Comments for Brazilian House Refuses to Expel Congressman Considered Guilty by Ethics Committee at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sun, 12 Oct 2008 06:57:47 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4829/1/#pc_1658 All honest brazilians citizens, except the minority wealthy elite, have been betrayed by this decision. Because THEY elected these Congressmen to vote laws in favor of democracy and justice. They voted these laws but have no desire to apply them when they are themselves implicated. - Guest Fri, 16 Dec 2005 04:15:20 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4829/1/#pc_1635 How about only electing clergymen who have taken a vow of poverty? Maybe that would have some effect. - Guest Thu, 15 Dec 2005 17:20:19 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4829/1/#pc_1651 - that impunity does not exist in Brazil. - that justice exists in Brazil. It simply demonstrates that vote buying has been found acceptable and absolutely normal by the majority of Congressmen. And they represent the different ideologies of Brazil ! Great for the rule of law ! Great for Democracy ! Great respect for the citizens who elected them ! No doubt that even Lula, totally against corruption as he said repeatedly, will not say or do anything on this somber vote. This decision predicts the other votes to come for the other politicians found guilty. It would be simpler, easier and cheaper to write clearly, in the Brazilian constitution, that vote buying and corruption is totally legal. Totally Disgraceful, True Shame, True Scam and Sad Reality are just polite expressions.. - Guest Thu, 15 Dec 2005 13:20:05 +0100
