I don’t think the charges and prospective penalties have anything to do with corruption but rather with getting Clinton supporters out of the picture before 2012.Corruption is a given and is regarded as something to be cleaned up only if it can be used against the opposition.

Nah, they shouldn’t feel discriminated against. Though I’m sure that they reflexively think that.
You live by the ballot box, you die by the ballot box. It is the way of all crookd politicos (and there are plenty more), whether black or white. Plenty of whites have taken their hits for ethics violations. It would be discriminatory if it wasn’t applied across the board, just as it seems to be happening now.
It just happens to be their turn in the barrel.

Democrats have no working concept of “individual” except,possibly for the Philosopher King they crave, such as JFK and they thought for a while, Clinton, and for now, it is the Kenyan.

It’s about Marxine Waters and Cholly Rangel supporting Hitlery.

The frivolous or deliberate overuse of the race card has so diluted it's effectiveness that the first black president and two black leaders of the CBC can now be called out on their corrupt behavior by anyone with impunity.

The Congressional Black Caucus is not "reeling" , this is more propaganda fr Obama. The Black Congessional Congress IS fighting Obama!And the knives are out, with the stabbing happening quietly, far from the press and public television.Rangel and Waters say , NOTHING.They let this quiet political battle progress, all we need do is look for the bodies.And Rangel and Waters will not be among those dead.But Obama community operatives will be piled up like cordwood.
So for once. I am cheering the Black Caucus ONWARDS. GO GET 'EM !
The AP IS FULL OF $hit as usual.

Personal opinion, I think Obama is trying his best to start race riots. I beleive he wants to suspend the elections.

Busting Democrats on ethics abuses is like shooting fish in a barrel, Democrats are criminals by nature, so it is kind of surprising that only black Democrats are being targeted.

It defies logic that AP and all the other MSM outlets continue to dwell on a person's color. It's not about color, it's about CRIME!!
Identical to the illegal alien argument.

True, it’s not about skin tone, it’s about corruption.
Right now, I’m thinking of the 3 million plus spent on Chelsea’s wedding. I can’t help but wonder, how a politician from Arkansas was able to become filthy rich enough to spend 3 plus million on his daughter’s wedding? IIRC, he was the adopted step son of a car dealer. So, beyond their political endeavers in politics, what has either Bill or Hillary ever produced in earned income, to be able to provide such a lavish 3 million plus wedding for their daughter?
I’m thinking corruption in politics made it happen. I’m thinking citizens are stupid.

The congessional black caucus is an in your face racist organization.
These are fire breathing destroy America racists seeking revenge not reparations. They want to take it all.
They’re “you’re a racist” forcefield has failed. Laughter erupts at the charge now.
“cheeks” Kalpatric? Really? No more ignorant white race hating women exists on the earth.... exept for Maxine Waters.
Don’t you guys get it? Obama is seeking racist revenge to secure the black vote and in parallel hoping to gain favor with every tin horn dictator on earth.
We are the soul hold out to a one world dictatorship.
That is what is at stake.
You know, no body debates me anymore within my family. Hell I turned my 82 yo GM union man/dad into a tea party patriot.
