I did not know that. The way it was being discussed, I'd assumed he was because of the district he represented. Regardless, the LaCrosse Team is being railroaded because of their race and have been abandoned by their University because of the white guilt syndrome....
A black, liberal democrat from the corrupt state of Lousiana.
NO one really cares. Not from there, not from his black caucus, not from the democrat party, no one is calling for his head like they did Delay or even Lott.
Why? Liberal, Black.
No outrage because the idiot Republicans are defending him.
Shows you just how truly spineless the Republicans have become.
These folks never give up.
Like the separation of church and state, there is no such animal, but hey, what the heck. Say it often enough and we'll all swallow it.
Now can we get back to the current theme?
I think it was something about we are a nation of illegal immigrants, or something like that.
Where is the outrage? Well, duh, didn't the folks at "Human Events" notice the D after Jefferson's name? Just what is their problem?
"Nancy, sweetheart, Willy Boy is just the tip of the iceberg in the cult of corruption known as the RAT party."
===
I think you are right, but why aren't the Republicans demanding MORE investigations -- that's what the D'rats would do -- instead of jumping to the defense of this criminal?!
Under similar circumstances, or less, Duke "culture of corruption" Cunningham did resign.But the rules for Clinton were different than the rules for Nixon, and the rules for Jefferson are different than the rules for Cunningham. For the simple reason that liberals like Clinton and Jefferson agree with the negative, superficial perspective implied in the "If it bleeds, it leads," "Man Bites Dog rather than Dog Bites Man" mentality of journalism.
Anyone who does not get along and go along with journalism pays a price for it.
The $90K was found at the Congressman's D.C. area home, wrapped in $10K bundles, disguised as food, in his freezer. The money in question was money given as a cash bribe from an FBI informant a couple days prior to search of the Jefferson's home.
That was a completely different warrant, only against his residence, executed last August.
My understanding on this warrant is that the FBI had reason to believe that Jefferson was blowing off a subpoena issued against records he kept in his congressional office. When the FBI brought this up with the judge, it was the judge that suggested and issued the warrant, specifically to get those records.
Jefferson's office has stated that the records in question were handed over to the Congressional Counsel's Office, so another question would be why that office held the records back from the FBI.
What do the sheeple know today? They have been brainwashed for decades thru the abomination of a public school system & with an allout assistance from a totally corrupt news media, etc. Just read the "Communist Manifesto" That tells it all.
The outrage is at Best Buy for my Denon home theater system DVD player audio output failing just shortly after being purchased. ;^)=
No really...has anyone considered why there are no charges on the one who intiates the bribing? I would bet that is by some corporate goon who is seeking legislative, and therfore, profit motivating legislation that would otherwise be construed as a crime.
And while I am at it, does anyone for a moment believe that any one of these stupid political parties actually look out after the best interests of the American people at large? If you do, you are fooling yourself. Both parties are as corrupt as any computer virus. And the freedoms and rights of the American people are surely being eroding by the representatives of BOTH of these parties.
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Arrowhead>>>---fraud by Demonicans-->
The whole argument that you can't search an office of a member of Congress is in itself absurd. No one can use the Constitution to hide the fact they committed a felony. You cannot use the law to coverup the existance or evidence of a violation of the law.
HEAR! HERE!
Bush and the Republicans still haven't figured out, despite of ample evidence, that people like them the most, get the highest approval ratings, are are able to accomplish most, when they act "like cowboys" -- people LIKE cowboys. When Bush said he'll get Osama "dead or alive" and speaks plainly, instead of worrying about offending the Dems, that's when he had the highest approval ratings.
When Gingrich went straight to the people, that's when, after 40 years, the House changed from Dem to Republican control.
Republicans just don't know how to act like winners, like a majority.
"Where have all the cowboys gone? "
I was just making that point in my post 38.
High Crimes and Misdemeanors (sp) comes to mind.
