Family Values in action, redux, ad nauseum.

dems arent perfect but also in VA cuchinelli faces a decade or more for taking payoffs eg about $165000. Convicted, out on bail.

Don’t you just love those good ole’ Republican values? :smile:

McDonnell, not Cuccinelli, in Virginia.

The Cooch may have done illegal things, but he hasn’t been charged (or convicted) for any of them.

It’s a never-ending river of republican diarrhea flowing into the cosmic toilet.

And ANOTHER Repubicant political felon?

Tell me it ain’t so?

Somebody is coming to take away his guns. Soon.

Give it time with Cooch.
Notice how eerily silent he’s been since McDonnell’s conviction?

Republicans should be above the law. Besides the guy only misused campaign funds. They are rightfully his because his handlers made a return on their investment. They are the real America and should be able to commit the crimes they want. That’s what the constitution would say if today’s RATS on the Supreme Court read it the way the Founding Fathers intended.

Yeah.
I’m waiting for giatny from the SD Senate scandal thread to drop by and spout the same crap as he did there.

I’ve got three threads open presently with a Ā® ā€˜scandal’, a Ā® ā€˜conviction’, and a Ā® who can’t be bothered to read a House bill (VAWA)-- he then voted ā€˜NO’ against.

That’s a f^cking microcosm of Ā®s in office.
Worthless bast^rds. Every one.

All he has to do is say ā€œJesus, Jesus, Jesusā€ and they’ll let him off the hook.

The term misusing campaign funds is tossed out very lightly. People give for a reason and these scumbag politicians grab the money and spend it like it’s fun money.
Misusing is a kind way of saying, stealing or ripping of. This guy knew the money wasn’t for the purposes that he used it for but went for it anyway.
Bobby Harrell is a common thief in representatives clothing.

This is just too Palmetto for me : )

THese reapers are sure helping the choice for the next election. One after another finally getting a little sunshine on them. Pushed out of the dark shadows where they like to operate.
Need a new prison built somewhere in the desert for these special kind of political criminals. Not the country club type. The manual labor for 50 cents a day kind and it costs 50 cents a day for food and water. No parole or any extras. Set sentences for specific crimes against taxpayers and no negotiating. Just due the time you required for your actions.
Opps, sorry daydreaming/ lol

Why doesn’t this impact the Nikki Haley campaign? If it was a Democrat Politico and the Villigers would be breathlessly asking her and others to distance themselves from the Speaker.

lol this is great… ā€œThis is a political witchhunt! But, I’m not going to fight it, I’ll just plead guilty.ā€
