinguished Republicans, both past and present, have expressed great concern over the corruptive influence of private money in politics and/or the need for public financing, including Teddy Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr, Barry Goldwater, Warren Rudman, Alan Simpson, John McCain, Arlen Specter, Susan Collins, George Voinovich, and the highest voter-approval rated governor in the nation, Republican Jodi rell of Connecticut. Republican support for this non-partisan reform would go a long way toward counteracting the Democrat smear against Republicans as representing a "culture of corruption," something that Ted Stevens has only made worse.

They are simply too tainted with scandal, plus they suck. The leadership needs to step up and tell them both that they are done.
