More lawmakers in NJ are being arrested for corruption. I thought your party was so honest? Will you crucify these people like you did Larry Craig?

Corrector hate to tell you this, but this is a story published by the Associated Press that Fox News simply rebroadcasted.
But to make it better for you and easier to swallow, here is a link to the New York Times.

Sounds to me NJ Dems needed some serious housecleaning. Whether Dems actually learn from this is any ones guess.
What did they learn from Chicago 1968 when the Feds took down 3/4 of Richard Daley's city government? Or Ken Starr Investigations and again how many went to jail on corruption felonies?
In fairness the Repubs have had their share of boneheads. The difference is Repubs go down 1 at a time, the Dems in groups.

It was the Republicans who crucified Larry Craig. The Republican Congressional leadership immediately tried to get him to resign. Not the Democrats. Most Democrats would probably be happy to have him stay in the Senate. He is only an embarrassment to the Republicans, and he only hurts the Republicans politically by staying.
But of course there are corrupt politicians in both parties.

Yes, I definitely will. I will crucify all criminals regardless of party affiliation. The Constitution guarantees us equality under the law.
Fox only names two out of eleven as Democrats. Did they miss an opportunity there or are the other nine Republicans?
They went to the trouble of pointing out that two other Dems were facing charges in another case. Why did they leave out the party affiliation of all but two of the people?

Have you been to Newark lately? It's about time.
We've never claimed to be honest and the reason Craig has gotten so much heat is that over and over again the Republican party has claimed the corner on family values. You have to back those statements with actions, not homosexual affairs.

local state lawmakers being arrested for wrong doing, this is unheard of for any party. This may be the first time it has ever happened!!!!!!!!
This happens to local politicians in lousiana pretty often(dems. and reps.), so i imagine it happens in every other state pretty often too.
Larry David was also a big hypocrite. Constantly voted against gays, and spoke out against homosexuality. Republicans crucified him worse than dems.

That was funny about poor Larry. Too bad he got caught with his pants down, huh? I wonder if he expenses his bathroom activities, so the Utah taxpayers pay for them. Something like, blew Bruce for $20 in stall 3, plus $10 for the clean up attendant..

I live in NJ. NJ is so corrupt.... seriously. The arrest of those people means nothing, if you ask me they need to arrest more. This state is so blue it's anemic.

Larry Craig crucified himself. Not one dem spoke out against him but a whole lot of Repubs did. Why are you listening to Fox Lies?
Repubs have a long history of sexual misconduct.

Anybody who is corrupt should be arrested. This is not a party issue, it is a legal issue.
