WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced a television ad today on Nancy Pelosi and the Congressional Democrats’ failure to live up to their pledge of having the “most ethical Congress in history.” The television ad, entitled “Pelosi’s Failure,” can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-_cmqbyqIk.

“Three years ago Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Congressional Democrats took control of Washington with a promise to drain the so-called ‘swamp’ of corruption and bring about a new era of political responsibility.  The recent sexual harassment allegations against Democrat Congressman Massa serves as a stark reminder that Democrats have largely failed the American people and that their pledges of responsibility were nothing more than lofty populist campaign rhetoric. Nancy Pelosi should stop protecting her liberal, unethical allies like Congressman Rangel or be prepared to lose her gavel in November.” – RNC Chairman Michael Steele
