smokinandjokin Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Another stain in the underwear that is the Republican party
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Another stain in the underwear that is the Republican party 514772[/snapback] Last I checked, the Democrats were crooks too. Not that it absolves this !@#$ of his wrongdoing (and a stupid !@#$, no less...doesn't anyone use offshore accounts anymore? )...I just wanted to point out that the underwear is largely non-partisan.
Wacka Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 democrats didn't disappoint. That was pretty fast.

Repubs have just been getting caught a bit more frequently lately. Perhaps the 21st century Dems are good at something other than nosediving in elections!

Steal underwear. 2. TAKE BRIBES. BUY MANSION. 3. Profit. Glad someone finally figured out the business model.

Ghost of BiB Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Now Petrino won't be so damn bitter. 514913[/snapback] Maybe not. I'm sure he feels all better now.
Johnny Coli Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Maybe not. I'm sure he feels all better now. 514934[/snapback] I know I do.
pope zimli Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 hopefully a special prosecutor will be appointed to go after the folks who bought his house, bought his yacht, gave him the money. The congressman will hopefully cooperate and the crooks who do the bribing will be dealing in contraband cigarettes at some penitentiary for a good ten years. But then...I still believe in Santa.
buckeyemike Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Nothing p!$$e$ me off more than a Republican taking bribes for government favors. The reason is because I am a Republican and expect far more out of my party than that. I thought that the entire reason to get into governmental service was to help people and make the world a better place, not to enrich yourself at the government trough and have access to contracts and cash you and I will never have. That's why those laws are in place. This Cunningham guy deserves whatever federal prosecutors throw at him. Mike

That's why those laws are in place. 515394[/snapback] The problem is that they are not held accountable by the people. You are finally starting to see stuff like this, but it is more political motivations (one party trying to take down another) than the people standing up and taking charge. Look at the legislative pay raise issue in Pennsylvania to see what the people can accomplish when their tax money is being used to line the pockets of the legislators.
stuckincincy Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Maybe Cunningham will share a cell with the former Congressman James Trafficant - D, Ohio. That would be fun.

News flash: there isn't a single government program that doesn't involves somehow enriching someone at the government trough. "The people" have nothing to do with it.

Just figured it was politics.

I guess I just expect more out of people. Maybe I shouldn't, but dammit, I'm an attorney with access to accounts that belong to other people. Unless I get permission, or a bill of theirs needs to be paid, I DON'T TOUCH THEM. Period. Mike
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I'm not naive. I was just bustin' on ya... I guess I just expect more out of people.

VABills Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Now Petrino won't be so damn bitter. 514913[/snapback] It's still all your fault. Actually I thought it was KRC's fault but somehow you are CTM get the blame. What ever, you all look the same to me.

That's called integrity, and its why you'll never get elected to public office. 515694[/snapback] Voting for integrity. Screw that. I want people who will do my bidding, or at least help me to get some of that no-bidding.
Ghost of BiB Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Just for the record, ethics are taken very seriously by most contractors, and most contracting officials and customers. To the "bend over backwards" point. FWIW. I have little use for Congress, personally.
