Get real! Hey, all of you defenders, I challenge you to come up with a list! I see a lot of accusations regarding some democrats, but nothing to substantiate these claims. These are convicted pedophiles, people! At least I produced a history of names & dates. What have you got...an adulterer? How does that compare? O danny boy...how do you know Clinton cheated on his wife 65 times...were you there? & what does adultery have to do with pedophilia? Periwinkle, it's very interesting that in your research of democratic corruption you could find all those scandalds and...not a pervert among them! Wow!

Public Comments

1. Ummm. No.
2. And Clinton did what? Both sides are the same...why can't you see that?
3. Only 65, huh? When are you going to list the thousands of raw-veggie eating, sweater-wearing, limp-wristed, Birkenstock-shod, Volvo-driving weak sisters that call themselves "liberal"?
4. If they were God fearing they wouldn't also support war and advocate for torture
5. NO! Aren't they all happily married, church-going folks with traditional values, preaching the same?? R O F L
6. Like a typical dumb liberal you forget your democratic president was caught lying to the grand jury about having deviant sex with a young clerk. Not accused, caught red handed.
7. They must do a lot of repentence. GOD BLESS America
8. Generally no, but don't have me make a list of all the democrats who have done exactly the same thing, should we start with Pelosi and Reid?? It would be very embarrssing and what good what that do.
9. No. But then politics in general is not a very honorable undertaking these days.
10. Looks like you're spending a large part of your life bashing Republicans. Don't you have anything better to do? They can come up with at least as long a list of bad Democrats.
11. Troll. Nancy and NAMBLA have no problems with any of this stuff. Why should you care if your fearless leader doesn't?
12. I didn't read through all of that subtext (there are only so many hours in a day for crying out loud!), but I think that the better question would have been if there are ANY honest people in DC. . . Politician and liar seem to be one in the same now days.
13. Hell no.
14. This list proves WHY they need a "God" to hide behind. It directs attention away from what they actually do, and when they do get caught, they blame it on everything and everyone else...instead of taking personal responsibility for their actions. "Oh, it was alcohol...oh, it's the drugs that my doctor prescribed..."
15. First you have got to be kidding me. You look at 65 different people and try to make the connection with the hole party you need help. Are you also trying to tell me that if you looked at the left you won't find the same types of thing NMBLA look it up if you don't know what it means. you need to stop being closed minded O wow Me a Con. telling a Lib. to stop being closed minded.
16. I see you have 65 offences on your list. Well Bill Clinton alone cheated on his wife 66 times. And don't get me started about the rest.
17. Hey everybody, look at what I got! Democrat corruption over the last three months Democrats are harping on the corruption of the Republican Party. Please note that Democrat corruption in government is widespread and far reaching. I could have listed many examples of Democrat corruption such as Sandy Berger stealing documents from the National Archives- however- I decided to look at headlines over the last three months. The below are headline from September - just over 3 months of Democrat corruption. 1. An independent counsel who investigated possible tax violations by former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros charged that the Clinton administration thwarted his efforts to get to the truth. 2. U.S. Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) is under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for possible bribery in exchange for promoting business deals in Africa 3. Federal prosecutors alleged in court documents that Ernest Newton, a former state Democrat Connecticut senator worked with a reputed mobster and his associate to try to stop police raids on businesses and advance their business interests 4. Clarence Norman Jr., the longtime powerbroker of Brooklyn NY Democrats was found guilty of intentionally soliciting illegal campaign contributions. 5. A top aide to Jim Black, the Democratic speaker of the state Legislature of North Carolina, resigned amid reports he had received payments from a company hoping for the lottery contract. The .State Board of Elections is investigating Black's campaign finances. The investigation comes after the group Democracy North Carolina said it found evidence that video-poker operators were funneling money through unsuspecting donors to Black's campaign. 6. West Virginia.Logan County Clerk Glen Dale "Hound Dog" Adkins admitted to selling his vote for $500 in the 1996 Democratic Party primary, while Perry French Harvey Jr. pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe voters in last year's Democratic contest 7. Former Democat Gov. Donald Siegelman of Alabama was charged in a "widespread racketeering conspiracy" that includes accusations he took a bribe from former hospital executive Richard Scrushy for a key state appointment. 