When did the dems immediately demand a disgraced member resign?

Cold Cash Jefferson-NO

The convicted Mayor of Detroit-NO

Maxine the Moron-No

The Kennedy who drowned a woman-NO

The Kennedy who was DUI-NO

Mel "the Rapist" Reynolds-NO

Marion "Snort" Barry-No

Barny Frank-NO

Gerry Studds-NO



the minute duke Cunningham was indicted by GOP USA Carol Lam's office there were many calls for him to step down. Livingstone resigned the minute Larry Flynt exposed his infidelity. Buz Lukens (my former rep) was gone after trying to get sex with an underage girl (his loss was Boehner's gain)

So no, you cannot prove your wild claim. Thought not.
 
LOL!

so thoughtful a comeback

it was not too long ago when republicans drummed out their senate majority leader for telling a joke of admittedly questionable taste at an old man's birthday party

and the democrats once came within a half dozen states of nominating for president a man who accidentally killed a girl while drunk driving, then left her to drown, then rushed to try to establish some bogus alibi

it is what it is

say hi to charlie
 
Blagojevich keeps crying about not being treated fairly like O'Donnell, but he appears to be guilty of something. I heard the phone calls on the news. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are know for crying wolf when it comes to this stuff. It doesn't make any of them look less guilty...

If they don't have a better defense other than saying their an innocent victim caught up in a political witch hunt, then that's not really a defense IMO... Gimme something better.

You're one to talk about proving wild claims. Still waiting for a response in the other thread (unless I missed it today).

What other thread. I do tend to document my claims.

The impression you give is that you have already found her guilty, without the benefit of anything as mundance as evidence, an investigation, etc.

I feel sad for people like you. People like you are the reason things in this country are going in the wrong direction.

Yup. reminds me of your fellow MEAN GIRLS members who in the thread on the snowstorms back east have already found unions guilty of killing people.

from your buddy ptf219

Unions caused deaths it will be investigated. This why I got out of unions long ago. They abuse their power

If CREW and Melanie Sloan are the only one's investigating than I suspect it's more about politics than any real crime.

Melanie Sloan once worked for John Conyerers (D)

Crew goes after Foley (R)

CREW and Soros go after Palin for her wardrobe.

amazing how many MORE Republicans have been investigated as compared to Dems. by CREW and Soros. I guess maybe republicans are more prone to corruption than dems.:roll:

Hey look, more random Soros references. You and he should get married.

Fortunately, courts in this land do not base convictions or even indictments on what "I think". There is lots of 'talk' and rumor about Conyers and his wife and just what was between them. I prefer to leave that to the beauty and barber shops of the land and concentrate on facts as they are known and made known.

Don't worry about comments like that. It's just an evasion technique to avoid talking about what he does not want to discuss.
