Bob McDonnell Scandal.Laughable In Comparison To Long List Of Democrat Scandals.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

Anyone remember the Charlie Rangel Tax Scandal?,And what about the Jon Corzine "Missing Billion Dollar"loss? Harry Reid gets away with bribing members of congress with tax dollars.The list goes on and on and now they are after Governor McDonnell over receiving a few gifts? Maybe it's because he is a "Republican"? possibly running for President, just like Chris Christie?,who are they going to try to take out next? Cruz and Rand?

Funny how all of the Republican so called Stars in VA (RINOs) Keep going down like dominoes..Cucinelli who is a good dude, Allen with the idiotic alleged latino slur , now McDonnell…. How many DNC operatives plus WAPO and Politico does it take to go hunting in suburban VA? This is like 1937 Germany and Va has been infiltrated.
Terry the punk as Gov? Really?
Puhleeze!
Bet they can see Arkansas from the Lincoln Memorial! LOL

EXCUSE ME!!!!
Are you saying, “He may be a crook, but he is our crook”?
That is called Situational Ethics. Situational Ethics are only used by liars, crooks and oily politicians. I have no idea if Bob McDonnell is guilty of any of the charges but if so, he needs to go to jail not to the Senate. We have way way too may crooks in Washington now. This nation needs honest leaders not more of the same old same old.

and to think no one got into any legal trouble after pissing off 500 million on Solyndra? what, no big deal? it’s only money?

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

and what about all the %$#!)(&! Harry Reid has gotton away with? especially the lying!

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

well at least Mr.McDonnell didn’t respond by saying, “What Difference Does It Make” !!

Voters in VA on Jan. 21, 2014 elected a liberal Democrat to the state Senate, giving the party a one-seat edge. A liberal Republican “third choice” spoiled the Republican candidate’s rather weak chances.

I believe you are replying to me and no I do not believe in situational ethics for anyone. I was simply pointing out that the RNC in VA appears to be in somebody’s crosshairs. I don’t know McDonnell’s deal either I was merely pointing out recent “coincidences” with politicians who may have been former challenges to a certain carpet bagger who used to live in Ark.

Take a deep breath.

If party trumps everything then of course you are right.
John McCain got away with accepting bribes as part of the Keating Five. Is that cool with you since he is a Republican? Sorry, but I would vote for an honest Liberal(a rare bird, I know) before I would vote for a crooked Conservative (not as rare a bird as I would like).
HONESTY trumps party for my vote every time.

[Tupelo]

if you looked at who my post was addressed to, you would see that it did NOT have your name on it.
I wrote my post before I even saw yours, so I do not have a clue what you are talking about.
I know that any deviation from the accepted orthodoxy here a considered a crime against nature but sometimes I just cannot go along with the dishonesty.

[red river jack]

I agree with you. “He is a crook, but he’s our crook” and “there are worse crooks out there” doesn’t fly with me. If he and his wife are guilty of being greedy bribe takers and shakedown artists they should be convicted and penalized.

[ReaganÜberAlles]

If you would only vote for an honest anything you will never vote. Grow up. Everyone is corrupt, including you.

[Cyman]

McDonnell is a crook, be him Republican or Democrat or Libertarian or Independent.

Not entirely correct.
She won 53-38/-10 BUT we will never know how many people stayed home because of apathy AND the Govt People of Loudon County had the day off.....

We still have a ‘chance’ the D in Tidewater only won by 9 votes and the R called for a recount...HOWEVER I really don’t expect the R to win the recount (HA).... if the D wins the Tidewater still 20-20 with the only change being a D Lt Gov the tie breaker...

I believe all the crooks should be treated the same and the prosecution of them should be equally as vigorous. What we are seeing is a trend of investigation and prosecution of Republicans being more widely reported than any for Democrats (if they are investigated at all).

This morning Joe Scarbouro was pretty good on this, he was ripping Holder for wasting federal taxpayer $$$ to try to destroy their lives over this witch hunt.

Pointed out how a state governor or his wife receiving gifts is not against Federal law, yet they indicted him and her for it.

And the ‘lying to investigators about non-crimes’ charges are lame too,

...the difference in this case being that the AG, DAG, AAGs and all of the US Attorneys are now Obama appointees.

As a Virginian who voted for this tax-raising fraud, please don’t try to tell me I should be at ALL tolerant of these allegations. If he is found guilty, he will deserve whatever he gets. He gets no sympathy from me.
