OK, put your money Where your lieing mouths are... C'mon, start showing me the wealth of Rep. corruption cases being pursued. Not years old stuff, but current events. I post EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE I FIND ABOUT CORRUPTION IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM AND I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS WHETHER THE CROOK HAS A "D" OR AN "R" BEHIND THIER NAME. IN FACT, I'D RATHER SEE THE "R"S TOSSED IN JAIL AND WHAT WAS ONCE A PARTY THAT HAD THIS NATION'S BEST INTERESTS AT HEART RETURNED TO THAT IDEAL. I WANT TO SEE THE ROTTEN SOBS THAT HAVE CORRUPTED A PARTY IWAS ONCE PROUD TO BE MEMBER OF THROWN IN JAIL. YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND WILL APOLOGIZE, DEFEND AND MAKE EXCUSES FOR EVERY ROTTEN POS "D" THAT GETS ACCUSED OF A CRIME. BLAGO'S PROBBLY THE ONLY "D" I CAN REMEMBER EITHER OF YOU MAKING A SOLID STAND AGAINST. SO EITHER PUT UP OR SHUT UP. POST SOME CURRENT CASES BEING BROUGHT AGAINST "R"S AND SHOW ME THAT THERE'S MORE CROOKS BEING BROUGHT TO JUSTICE ON THE RIGHT THAN ON THE LEFT. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BECAUSE I KNOW HOW THIS PLAYS OUT. I ACTIVELY LOOK FOR EXAMPLES OF CORRUPTION - ESPECIALLY "R"S ADN I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT IF YOU ARE HONEST, OBJECTIVE AND FAIR, YOU'LLL FIND FAR MORE "D"S ON THE SCALES OF JUSTICE.

EXACTLY!

Instead, what you see is obfuscation, denial, and defense.
"A Barbara Streisand concert is torture, so torture must be in the eye of the beholder" mentality.
The "It's the criminalization of politics" junk.

And it's not just one side either. Pelosi gets up on her rant against Republican scandals and pretending its epidemic to the party, while she looks the other way on her own party's scandals.
We can easily call Pelosi on her crap.
But when FS pulls something similar ... ????




I see everything I just said was COMPLETELY ignored by you.
1) BOTH saltwn and myself gave examples.
2) I explained why it's futile to go in a "party name witch-hunt".

I think it's great that you post scandals.
But when you start making insinuations about one PARTICULAR party, you cross a line.

3) To give you something on your own level.
Republican values create child molesters
Republicans are more likely to be pedophiles.
I just proved it at your level of approach.


You've got an incredibly short memory.
I remember one thread where I STARTED the thread criticizing Pelosi.
After several posts, you popped on trying to proclaim that I was DEFENDING Pelosi's actions and looking the other way.
I firmly hold that Clinton NEEDED to be punished for LYING to the American people. But when Bush lies by saying "we do not torture", you don't care.
Let me guess? Am I going to get a "perjury" defense for Bush, cause obviously "under oath" was Clinton's REAL problem and just SAYING the lie was fine and dandy under Republican thinking????


Your attitude and claims are absurd.
And the funny thing about this is I see NO need to start down this path with you on a pragmatic level.
There are those people who will bobble-head your mentality, cause they'll just bobble-head the Republican mentality no matter what. The people who will obfuscate and defend "torture" while trying to put forth a pretend argument that it's not torture.
And then you have the people who can view things more objectively, and I think they pretty much see the situation for what it is.

You want to talk about "MAKE EXCUSES FOR" Republicans with corruption problems? With honesty problems?
Puh-leaze!

If we went down the list, how many different ways would you excuse these actions???

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Former state Sen. Vincent Fumo is appealing his recent federal conviction on 137 corruption counts.

The 65-year-old Philadelphia Democrat cites insufficient evidence and a juror's online posts to Twitter and Facebook, among other issues.

Prosecutors plan to seek more than 10 years in prison for Fumo. His sentencing hearing is expected to begin July 13 and take at least several days or more.

A jury convicted Fumo of defrauding the state Senate, a charity and a museum of more than $3.5 million.

Co-defendant Ruth Arnao, a former aide convicted of 45 related counts, is joining Fumo in the appeal.

Both remain free on bail.

Take them all down if they are guilty. If you find 10 that are honest thats a good find. Once they are in for several years they become gulity of something for the most of them. Why because they go into it for themselves.
Lou Dobbs has a reporter saying (right now behind me) that our govt. is so corrupted by LOBBYIST, we the people are the losers.
Like Stevens just because his prosecutors were bad doesn't make him less guilty. He should be re-tried..
