Democrat Corruption

Remember the Dumocrat congressman who grabbed one of the military units sent to New Orleans after that massive hurricane to help survivors, to retrieve some of his ill-gotten gains he had hidden in his refrigerator? He was sentenced to 13 years in prison, one of the longest terms ever given to a former congressman. But he took advantage of a court ruling and was released until the case was adjudicated. When it was, he took a plea bargain and was sentenced to “time served.” Which means he mostly got away with his corruption, and gave a bad name to black elected officials in the South. Even so, he is in disgrace, and will be so for the rest of his life. I don’t expect he will ever try to run for an elected office, but his conviction won’t stop him if he does. As with former DC Mayor Marion Barry (also a Dumocrat) that conviction won’t stop him from being elected. That is yet one more mistake the Founders made, not prohibiting felons from being elected to office. (Wikipedia)
