Dale Peterson, Gun-Waving Alabama GOP Candidate, Charged With Shoplifting Again

The "crime" of shoplifting a bag of cashews is such a pathetic thing for somebody to do that it becomes painfully obvious the person has some psychological problem and attempting to make it a political issue is even more pathetic and is indicative of a psychological problem with anyone who attempts to do so.

Aren't most crimes committed due to "psychological problems'? Yet the right has no problem making a big political deal when it is a Dem politician.
 
So you toss stones anyway? Just wanting to make sure that your rules on others did not actually apply to yourself.

NO, I was showing that there is guilt on both sides, which was quite simple.
 
There's nothing hate-mongering is finding a hypocrite in the republcian party. And what are you talking about "sin" for?

Just referencing the old analogy.
 
Shoplifting a bag of cashews is a cry for help not a crime.

It's not a crime? Last I checked shoplifting IS a crime. It's nice to know you excuse a crime when it is a Republican. I'm sure you would do the same if it was a Democrat.......yeah right.
 
Read post 25, I don't like repeating myself.

Oh don't worry I read where you excused it since he is a Republican. But if he is not "psycologically" able to keep himself from shoplifting, he is not "psycological" able to work in a position he is in either.

But hey, we now know you excuse crimes, so that's good to know.

Its about as pathetic and indicative of a fella who posts a pic of his truck full of crap while going on a tirade against city folks and increasing either the MPG or price of fuel... ;)

Its all in the eye of the beholder i reckon.

Anywho I found it odd a fella running for Ag Commish was waving a rifle around running off at the mouth about rounding up criminals... not exactly what our Ag commissioner does here in Oklahoma. :confused:

So for me it isn't that a petty GOP guy got popped for stealing, rather that he was waving a firearm around, talking crap about criminals and then does a stupid stunt like that... wonder what a mental eval would do to his ability to keep a rifle in his home?
 
Obviously the man has a problem, his politics or religion etc is not the issue and trying to make it the issue makes this a bait thread.

So, I guess if the topic doesn't suit you it becomes a bait thread.

Maybe he's just a ****ing theif!

So, if a person is mentally ill and they commit a crime, it is actually not crime at all. In fact, the police department simply ignores the incident.

Yes, we know you attacked the dems and pointed fingers at them again. That was the very obvious attempt at your post which showed no list of examples of republicans to show the truth that both sides do it. It is nice you say you were trying to be fair and balanced, but it helps when you actually point to both sides when you point to both sides. Oh, and please try to live up to your own ideals because others may not take you seriously when you cannot take your ideals seriously.

See, there's evident intelligence somewhere in these here forums. To all republicans: The above is rational thought and analysis. Thinking I'm some evil monster because I expose the truth about republicans will not get you far.

The republicans commissioned an autopsy report for their party and go about acting like nothing is wrong. Let's give them more rope, shall we? Always fun to watch Obama play rope-a-dope. Lot's to learn there.

Almost sounds like you're saying that Liberal polticos don't have any morals, or values and that makes it ok when Charlie Rangle commit's the crime of tax evasion.

Obviously, you are incapable of understanding my point.

No surprise there.

No I understand you want to think you live by your own high ideals, but it simply is not true. Just because i recognize your hypocrisy doesn't mean I don't understand you wish to believe you are not a hypocrite.

You get mean when you are bested!

Was Charles Rangle put infront of the ethics committee? The difference is, that Issa has never brought his criminal activities up for review...making HIM a most definite criminal.

Behind Darrell Issa's Witch Hunt Is an Ethics Challenged Partisan Hack

ssa claims the investigations into his own business holdings are just retribution. Perhaps. But then, he does have quite the problem with his financial holdings posing a direct conflict of interest with his position, and he refuses to put his holdings in a blind trust. That’s on him, and it’s not cool.

In September of 2011, American Family Voices filed an ethics complaint against Issa for using his public position of trust to promote his private financial interests.

Citing numerous, reported instances of U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA-49) using his public position to advance his private financial interests, American Family Voices today filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).

Mike Lux, President of American Family Voices: “Alarms have been going off for some time about Darrell Issa’s apparent conflicts of interests, and the OCE should immediately review whether the Congressman has inappropriately exploited his position of power for personal gain… Rep. Issa should welcome with open arms such a review by the Office of Congressional Ethics into these apparent conflicts of interest.”

Want to know why? The New York Times (read in full) reported:

Even as he has built a reputation as a forceful Congressional advocate for business, Mr. Issa has bought up office buildings, split a holding company into separate multimillion-dollar businesses, started an insurance company, traded hundreds of millions of dollars in securities, invested in overseas funds, retained an interest in his auto-alarm company and built up a family foundation.

As his private wealth and public power have grown, so too has the overlap between his private and business lives, with at least some of the congressman’s government actions helping to make a rich man even richer and raising the potential for conflicts.

He has secured millions of dollars in Congressional earmarks for road work and public works projects that promise improved traffic and other benefits to the many commercial properties he owns here north of San Diego. In one case, more than $800,000 in earmarks he arranged will help widen a busy thoroughfare in front of a medical plaza he bought for $16.6 million.

Then there was his partisan refusal to allow Sandra Fluke to testify regarding women’s health (apparently clergy know more than she about women’s health):

How ethical is it to make millions while a Congressman with conflict of interest lingering in the shadows and you DON'T have open records and investigations into it?

Shame. Republicans hold the record for crimes committed in Congress. YOu wanna review Gingrich and DeLay as the recent most publicized?

But, Charlie Rangel's tax evasion wasn't a crime? Gotcha'!
