Should voters, in the election a month from now, hold the Republican Party accountable for not just one, but four members of the senior leadership in the House resigning in disgrace in the last year?

We need to hold ALL politicians accountable for scandals and unethical behavior. This is the year for Republican scandals, but Dems have had their share in the past, and I see no reason to expect that they won't have them in the future.
We should hold Republicans doubly accountable this year, though. Not so much for the scandals, but for their botched handling of the War on Terror, the mess in Iraq, their support of measures that errode our Constitutional rights, and the continuing inequalities in our economy. They've bungled our most urgent national crisis and may be threatening our liberty. They don't deserve to govern in the majority.

I am sympathetic to your question, but I'm a news junkie and I have no idea who those four are. Clearly Tom Delay was one. Who are the other three? Foley wasn't in senior leadership (or was he?).
Please make this question interesting by listing who they were!

Someone or several someones should be held responsible for knowing there were problems, but did nothing. Resigning in disgrace is not the issue. The issue is a coverup, just like the dioces in the pedophilia cases.

As soon as they hold the Dem's responsible for the debacles in their pasts. It would help if the Dem's who screw up would resign (Ted Kennedy and his little Chappaquiddick episode comes to mind) Both parties have more than a few things to be ashamed of and both parties need to be more forth coming about these things and not just around elections. You would think that they would all be grown-ups and know that these actions are wrong but they don't seem to see it that way.

Everyone should do what I do and stay away from the ballot box for the rest of their life. And anybody who believes that Democratic leaders in Congress have never resigned in disgrace obviously is a paid Democrat propogandist.

Nope. The fact that they're gone proves the system works. Now if we can just make it work for democrats too.
