It's sick that some people seem happy about any of this. Is Democrat vs Republican really that worth it? It's just an affiliation. There are dirty people on both (all, really, because they're not the only affiliations) sides. The issue I see is unequal representation of that in the media, and that isn't always the case - only usually.
Example: de Blasio is accused of holding back plows to the Upper East Side for a full day and it makes the news, but no one's publicly crucifying him other than the immediate residents. It's merely a question: did this happen? Can we prove this happened, and who did it, and why? There's no proof he did it, just like there's still no proof Christie was directly involved, but no one's even bothering to look into it in de Blasio's case. This has baffled me since yesterday. The questions raised are as legitimate as Bridgegate IMO.
I've seen many people say that de Blasio is waging a class war and that he's angry at the wealthy who didn't vote for him and that's why they believe he did this on purpose. Either way, the city's response to that snowstorm was awful - I'd know, I'm in Staten Island every day and Tuesday was hell. They were somehow not at all prepared and de Blasio SHOULD be under fire for that at the least.
BENGHAZI!!!
If his team is guilty...and they are, a bipartisan truthteller wouldn't stonewall, pretend he forgot old friends like Wildstein ("who's he? Never heard of the guy"), defend "General" Samson at all costs and act like he's a hands-off leader. Fatman's burnt a lot of people in his rise to power. He's getting whatever he rightly deserves.
But liberals get away with sex scandals , money scams , all sorts of corruption , lies all day long ...
Both sides do it, but could you be more specific like this?
Republican husband & wife team of greed...
Former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell and his wife Maureen are set to appear before a federal judge on charges that they engaged in conspiracy and fraud, trading on his office to provide assistance to a businessman in exchange for luxury gifts and loans.
Or this Republican pundit...
(CNN) – Conservative commentator and author Dinesh D'Souza has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of making illegal contributions to a U.S. Senate campaign.
D'Souza allegedly made and arranged $20,000 in campaign donations to an unnamed campaign in 2012 and then reimbursed those who were directed to make contributions, according to the charges handed up in New York City.

Cool stories ! I don't need to point out specifics , if you don't know then your just a sheep. Just look up the history, I never said Republicans were better so I dunno why your so defensive , typical action from a liberal I guess huh ?
Point is , no side is equally better but rather then parading around trying to demonize 1 party how about waking up and fixing both parties. Just an idea.
I don't think a politician being crooked or being involved with a scandal has anything to do with being a Republican or a Democrat.
They're just crooked. Period.
Certain "scandals" dog Republicans more because Republicans are the fake moralists hating on gays then getting caught in airport bathrooms cruising for guys. Newt Gingrich flipping out about Lewinsky while cheating on both of his ex-wives. Constantly lying about "voter fraud" - it hardly ever happens - just to make it more difficult for minorities & poor people to vote.
And that tool Huckleberry basically called women sluts the other day. Stay classy!
Ah, but the lawyers always come out ahead in these things.
Christie has hired Gibson, Dunn as an adviser for the bridge closing issue, but Gibson, Dunn also represents the Port Authority in the AAA lawsuit against the PA for the toll increases. Some see this as a conflict of interest.