8. Frank Ballance - a former Democrat Rep. from North Carolina was sentenced to four years in federal prison for conspiring to divert taxpayer money to his law firm and family through a charitable organization he helped start. Ballance, was a state senator before being elected to Congress in 2002, also agreed to repay $61,917 and to forfeit $203,000 in a bank escrow account in the name of the John A. Hyman Memorial Foundation. 9. Five Democratic activists in Wisconsin accused of slashing the tires of vans rented by Republicans on Election Day 2004 are currently on trial 10. Chuck Chvala, a Former Democrat Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader was sentenced to nine months in jail for felony misconduct in office and illegally funneling campaign contributions. Chvala had reached a plea deal with prosecutors earlier this year, admitting to charges that he directed a state employee to run a political campaign and used an independent expenditure group to funnel campaign contributions to a fellow Democrat. 11. Brett Pfeffer, a former legislative director to Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting bribery of a public official and conspiracy. 12. Raymond Reggie, a New Orleans political Democratic consultant and fund-raiser who is Senator Kennedy's brother-in-law was sentenced to a year in prison yesterday after pleading guilty to bank fraud charges. Well??? Isn't that interesting to find out what democrats are up to? And oh, there's some other stuff, too... Like... "The Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history," Pelosi pledged on election night. Five days later she wrote Murtha a letter endorsing his bid to become her No. 2. Not the most promising start. http://newsbusters.org/node/9099 ------------------------ Just two days after retaking the House and promising to end the "culture of corruption," Rep. Charles Rangel and a dozen other congressmen rubbed elbows with business leaders in sunny Panama. They attended a conference in Panama City's luxurious $190-per-night Caesar Park hotel - which has a sauna, pool and 24-hour casino "all set in a lush tropical setting more like a resort than a business hotel," according to its Web site. While some members say they paid their own way, the conference had big-bucks corporate sponsors, including Pfizer, Citibank, AT&T, American Airlines and Time Warner. Rangel, who will chair the Ways and Means Committee and who has written Caribbean trade legislation, headed the delegation to the Caribbean Multinational Business Conference. "I never saw a pool, a beach or anything," Rangel told The Post. "Of course, I play a major role in it because I am a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee." Rangel said there was no bad symbolism to the business conference, even though Democrats just knocked off Republicans caught in a corruption scandal that involved lobbyist-sponsored trips. Rangel says he paid his own way. Rep. Ed Towns (D-Brooklyn) was among about 12 Congressional Black Caucus attendees. Rangel said the event had "nothing to do with Congress" and said there was "not a lobbyist in the group" - although he later added that Macy's and Verizon sent representatives. http://www.nypost.com/seven/11142006/news/nationalnews/junket_for_democrat_corruption_crunchers_nationalnews_geoff_earle.htm ------------------------ GOP's Culture of Corruption Vs. Democrat's Culture of Weakness by David Sirota The American Heritage Dictionary describes the term "weak" as "lacking firmness of character or strength of will, lacking aptitude or skill, lacking the ability to function normally or fully or lacking authority or the power to govern." Incredibly, even with President Bush at an all-time low, we are watching the Democratic Party in Washington fulfill all these definitions and more. Let's just forget about the fact that congressional Democrats refuse to take a serious position on the Iraq War - the most pressing national security issue of the day. Let's forget about what a joke it is for the party to think it is going to compete on national security without taking a serious, contrasting position on the war. Let's even forget about the fact that the party is still too afraid to do this while polls have now shown for 3 years that the American public wants a change of direction on war policy. Let's just take a look at what's gone on over the last week. First, you saw the House Democratic Leadership publicly pee down its leg in knee-shaking fright, removing a major report on Republican corruption from its website. Why? Because they feared the GOP would yell at them about it. Now, a sane person would say - that would be great! If the GOP did that, it would call attention to the report, right? Yes, you are right - but today's congressional Democrats are apparently so afraid of their own shadow, so self-absorbed and comfortable in the minority, that they are afraid even to bait the GOP into doing what they should want them to do. Then, yesterday, you saw Democratic Senators run for cover when one of their own - Sen. Russ Feingold (D) - courageously asked the U.S. Senate to stand up and defend the Constitution by censuring the president for breaking the law with his illegal, no-court-order domestic wiretapping scheme. Again, polls show the public believes the president should have to get a court order, and should not be able to simply make up laws on his own. Yet, Senate Democrats - cowering in fear in the comfortable confines of the Senate cloakroom - refused to back up Feingold. The specific reactions were predictable, but no less nauseating. The Washington Post gave voice to the omnipotent Democratic "strategists" - you remember, those are the professional political hacks who have run the party straight into the ground: "Several Democratic strategists said surveillance issues are not Bush's most vulnerable spot, and they fear the party may appear extremist. 