LOL. There is that but also remember you would NEVER see F/T post anything negative about a Dem. F/T is under the delusional impression that all Dems are pure as newly driven snow.

If you can't to the time, don't do the crime. I think Beretta said that.

Like when Jesse Jr. got in trouble for spending campaign money on expensive jewelry and furs. The liberal media deemed the fact that he is a demo-rat not important for the story. Sure, most everyone knows Jesse Jr. is a demo-rat, but had it been George Bush or Rick Scott, whom most know are republicans, they would have mentioned party affiliation numerous times. That's how they roll.

Shouldn't you regressive demo-rats be upset that Jesse Jr. bought fur? Regardless of what money he used. Fur is bad, right?

No, idiot. I have no delusions about politics, which are ruining our country. But the Florida GOP is remarkably corrupt. It would suck to be you.

AKRON — Former Cuyahoga County political leader Jimmy Dimora was sentenced Tuesday to 28 years in prison for his conviction in a wide-ranging federal public corruption case. Dimora, an former county commissioner, denied any wrongdoing in a statement before he was sentenced. A tearful Dimora said everything he did was for the taxpayer’s good. The 57-year-old Dimora, also a former Democratic Party chairman in Cleveland, was convicted of racketeering, bribery and other counts. His trial capped an investigation that led to more than 50 convictions involving county officials, employees and contractors who traded bribes for government jobs and contracts.

CHICAGO — Rod R. Blagojevich, the former Democratic governor of Illinois who for years proclaimed he was innocent of federal corruption charges, apologized on Wednesday for his crimes. He apologized to his trial judge. He apologized to his family. He apologized to the residents of Illinois, who had heard his voice on secretly recorded phone calls as he crassly spoke of what he might get in exchange for a United States Senate seat. (wow - he did learn something from his mentor BHO)

Four Democrats involved in an upstate New York voter fraud scandal were sentenced yesterday for their respective roles, receiving punishments ranging from hundreds of hours of community service, to jail time. The group consisted of a former city clerk, an ex-City Councilman, a Democrat operative, and a Committeeman who a year ago had declared ballot forgery in upstate New York to be “a normal political tactic“. –

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A former longtime Pennsylvania House Democratic leader has been sentenced to 2 1/2 to 5 years in prison on corruption charges, but his constituents can still vote for him in Tuesday's primary. Bill DeWeese was convicted in February on charges stemming from the illegal use of state employees and other public resources for political campaigns.

Liberal media...where? You're always squawking about the liberal media...the media is beholden to the corporations that own them. Ask Dan Rather or Phil Donahue about the liberal media. Both of them lost their jobs for criticizing Bush, telling the truth about 9/11, and opposing the Iraq invasion. If you include talk radio in the mix, the media is overly right-wing, especially in rural areas of the country. And FAUX NEWS might as well declare itself an arm of the GOP.

What difference does it make whether party affiliation is mentioned or not. If the person is prominent in either party, most people already know the party affiliation. I don't think anyone would have pegged Jesse Jr. as a Republican. LOL

I'm pretty sure Dan Rather lied and lost his job. God forbid a liberal would lie. LOL Phil Donahue? Who even freaking cares?

You seem delusional. Where is the liberal media? If it has to be pointed out to you, you're too far gone. With, apparently, no hope or change left. You are irretrievable. Doomed to your agenda. Have fun.
