Albany 'Crime Wave' Seen After Charges Against Assemblywoman
NY Sun ^ | July 11, 2006 | JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN

The indictment of a Brooklyn assemblywoman, Diane Gordon, on bribery charges yesterday makes her the seventh member of the 80-person New York City delegation in Albany to face charges from prosecutors in the past three years.

Welcome to the third world. If the current crop of Democrats ran America for 100 years we'd be Mexico. A nation in economic misery run by a group of corrupt, thieving, bureaucrats.

Notice that one is running for higher office, Congress, in spite of being convicted.

100 years?... You're too optimistic. Try thirty years, tops. It is the party of lies, demonic service to degeneracy, and selfish corruption. What's so damn frightening is 50% of the voting population votes for these criminal bastards.

The only thing missing on that neat graphic is.......Party Affiliation.

I wonder why.

I think our founding fathers set this up so well and the core of America is so strong that it would take them 100 years to wipe away the base of our county. But I think the clock is running and probably has been running since the 60's.

That's what great about the media - if it's not posted it might as well be because we all know that there are no Republicans in that group. Frankly I'm surprised they ran pictures.

I think even folks who live in NYC are smart enough to assume they are all Democrats.

That said, I agree with you!
