LOL We are is SUCH big trouble folks

[proud2BlibKansan]

I found these "Democrat Scandals" while perusing a local GOP message board. LOL Compare these to Tom DeLay and Jack Abramhoff and Duke Cunningham. Sorry, you repukes, when it comes to BAD behavior, you all take the cake. If this is the worst you can dig up, then we get the Good Behavior Medal for sure!!

Oh, and check out how they posted just these little paragraphs with NO LINKS - LOL.

Today, A Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee Staffer Is "Expected To Plead Guilty ... For Illegally Obtaining The Credit Report Of Republican Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele." ("Guilty Plea Expected In Senate Snooping Case," The Associated Press, 3/24/06)

Boxer Danny Romero "Told Police Officers That Gov. Bill Richardson Would 'Take Care Of' His Arrest On Aggravated Drunken Driving Charges, According To A Police Report." ("Boxer Claims He Was Partying At Governor's Mansion," The Associated Press, 3/22/06)

Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (D-MI) Represents The Poorest And Geographically Smallest Congressional District In Michigan, But "Leases A Cadillac DeVille For $816 A Month And Charges It To The Federal Government." (Jack Lessenberry, "Michigan Congressman's Wheels Raising Eyebrows," The Blade, 3/17/06)

1. Wow - these look like schoolyard pranks in comparison.

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. My thoughts exactly

[johnnie]

2. We can't kid ourselves

Look what a blow job caused. :eyes:

I wouldn't put it past the republican party to spend millions to prove a Democrat tore the little tag off of their mattress.

[Taxloss]

4. That's true.

And I bet more than one Democratic Congressman has a parking ticket lurking in his history!

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. That was me!

Damn I guess I can rule out a career in politics now - :cry:

[genieroze]

25. OMG! I'm guilty, am I a terrist now?

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Actually you would be a terrAist

[genieroze]

33. No a TEAR ist, rip the tag off. lol

[Taxloss]

3. What a snakepit of vice!

These piddling non-events make the astounding frauds perpetrated by the Republicans look ... even worse.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. I know - LOL

[johnnie]

18. Which infringement?

I guess you are talking about the mattress tag... LOL

:P

[DUHandle]

2005 Cadillac DeVille

Class: premium large car
Value In Class: 7 (what's this

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Who cares?

The school supt where I work gets way more than that per month as a car allowance.

Besides, it's a piddly problem.

[DUHandle]

23. I did not make my point well.

I found the statement suggesting that Carolyn Kilpatrick is living high off the hog to be fraudulent and that the RNC is looking to dig dirt when there isn’t any.

The size of her district and it’s average income is of no consequence, her transportation allowance is the same as the representative of any other Congressional District.

A monthly lease of $819.00 for a car is next to impossible.

A monthly transportation reimbursement of $819, which would include a lease, mileage and maintenance reimbursements is very likely.

It’s not exactly a piddly point, since manipulations like this from the GOP will give her opponent a chance to say things like, “If elected, I promise to not to spend your money on blah, blah, blah.”

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. OK gotcha

[AndyA]

17. That Cadillac payment might be that high

With no money down, and including tax and tags in the financing. I think they would normally be in the $600 range. Of course, with our government, it always wants to pay top dollar. No such thing as saving money...

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Yes when you compare this to the jillion dollar hammers

and toilets the pentagon buys, it is not that big of a deal.

[TorchTheWitch]

34. HAHA! We must be listening to the same songs!

SOLD A HAMMER TO THE PENTAGON
by Tom Paxton

Sold a hammer to the Pentagon
To the bang bang, to the Pentagon
Now I’m living here in Florida
Cause they made me a millionaire
They gave me $700 for every silly little hammer
So I sold them to the Pentagon
And it made me a millionaire

So you sell your nails
To the bing bang, to the Pentagon
Yes, you sell them nails
And they’ll make you a millionaire

Sold a coffee pot to the Pentagon
To the hee haw, to the Pentagon
And now I’m living on a golf course
Cause they made me a millionaire
They gave me $5,000 for every silly little coffee pot
So I sold them to the Pentagon
And they made me a millionaire

So you sell them coffee
To the hee haw, to the Pentagon
Yes, you sell them coffee
And they’ll make you a millionaire

Sold a toilet seat to the Pentagon
To the yah hoo, to the Pentagon
Now I’m living in a condo
Cause they made me a millionaire
They gave me $400 for every silly little toilet seat
So I sold them to the Pentagon
And they made me a millionaire

So you know what you can sell
To the yah hoo, to the Pentagon
Yes, you know what you can sell
And they’ll make you a millionaire

[noonwitch]

29. Considering her son leases a Lincoln Navigator for $25,000 a year...

And he is the mayor of the poorest city in the nation, yet charges the cost to the police department, after writing up the SUV as a police vehicle.

The situations may be small potatoes next to the Abramoff ties to republicans, but it's still corruption of the same nature.

[Canuckistanian]

6. There have been murmurs of "littering"

Also, some Democrats have been cited for "failing to get a bulding permit" while making a new patio deck.

What a bunch of hypocrites, those Democrats....

