We all had the chance to see a level of corruption exposed Thursday, as law enforcement officials in New York & New Jersey swept up 44 corrupt people in an international money laundering scheme.
Many were either politicians or rabbis. The media reported that there were Democrats & Republicans involved. We already knew neither party is exempt from dirt.
What the media left out was there were 43 Democrats & 1 Republican. The difference is that whether or not he is convicted, the Republican party will force their man from office.
The Democrats wil allow their people to continue to serve ,convicted or not. We need look no further than our nations capital to remember Democrat former Mayor Marion Barry smoking crack on TV. serving time in prison,and reelected by the DC Democrats. That would have ended a Republican career.
In Michigan, wife of Democrat, Congressman, John Conyers was indicted for taking bribes for a project she was initially against. She changed her vote when money was offerred. Rep. Conyers himself changed his initial position after his wife was paid. He has not yet been charged with any wrong doing.
Rep. Jefferson D-LA, was found to be taking bribes and had $90,000 in his Capial Hill office refrigerator. The Democratic leadership was silent. Had it been a Republican the Dems would have been up in arms, and the Republican leadership would have forced him out.
We saw Detroits Mayor convicted for lying about a relationship with a staffer and hauled off to jail, vowing to return. Even President Clinton was charged for lying about a relationship with an intern, but the Democrats protected him, even though he had plainly commited prejury in a court of law under oath.
The Democrats continue to fend off scrutiny of the obviously corrupt ACORN, because the organization funnels votes to the party. The Democrats will deny the mountain of evidence against ACORN and feign ignorance of the corruption.
Yes, both parties have some corrupt individuals. However, there is a difference, For Republicans it is a career ending event.
For the Democrats, corruption is a badge of honor.
