Isn’t this racist?

“....one of the Lowcountry’s most established and colorful political figures....”

[Cowboy Bob]

What is it with Black politicians and ethics? (I,e., lack of them)

[ScottinVA]

State Sen. Robert Ford, one of the Lowcountry’s most established and colorful political figures

Colorful, in the race-pimping vein?

[freeangel]

Black democrat Tyrone Brooks in GA is under investigation, too. He swears it’s because he’s investigating black lynchings way back when.

Runyon said Ford’s problem is poor record keeping.

Sounds like the folks in recordkeeping at the White House. All I've heard today is that Shulman only went to the WH 11 times, not the 157 that was quoted from Secret Service records.

I think the reporting on that came from The Atlantic.

Runyon said Ford’s problem is poor record keeping.
The why did he resign?
Ford's problem is he's a crook.

[aomagrat]

Wow! A democrat who has the decency to resign instead of making excuses and denying everything when caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Who would have thunk it?

Runyon said Ford’s problem is poor record keeping. “Nobody would accuse Robert Ford of having any kind of system,” he said. “A lot of folks know how to serve the community but don’t know how to keep their records straight.”

Lol! Amusing, everybody would be screaming racism if a Republican had suggested he didn't understand finance laws or was bad with money. But his defense boils down to, "Iz just poor black man tryin' ta help my fellow brothaz, Iz don't know nothin bout them fancy campaign finance law'z in such..."

At least the article mentioned his party affiliation in the first paragraph,
not the last.

“A lot of folks know how to serve the community but don’t know how to keep their records straight.”

They bought porn and Rolex’s but they don’t know how much. Yeah, I want them handling the finances of the country.
Face it, these community servers can’t keep their hands out of the till. We need to legalize bribery and theft so they can serve the community.

What flag is that on his lapel? It’s not a US flag.

Thanks for posting this. His resigning immediately tends to suggest there is some merit to the charges. If he was innocent, I think he would stay and clear his name.
