Mr. "PBA" posts a dozen inane rants per day but has somehow overlooked one of the biggest corruptions in recent history. I wonder why that is?

Don't you know the rule? If it's not reported in a radical leftist website, it's not true. We all know that Bush planted that money in his freezer.
Well, dang... ANOTHER one got caught.. now if they really TRY, they can catch the REST of them and we can go about trying to straighten out our gov't!!!
WE THE PEOPLE need to remember that WE are the ones who are SUPPOSED to run this country, and the Politician is supposed to echo OUR belief's..
WHEN did we allow that to change?

Let us not forget the recent conviction of Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R) of California. Perhaps some of you have forgotten Abramhoff as well. Corruption is bipartisan.

Right now, I do not trust ANY politician, no matter what party affiliation they have... There is so much corruption that the blame game could and WOULD get ALL of them...
From the lowest to the highest...
Its a shame that you don't trust polititians. Maybe you should move to Cuba...

Wow, your intelligence level absolutely AMAZES me!!!
By my last count, in the last thirty years its 51 democrats and 9 republicans off to the greybar hotel. Could be off by one or two.
Does anyone find it funny he was ripping off Nigerians, after all the Nigerian internet scams?

Please offer up your proof for those numbers. Or are they arbitrary? I do hope you are remembering Nixon. The only reason he was not prosecuted was because of his pardon.
Would these be classified as bribes, or economic incentives?

GpFish, the Republican Party does not have a monopoly on graft and greed. It's a good thing that Jefferson was caught.

I started to post this last night and decided not to to see if one of the conservatives would post it. And I made a bet with myself that if I give it a little time, the conservatives will jump on this one like a wildcat.
So here is my two cents worth on this subject. This man belongs in jail and not two years. He's corrupt and he does not represent the American people and he's in it for the money. That's why so many politicians pay big money to get elected because they don't make that much money just by being a representative. The opportunity comes from scandles and money under the table. If the republicans and the democrats would not try to protect the corrupt politicians, whether he or she be democrat, republican, independent, if they do the crime, they should do the time.
Wouid you protect your brother or sister if they did crime? Would you cover for them? I would hope not. If we are not going to cover for our own brother or sister, we shouldn't cover for the corrupt evil politicians just because they are affiliated with your party or church or family. That's what's wrong with the country now, too much cover-up on both sides.

Yeah Right and the left can say the same as you just said about your sites and fox news!
It appears that there is clear, convinging evidence that the Bushies used dirty politics to control the prosecutorial process during these two terms of Republican Administration. I wonder if the skewed numbers of more Democrats beng prosecuted than Republicans plays into this astonishing imbalance? Also, it seems that when some Federal Prosecutors smelled a rat in their own party, they were fired or "retired" to keep them from getting at the "Odor!"
Go Fish, this is why. The Democrats are taking action against William Jefferson, and have taken action against him in the past few months.
There is no reason to criticize any Democrat BESIDES Jefferson for what Jefferson is accused of.

Two wrongs do not make a right and corruption and dishonesty is wrong regardless of whether one is a Republican or Democrat. No political party has a corner on the market of righteousness just as no church has a corner on the market for salvation.
Newt Gingrich recently admitted to having an affair during the same time they were lambasting Clinton for his indiscretions. And, let's not forget, Rep. Mark "Phoney" of Florida, a model of hypocrisy, who was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children while he was trying to seduce teenage House pages.
As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one. (Romans 3:10)

I 100% agree.
It just irritates that stupid people like PBA and the vast majority of the Democratic Party will completely look the other way when one of his own is involved.
On the other hand, Republicans will turn on themselves in an instant.
Why is that?

The Republicans will EAT their own, let alone allow them to become an albatros around the neck prior to the next election. Dont try all that holier than thou crap. Republicans/Democrats - there is no difference, both sides have their own crooked idiots. And both sides have supporters who are blind to their sins. Stupid goes across party lines. Look in the mirror.

Thank you meanasasnake! He needs to clean his own door steps before cleaning others!
Absolutely! I agree that if Jefferson had done as they are saying he SHOULD go to jail for that. The list keeps getting longer however for what he actually had done! The Pubs have him doing something that they would never THINK of doing themselves.. This story of Jefferson will play big in 2008 for Pubs for certain! They need everything that they can muster to builld their party!
I say indeed Jefferson SHOULD pay for his actions. But then when you hear the Pubs talking about it,they are trying to convince the people that this is not anything that THEY would ever DREAM of doing, even as they have so many in jail and others waiting for investigations!!

Yeah, I know. I agree. I got a little partisan for a minute there and that was unbecoming of a good Republican.
My whole point was that PBA is (not surprisingly) one of those supporters who is "blind" to his party's sins.
