Gee, a politician allegedly using his office and political power for personal gain? Shocking, isn't it. Research the growth in net worth of most politicians during their term in office and after leaving office. It will make your stomach turn.
Omg. Quit with the holier than thou crap. Politics is about power and control. What's the saying? Power corrupts absolutely, or some such. That is why all politicians are guilty until proven innocent.

LOL at Holier than thou, and then you end by saying an entire group of people in guilty until proven innocent.
Not disagreeing. Just all too often when this occurs one side or the other tries to make it sound like its just the other side doing this. nope.
I see more posts about R's doing evil deeds than the opposite. YOu know the old charge "well the party of personal responsibility, family values...la la la"? I guess the D's are the party of "its ok to cheat and lie to the people"
Politicians are corruptible and the more power and money they have access too bring out the worst. I would love to see money out of politics, but it will never happen.
Your kidding a corrupt politician? Remember for every corrupt politician their are private people who are involved also. Then there are the numbers doing same everyday; not politicians. Tax fraud by unreported income alone last year was estimated at 300 billion alone. by IRS. Then other frauds committed against government programs and you have a lot of criminals not charged.

I think you missed my point, even when we try not to label people, the labels still come out because its a race to call one side more corrupt than the other.
If he's guilty, then he deserves whatever the law calls for as a consequence.