[sui generis]

7. how sad . . . for the GOP.

It's too bad there wasn't widespread money laundering, racketeering, bribery, and conspiracy to do all of the above, not to mention a web of corruption and deceit that stretches through most of the republican party.

Someone pulled a credit report? Yikes. Dumbass. Wrong strategy anyway. The first two democrats need to be replaced - they're not an asset to the party.

On the third one, the monthly rate on the caddy is $26 dollars a day. That's a GREAT rate. Also, the gummint is probably not going to purchase and depreciate this asset, or commit to a long term liability car lease, and if they're renting it and the budget says up to $30/day allocated, then she's actually getting the best value for money, and a reasonably safe car to be spending a lot of government time in.

[rustydog]

9. Wow a culture of corruption surpassed only by the truly corrupt

GOP. the worst of the three examples would be the lease of Delay's Misdemeanors that were dropped due to lack of interest.

The Republican party is adrift in a sea of corruption simply because Tom Delay, George Bush, Cheny, Melman, Boener(BONER. I don't give a fuck how he SAYS it is pronounced, fucking whiny kid.)Hastert,Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheny, Burns, Cunningham, Abramoff,Man on Dog Santorum and the whole hee haw GOP gang have chosen party power over the good of the country.

Let them try to smear the name of Democrats. By the way, Democrat, Republican, Green, Independant or communist...It doesn't matter, if you break the law, your ass should be tossed in jail.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. We're doomed!!

O Fortuna (Chorus) O Fortune

O Fortuna O Fortune,
velut luna like the moon
statu variabilis, you are changeable,
semper crescis ever waxing
aut decrescis; and waning;
vita detestabilis hateful life
nunc obdurat first oppresses
et tunc curat and then soothes
ludo mentis aciem, as fancy takes it;
egestatem, poverty
potestatem and power
dissolvit ut glaciem. it melts them like ice.

Sors immanis Fate - monstrous
et inanis, and empty,
rota tu volubilis, you whirling wheel,
status malus, you are malevolent,
vana salus well-being is vain
semper dissolubilis, and always fades to nothing,
obumbrata shadowed
et velata and veiled
michi quoque niteris; you plague me too;
nunc per ludum now through the game
dorsum nudum I bring my bare back
fero tui sceleris. to your villainy.

Sors salutis Fate is against me
et virtutis in health
michi nunc contraria, and virtue,
est affectus driven on
et defectus and weighted down,
semper in angaria. always enslaved.
Hac in hora So at this hour
sine mora without delay
corde pulsum tangite; pluck the vibrating strings;
quod per sortem since Fate
sternit fortem, strikes down the string man,
mecum omnes plangite! everyone weep with me!

[Maine-ah]

13. in comparison I guess not soo bad

but bad either way. I'm not pleased about 816 a mo. being charged to us. Thats more than my mortgage, and it sucks that someone would do that. Drunk driving is really bad in my book, too many friends killed that way, and look at all the ammo Kennedy gave them for his. The credit report thing, I don't know.

If it were republicans doing this, we'd be pissed. JMHO.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. The drunk driving charge was the dumbest, IMO

So a guy has dinner with the gov, gets a DUI on the way home and says the gov will get him off. How does that make the gov a bad guy? Unless they can prove the gov forced him to drink and drive and then promised to get him off (and good luck proving that) this is a nonstory.

816 is not bad for a car lease. I know local officials here in my community that spend more than that monthly on business cars. And they aren't federal congress critters.

The credit report deal is the worse thing listed and as nasty as that is, it is more of a fraternity prank than say, bribing lobbyists and buying a $2 million home. :eyes:

[PVK]

15. Someone should start a website about them

called "Red State Follies".

It would be modelled after the website/column "News of the Weird" and would feature news items uniquely hillbilly cracker redneck in nature. A great example would be the recent murder of a red state clergyman by his wife. Considering in what high regard red states hold their religious family values this seems like "it couldn't happen there".

[bunkerbuster1]

20. The "Bobo's World" blog used to handle this sort of thing...

alas, it's been inactive for awhile, but do have a look.

[genieroze]

26. Here ya go.

http://www.redmorals.com/

Edited to add, site needs to be updated it only goes to 2004. I bet they ran out of web space.

[ima_sinnic]

16. phew, they missed that jaywalking ticket that a Dem got recently

... holy shite, that would sink the entire party, if that got out.

oh, and don't forget that one who had several books a full three weeks overdue at the library and they had to send him or her a bill for the fine!!! sheesh, I'm not going to name names here, a scandal like that could also do great damage.

[The_Casual_Observer]

21. Sounds like a crime wave to me.

[Burning Water]

24. #1 is

actually pretty bad, IMO. We'd be hollering about it if a Repuke had done it to one of us.

The others, as you say, are piddly little things. Only to be expected from any kind of politician from whatever party. Again, IMO. But I'm a cynic.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. But it isn't as bad as what Duke Cunningham did

[Burning Water]

31. True, but

what Duke Cunningham did does not excuse anybody else's crimes.

[riona]

30. well, there goes the constitution
