I didn’t realize how right Democratic leaders were about this culture of corruption thing in our congress. But what they forgot to say is that the most egregious perpetrators are in fact Democrats!
Imagine taking money from a terrorist group! An honest mistake? It’s so hard to tell since we know that Democrats believe that when they accept dirty money it actually becomes clean. You know, like turning water into wine.
WASHINGTON - Illinois congressman Danny Davis and an aide took a trip to Sri Lanka last year that was paid for by the Tamil Tigers, a group that the U.S. government has designated as a terrorist organization for its use of suicide bombers and child soldiers, law enforcement sources said. ~mercurynews.com
If there's anything more telling than the corruption and hypocrisy of Democrats it's the feigned innocence and pathetic denial of Democrats talking about a purely 'Republican' culture of corruption. But 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis says he had no idea! Gasp!! Absolutely no idea at all that these funds could have come from the Tamil Tigers, a terrorist organization based in Sri Lanka.
Davis' seven-day trip came under new scrutiny this week following the arrests of 11 supporters of the organization on charges of participating in a broad conspiracy to support the terrorist group through money laundering, arms procurement and bribery of U.S. officials.
The five-term Democratic congressman said he was unaware that the Tigers paid for the trip and on his required congressional disclosure form he reported that the trip was paid for by a Hickory Hills, Ill.-based Tamil cultural organization, the Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America. ~mercurynews.com
Who could have guessed that taking a trip to Sri Lanka funded by the Tamil Tigers 'cultural organization' could possibly mean taking money from a terrorist organization. Why, I might have made the same mistake myself if I were in 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis's shoes. I'm not sure what I would have to ignore to be that oblivious, or how ignorant I would have to be about Sri Lanka and the terrorist group I would be taking money from, but certainly I could make the same mistake... or could I?
In this same article we also learn that the 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis went on this trip and -- hullo? -- met with the leaders of this terrorist organization!
During the visit, Davis spent most of his time in a region controlled by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, as the group is formally known, and visited the organization's political headquarters. He also met with a police chief for the region appointed by the Tigers. ~mercurynews.com
Everybody makes mistakes, right?
Or perhaps this is all part of Bush's campaign of terror. Knowing that Democrats like 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis would willingly support terrorists, Bush probably concocted the whole 9/11 attack in order to persecute the aforesaid 'five-term Democratic congressman' Mr. Davis. Who knows, anything is possible.
But didn't, "The five-term Democratic congressman," say, "he was unaware that the Tigers paid for the trip..."? But then later on in this article he's quoted as saying the following:
Davis said he always assumed that the organization had a connection with the Tamil Tigers.
"I knew that they were associated with the Tamil Tigers, yes," he said. ~mercurynews.com
Boy, I just don't know what to believe anymore.

IF DEMOCRATS ALWAYS PROCLAIM THAT THEY ARE FOR THE POOR AND OPPRESSED I WONDER WHY SO MANY OF THEM ARE RICH! IT'S VERY EASY TI SIT IN AN IVORY TOWER AND CRITICIZE REPUBLICANS FOR CORRUPTION AND LOSS OF CONTACT W/THE COMMON MAN BUT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DEMOCRATIC LIP SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY. THEY LOVE THE BENEFITS-BUT AREN'T WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE. IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST THAT THE GREATEST GENERATION IS PASSING AWAY AT A RATE OF OVER A 1,000 A DAY-THEY WOULD BE ASHAMED TO SEE ITS KIND OF NONSENSE FROM OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVES. I CAN UNDERSTAND GREED-BUT TO COOPERATE W/TERRORISTS! WHY ISN'T THIS ALL OVER THE NATIONAL MEDIA-OH WAIT-THEY'RE LIBERALS TOO.

Typical. Appeasement is a terrible human failing. Some Canadians are very upset that Canada just added the Tamil Tigers to the terrorist org. list. As can be seen here by a leading Toronto Journalist. http://torsun.canoe.ca/News/Columnists/Margolis_Eric/2006/08/27/1779431-sun.html
Apparently he did no research and completely fails in his historical retrospective analogies.
Here is the latest on Tamil Tigers actions against the innocent.

People better wake up. Either give up your unalienable rights and tow the totalitarian line or educate those who know no better and convince them the world is on the crux of regressing or advancing. If we can get past this era of people trying to force their beliefs on other through terror, our children and the children of the world will have the most promising ever.

Well, any TRUE Left wing wacko would simply insult you for asking the question, and find some way to blame Bush for the incident.

Yes, there are Democratic scandals, stupid. The problem is you think a Republican cannot be corrupt. Take a look at your current administration. What about Abramoff and Lay? It's called hypocrisy. Look it up in the dictionary...

So a Democrat took money from terrorists.
I agree that that's inexcusable, but it's not like they actually give money to racist and repressive governments like the Republicans do.

1. Gore accepted money from Chinese.
Obviously wrong thing to do.
2. GOP (certain members) have recieved funds from terror
groups in past.
3. Majority of the house bank scandal was democrat.
65% of all wealth is in fact democrat.
Ie; the rich are mostly democrat because the best way to keep people down is to keep the poor, and the best way to do that is to taxtaxtax and taketaketake.
While not all crookedness is demo, it is mostly demo.

Repuglican invented the culture of corruption and you bring this fact finding trip up. You are just another tool of the Repuglicans spreading half truths, inuendo's and down right lies. It would be one thing if you made the money that Rush Limbaugh does doing it, but you do it for free. What a tool you are.

Yeh I already know that the Democrats are almost as bad as the Republicans now, which is why I am actual a real liberal, although not all of my views are typically liberal, hardly any of them are shared with either the Republicans or the Democrats.

Okay, my new philosophy is I'm going to answer the obviously provocative questions that have no real purpose but to inflame people. With a twist: I can see right through what you're trying to do, it doesn't bother me, and thanks for the 2 points! :)
