Wave of lawmaker arrests: They're all Democrats
[Image: 148lu6c.jpg]

Quote:More than a dozen recent cases of criminal charges or investigations against elected officials, including a rash of arrests in just the past couple of days, have one major thing in common.

They’re all Democrats, and, in many instances, establishment media seems loath to report that fact.

On his nationally syndicated radio show today, Rush Limbaugh recounted a number of the cases, including the gun-trafficking charges brought today against California state Sen. Leland Yee.

Limbaugh pointed out that Yee “was among the most vocal anti-Second Amendment Democrats in the country.”

“This guy wanted to eliminate it. He didn’t want you to have any guns, and here he is indicted for trafficking in military grade weapons,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh recalled that in 2011, Yee unsuccessfully tried to organize a boycott of his show after he mocked the president of China.

Yee is the third Democratic California state senator recently tied to corruption charges. Earlier this year, Ron Calderon was indicted for bribery and Roderick Wright was convicted of perjury and voter fraud.

“Folks, the FBI is up to something,” said Limbaugh. “The FBI is raiding and arresting Democrats all over this country. You know, it’s incredible.”

The new Democratic mayor of Charlotte, N.C., Patrick Cannon, was arrested Wednesday by the FBI and accused of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in bribes.

A historian told the Charlotte Observer that “such corruption charges are unprecedented in the city’s history.” The paper described the FBI investigation into Cannon’s activities as “an ‘American Hustle’-type operation.”

Cannon faces up to 50 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted on all charges.

Ray Nagin, the controversial mayor of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, was recently found guilty on 20 counts of accepting bribes and other charges.

Other former Democratic mayors charged with or convicted of serious crimes include Tony Mack of Trenton, N.J.; San Diego’s Bob Filner, Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit and Larry Langford of Birmingham, Ala.

Meanwhile, the offices of Democratic New York state Assemblyman William Scarborough were raided Wednesday, and Democratic state Sens. John Sampson and Malcolm Smith were indicted on federal corruption charges.

In Rhode Island, House Speaker Gordon Fox resigned after his office was raided this week as part of a joint investigation of the IRS, the FBI, the U.S. attorney’s office and state police.

Busy FBI

Limbaugh said he was fascinated by “all this FBI stuff.”

“These investigations that they’ve been engaged in have been going on for years,” he observed.

“It’s like they’ve been doing this for years under the cover of darkness and everything else in a way that is perhaps saving the country.”

Limbaugh speculated that the Democratic Party itself was behind this rash of stings in order to “take out all their bad apples before the next election.”

He asked: “It really is hard to believe that the FBI would be working against the wishes of the [Obama] regime, isn’t it?”

The radio host played an audio montage of establishment reports on the arrests in which none of the reporters mentioned that the accused were members of the Democratic Party.

I guess the cons are better at hiring people to do their dirty work for them.

More Than A Feeling

But your "feeling" doesn't apply to the Benghazi scandal, the IRS scandal, the F&F scandal, or the Obamacare scandal, right? Your feeling only applies to conservatives where there is not a smidgeon of evidence that anything was even wrong, but in your mind they guilty of something.

How do you know where I stand on these issues? I don't think I've made one post here about any of them.

My common theme has been modern politicians are scumbags.

Yeah, clearly there being no evidence of a crime is evidence of a crime.

I am not a liberal. I have never voted for one and I have never been registered as one.

If there is one thing that I think ruins this forum more than anything ( and I have sometimes fallen victim to it) Is that everyone in here is labeled a liberal or a conservative.

In reality, only wing nuts should be called that.

And anyone that doesn't agree with Obama's failed left wing programs is a dirty racist.

Fit, did you vote for Obama? If yes, then you're a liberal.

I do know that a few years back there were numerous office holders in El Paso that were being jailed for corruption and every last one was a Demoncrat.

When you try to deflect away from corrupt liberals by using crimes conservatives were never even accused of, you're a liberal towing the party line. But you can prove me wrong by telling us where you stand on the issues I mentioned.
