WHAT ABOUT BARNEY FRANKS?

I don’t disagree with your conclusion but i think it matters not what race they are. Watch how this plays out. They go after corrupt dems today and early 2012 they find a pubbie or two to drag through the mud.
I have a feeling i should save this post for when it plays out exactly this way. Barry didn’t become the President on a whim. He started planning the day after the convention speech in 2004.

POSSIBLE CHARGES FACED BY CONG WATERS Official acts prohibited, misuse of Congressional funds, abuse of public office, violating oath of office, misuse of government position, abuse of government power; conflict of interest; influence buying; conspiracy to deceive; misuse of elective office, collusion, conspiracy to collude.

So will Waters have to stand in the well, get the same "naughty, naughty" lecture that Rangel will? 'Cause really, what big a deal is it, abuse of power, abuse of public office, violating the oath anyway? [/s]

It’s being done now to get these pig’s breaking the law out of the way as they may not have another chance in the future.

Let’s face it.
She can claim ignorance, and win, easily.

I hope so. But it’ll be labeled as a witch hunt/lynching, whatever, in order to try and get people to sympathize with these criminals.

She has changed. She did a “360” using her own words.

“Could this be a strategy to whitewash Democrat ethics and portray the charges as racist attacks...”

I’m not a racist.

I could care less if a persons skin is white or black.
I could care less if their hair is straight or kinky.
I could care less if their nose is flat or pointed.
I could care less if their lips are fat or thin.
But I do care when I am discriminated against because my skin is white.

[JDW11235]

As do I, as do I.

I saw him pick up the package and put it into his lap and it was 10 minutes later he became suspicious and stated what you said. He took possession and that is all the law needed.
