That says it is a crime to bribe somebody to get a job. Are you accusing Sestak of bribing the White House to get a job that it appears he was voluntarily offered?
I don't get the connection here. Please... explain.
You have scenario reversed.
The White House is the briber and Stesak is the bribee.
Actually... I cannot for the life of me see a problem with it.
Since when do political parties not have conversations about what job somebody should have?
It was a bribe. It wasnt just "hey, you want a job". They didnt want him running against "their boy" so they bribed him. Most Americans think DC is full of crooks and liars, and this is just another example of that. You can say you dont care, but others do. I think the majority of those who say they dont care, only dont care because if true, it would hurt the Obama admin.
And whether you think its true or not, the truth should come out. What happened to the most transparent Administration ever? How many times did we hear that? Yet its been over a year, and there's been hardly any transparency in this administration.
One last point, In 2004 when Sestak ran for Congress, the Democratic machine here in Pennsylvania got all other Democratic candidates to drop out of the race so that Joe could have a clear shot as the war hero candidate. So, when I hear Joe, who I personally consider to be a backstabbing lying piece of garbage (this is based upon personal dealings) I can only shake my head as the bald faced hypocrisy of the man.
And yes, as a Democrat, I will still vote for him in November.
YOU are just an example of exactly what's wrong with many voters. So stuck in your partisan BS, that youll vote for someone you feel that way about, strictly because of the letter next to his name. ITs people like you, that goes for both Republican/Democrat voters, who arent helping this country. You and those who know nothing about anything because their too caught up in American Idol and Dancing with the "stars", and only vote for who the media/hollywood is gushing over..aka ..the "cool and popular" candidate.

Welcome to the Socratic method. Stick around and you might learn something.
So much for your "legal citation."
yeah you really schooled us.

Apparently not. You just posted again a law that has nothing to do with what happened here.
