It's all an elaborate Republican setup. Honest


Probably not, but if it were, it'd look identical.

Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

Would your response to all this be identical if it had been a Pubbie congressman who was "singled out"?

Pointless. Everyone who has posted here so far agrees it's immoral, regardless of party.

Someone had to be first. Again, I understand the point but hardly conclusive evidence of someone's rights being violated.

It sets the perception that administration is doing something about the rampant corruption in congress, driven at the moment, largely by their own supporters by stinging a marginal figure in the opposition party.
I suppose this is where we part ways. I don't believe for a moment that corruption in Congress is 'driven' by one particular party over the other. It's pretty much the opportunistic bastages on either side that will take it where they can get it.

Quote:
Yes, congresspeople shouldn't take bribes, but offering a token example of enforcing that law isn't the same as actually doing anything about it.

Of course he should be prosecuted, but if the executive branch is going to prosecute this type of operation it better be extensive and equally targeted.

Get informants to volunteer to bury as many Pubbies as they do Dems, and problem solved. I'm not saying this couldn't be an instance where someone is being unfairly used to make a point, but he's still set himself up as a pretty decent target.

I'm not talking about whether everyone agrees it's immoral regardless of party. I'm talking about the fact that the very next quote in your post would've been ridiculed mercilessly if a Pubbie had gotten busted and the quote came from gbaji.

Well I think it's about time that they caught one of these f*cks. I am sure this goes on all over the place, everyone else just isn't as stupid.
