How hilarious. Does the name William "Freezer" Jefferson strike a bell, Ms. Pelosi?
Not to mention a fact that our one party media will never mention: that numerous Democrats took much more money from Abramoff than the worst Republicans did. Including even the Democrat's Senate Minority Leader, "Honest" Harry Reid.
But of course no Democrat ever resigns, no matter how perfidious their behavior. "Honest" Harry Reid refuses to even give the Abramoff money back.
That is just one of the many benefits the DNC enjoy from controlling the media and indeed the rest of the establishment.
They face no accountability. Ever.

I agree 100%.
Perfidious is a cool word, but in truth, the libs are always quite faithful in their dishonesty and treachery.

Although I lean conservative I refuse to vote a party line. Your question and others like it reinforce my opinion.
We have exhausted the two party system and need to start working on another play book. All the parties even the fringe have an agenda that most of us could not possibly agree with even 50% of the time. Most Americans just refuse to admit it.
That day in some future November when liberals and conservatives find that congress and the senate are chalk full of independents, libertarians, republicans, democrats and a host of other candidates, will be the time when we can, as United States citizens, stand up and declare we truly are a democracy.
The president of that country will truly have to vote the will of the people. The Pelosi's will have a say but it will stand for what it really is: Low key rhetoric!

Even the bad Republicans have more integrity than the so called good Democrats. And that is an undeniable truth. Even a murderer like Ted Kennedy can thrive in the Democratic party. Or a perv like Bill Clinton. Now who has the moral high ground? Even the extreme right shows integrity when caught in a bad situation. But not the extreme left. They seem to want to see just how stupid the American people are. I am ashamed of both sides of the isle. And it depresses me terribly.

I don't care who breaks the rules I'm tired of it.
We live in the present, we should learn from the past and over the past 6 years I've learned that the Bush Administration is nothing but a bunch of criminals and war profiteers who think Americans are incapable of noticing that they walk all over our rights and will continue to do so for as long as they can.
Bush was a coke head. How does that exempt him from being suspect for his crimes of the past? Technically it shouldnt but since hes the repubs man you dont bother to bring that up.
Did he fight in Veitnam? No. He avioded deployment as best he possibly could... There are ways to do that in the military if you are fortunate enough to get away with it.
Foley resigned because he absolutely KNEW that he was totally screwed.
The FEMA guy resigned because he knew he was totally screwed. Who else has resigned over the past 6 years???
Oh yeah Colin Powell resigned because he actually felt BAD! Why did he feel bad? Because he screwed up and didnt check the intelligence that he was given.
"Powell testified before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, [7] acknowledging that the sources who provided much of the information in his February 2003 UN presentation were "wrong" and that it was "unlikely" that any stockpiles of WMDs would be found. Claiming that he was unaware that some intelligence officials questioned the information prior to his presentation, Powell pushed for reform in the intelligence community, including the creation of a national intelligence director who would assure that "what one person knew, everyone else knew".
Colin Powell announced his resignation as Secretary of State on Monday, November 15, 2004. According to the Washington Post, he had been asked to resign by the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card.[2] Powell announced that he would stay on until the end of Bush's first term or until his replacement's confirmation by Congress. The following day, George W. Bush nominated National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, as Powell's successor.
At least he has a heart and some integrity and made an attempt to fix the problems himself. Its an awful shame that he is gone now!
No one in the Bush admin who is really messing up right now is accountable for anything. They are war profiteers. Particularly Rumsfeld.
There are no coincidences!!! And there is no accountability from the Bush Regime!!
Its all just pass the buck.

There is no difference between one party and another in terms of their respective willingness to resign amid scandal.
But the asker of this question does not really want equal numbers of politicians to resign from each party (which he pretends). Equal numbers of resignations will just benefit the Democratic Party, which the writer does not want, of course!!

"fact that ...numerous Democrats took much more money from Abramoff than the worst Republicans did."
Is simply not true, another red herring assertion.

It's all set up, all of it. The democrats and republicans in higher offices are not chosen by the people and do not resign on their own free will. They are all carefully chosen by the richest people in the world.

Easy one!
Republicans are hypocrits and resign.
Democrats are the definition of hypocracy, why resign?
To me they are all just Republicrats. making a big show of nothing.
Do you think they invented MBA's just to torture the rest of us that produce?
