Since, there are so many politicians out there that don’t care if they get caught because the most that will happen to them will be a slap on the wrist. If they go to jail, they get out quick and with money in there pocket. Some politicians think that they’re gods and do what they want without being questioned. Their decisions affect millions of people and literally ruin lives (people have died) by their callousness. Do you think that they should face the death penalty because in their eyes we’re all expendable?

Barry and Hastings were actually found gulity of corruption but elected anyway.

how many white politicians who have been found guilty are still in office?

Before you report this, it IS a serious sociological and poltical question.
this is not about dems and reps. It’s also NOT about activists. It’s about people who were found GUILTY and yet returned to office.
I’ll grant that Jefferson is still under investigation.

All too often we hear supporters of both sides resort to accusing the other of what they them self are being accused without responding to the question or accusation. Seems to me a childhood playground type mentality. So, the more direct question is; Do you honestly think that a response to an attack on your candidate which does not respond to that attack, but attacks the other side is productive and do you honestly think it causes you to appear as intelligent as you might be? …and please, if you don’t understand the question and can’t respond intelligently - please don’t respond at all. Thanks!

The 2007 Report on the most corrupt politicians has been published, and include the names of several current Presidential candidates. It also includes the reasons why they made the list. Is YOUR candidate on it? If so, do you care? If not, WHY?
Sorry Everyone - I meant to include the report link. It is the JUDICIAL WATCH commitee. Here is the link to the list.

Sex scandals, selling Senate seats, not paying taxes and that’s just the supposed holy than thou Democrats and the Republicans in the past have been just as bad. I guess it’s just safe to say that Govt. is just corrupt?

Politicians are bought anp paid for before they get into office but we the people continue to let them divide us into parties instead of focusing on removing all of them. When will we the people wake up and fix this? Are we all just so lazy we don’t care anymore?
