Republicans flip-flop on ethics rule

House Republican leaders, finally acknowledging that Tom DeLay's ethics problems are adversely affecting the party's image, have decided to rescind a rule change that led to the shutdown of the ethics committee.

This is the second time in four months that House Republicans have changed a rule and then changed it back because the changes were perceived to protect DeLay.

Whatever happened to our beloved decisive Republican Party, unafraid of making the wrong decision and sticking by it against all logic?
