    I love how jefferson had to point out the right steps. It just sounds like a bad comedy. I can’t wait to see how the Dem’s and the Media (oh wait they are one and the same) spin this. Let me guess he was just putting the money under the steps as a way to strengthen the steps so the boards would not break.

    Probably to ensure the children receive a quality education.

    Jefferson should have had the cash delivered to his office sanctuary in DC.

    It’s impossible for a Democrat to be accused of bribery, the Obamasiah decrees it so.

    To borrow a phrase from Senator Obama, outrageous charges like this are a distraction from the relevant issues we are facing, they are divisive and have no place in the public discourse.

    Congressman Jefferson will be vindicated and entirely exonerated.

    Honest. Swear to God. May lightning strike me if I’m lying. Cross my heart and hope to die. On my mother’s grave. I’ll take a lie detector test if you want me to.

    Flash: Pre-requisite for election to public office – must be able to lie with a straight face while looking directly into the TV camera lens.

    now if Michelle could combine her success in media with spreading stories like this to a broader audience then we might get somewhere.

    Jefferson isn’t going to be in Newsweek or the NY Times, he’s a D. If we are truly going to have ‘new media’ in this country people like Michelle who know how to build an audience, need to realize they are the ones to bring this information to day light.

    Most ethical Congress ever! Tell me another bedtime story San Fran Nan. Any of us that would be in the same position would probably be sitting in the gray bar hotel waiting for our trial date, while this lying crapweasel will probably get acquitted or better yet receive a full pardon from President Obama Lama Ding Dong.

    Did you read that McCain’s policy on the subprime mortgage crisis was written by a paid lobbyist for a major bank with Billions of dollars on the line? Is it a coincidence that McCain’s policy was very good to banks?

    If you want to talk integrity, lets do that. Let’s start with the most important people — Presidential candidates rather than minor congressmen. Let’s talk about major issues — the Trillion (of hundreds of Billions) dollar mortgage crisis that threatens our economy, not a million dollar contract.

    Ok LGM how about one of Clinton’s staff being a member of one of the biggest banks involved in the sub prime mortage issue, or about Obama’s mideast policy chief talking to Hammas. See all three of them have people on their campaigns that are no good (just one more reason most of us here are not fans of any of them).

    “Talking to” is not the same as “lobbying for”. Reagan talked to Brezhnev, who was a bigger threat and a badder person. And there’s Rumsfeld meeting Saddam.

    There you have it. The Dimocrap reason she will get a pass. Someone did it bigger so we should turn our backs on this Minor Democrat because she is innocent (because of moral relativism).

    She is a person of integrity because others are worse? Idiot. Hey, Bible-man. Did she sin or is she without sin because someone sinned greater?

    Isn’t everyone getting tired of this same old conduct by elected officials? Time for term limits. We just can’t keep these criminals in office for years. It’s bad enough to swallow his light sentence for his other crimes, but now what?

    Well, that leaves you out. You not only have no integrity, you have no common sense, nor the aptitude for rational thought. Here’s a great idea…since you already tow the socialist party line, find nothing wrong with anything an elected Democrat does, why don’t you run for office? With your “street/blog cred,” you would be a shoo in! (Sounds of violent retching!!!)

    I would love to see every stinking one of them fired and forced to work for a living.

    ..and people wonder why our politicians refuse to listen to the voters.