'It is more likely that a big censure fight would have the effect of rallying folks to his side,' said one Democratic strategist and former Clinton aide. 'While some in the Democratic base want retribution for what happened to Clinton,' the adviser said, 'I think there is a larger reluctance to try to remove people from office.'" First of all, no one was "trying to remove people from office" - it was a censure motion. But more importantly, you just have to sit back and say "wow." What a way to back up a courageous move, huh? Send out the unnamed party "strategists" to torpedo any sign of strength. It's so predictably pathetic it's hard to even be outraged anymore. Then there was Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) who the AP reports "said he had not read [the resolution] and wasn't inclined simply to scold the president." Now that's showing "strength" huh? When you look at all this, you really think you are watching a Saturday Night Live skit about a political party. It's just so ridiculous, so pathetic, so inane that the people who are behaving this way just HAVE to be joking. It just HAS to be a comedy sketch. But it isn't. Here you have President Bush at 36 percent in the latest Gallup poll. That is "a record low" with "the decline showing mostly among independents, with a substantial decline also found among Republicans," according to the Associated Press. Here you also have Vice President Dick Cheney with an 18 percent favorability rating, according to the latest CBS poll And yet, Democrats, like paranoid deranged totally-out-of-touch lunatics, are hiding in the shadows, afraid to do anything. Look, I'd like to believe this is going to work as an election strategy, because I'd like to see Democrats win in 2006. But here's the thing: I live in the real world, not the Washington bubble. Expecting voters to be so stupid and so naive that they will vote for a political party that portrays itself as this weak is, again, something out of a Saturday Night Live skit. E.J. Dionne put it best in a recent column: "Democrats are so obsessed with not looking 'weak' on defense that they end up making themselves look weak, period, by the way they respond to Republican attacks on their alleged weakness." The same could be said for all other issues. There are so many invertebrates walking around calling themselves Democrats in Washington these days - whether politicians, staffers, or consultants - that being weak and pathetic have become synonymous with the party label in our nation's capital. And while Democrats may rightly berate the Republicans' "culture of corruption," they have a lot bigger problems dealing with their own "culture of weakness." The question, then, of the 2006 election is really simple: will voters support the GOP's culture of corruption, or will they support Democrats culture of weakness? Because, regardless of what blowhards like Charlie Cook or wishful-thinking Democratic consultants say, that's exactly what this election is going to be about. Democrats will air lots of commercials hammering the GOP for the corruption scandals, and the GOP will air lots of commercials hammering Democrats for having no positions at all on major issues. You can already see their strategy - just look at how House Speaker Denny Hastert recently aired this message loud and clear. Frankly, that's an awful comparison for Democrats. People certainly hate corruption, but polls show most believe both parties are corrupt. And people would likely rather have a corrupt party running the show, then one that is so weak, so indecisive, and so needlessly frightened of its own shadow that it can't take the most basic stands. And unless Democrats start turning this around, all their righteous, and well-grounded indignation at the GOP scandals will sound like an infant whining and crying in its crib - not an effective call to remove the GOP from power. http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0314-31.htm ------------------------ Geez, I can post all of them here... There's too much scandal going on among democrats!
18. Some are; some aren't.
19. Free your politically biased mind and turn your searchlight honestly to democrats, or better still all politicians, church leaders and goers, and indeed the american society, you'll see that america sucks: morally. Perverse life style is accorded priority in media reports and duplicated across the nation at lightening speed, and what bullshit does the rest of the world hear? Yea, america is a 'civilised society'. You guys surely need DELIVERANCE
