Bribe Accusations Hit Second Jefferson

Take a look at some of his congressional colleagues, He could not have done half of what he is accused of without help.

I’m a left coast liberal. I think both these guys need to treated the small as any other American accused of a crime. Bipartition corruption is undermining any remaining faith in our government. We should take some personal responsibility too. We are letting politicians, under the guise of free speak purchase our votes. We are too darn lazy to shut off the television and read what politicians stand for. We don’t read, listen or watch opposing views. We are blessed with the elected officials the majority of us voted for. I’m a confessed leftest. I want to see Feinstein investigated. She seems to have voted in a manner that helped her husband’s economic interests. See the difference between a liberal and a conservative. My values aren’t red or blue.

A corrupt politician is a corrupt politician. Democrat or Republican, they should go to jail for their crimes. I’m relatively conservative, but I agree with Michael Johnson’s post. We lazy Americans need to turn off the TV and pay attention to who’s running our country and what is happening. In the end, I think we’ll be surprised to find out that is doesn’t matter whether you lean left or right or are stuck in the middle, we agree on a lot more things, especially the things that made this country the best in the world, than what we disagree on.

O lordy where do I start I dont know what party I amn for but I do know that if stuff like this is going on in congress we as americans need to rethink how we do things and start getting full background checks from every politician that runs wouldnt you all agree ?

I live the nightmare Jefferson and his crooked kingdom have left. Hopefully, there will be more investigations done on Renee Gill Pratt, former N. O. city council person and Mose Jefferson’s longtime girlfriend. She gave Mose’s organization an SUV that was donated to the City after Katrina. Further, she had overpriced, underused city paid for office space that she rented from Mose Jefferson.
It will be interesting to see who else falls under the Jefferson corruption machine. After all, Nagin was supported by Jefferson’s camp, Marc Morial’s cronies are going down and singing all the way down. I expect sooner or later his dirty deeds will be exposed and his aZZ will be put in jail.
I can’t wait because for too many years, we had to provide the school with basic stuff like xerox paper, toilet paper, chalk, and other supplies that teachers should have. All the while, there were unairconditioned schools with too little maintenance being done. Have you ever been to New Orleans when the weather is 90 degrees and there is not a fan available to circulate the air???? It is hard to stay awake, let alone learn.
Yes, Jefferson and his gang need to be put under hell so we all can poop on them, as they deserve.

It is nothing new. Since the dawn of the Western Civilization all politicians have been corrupt and the drug of choice is always power and money. Of course, there are different levels of corruption ranging from tell lies to the people to getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Political corruption knows no colors or party affiliations. Political corruption is like “fire ants”, you can try to control them but you will never get rid of them.
Here are some thoughts to put some controls back in our government. (a). Term Limits – eights years max, no more career politicians. (b). Voting accountability in congress – no more “pork”. We have the technology for each congressman to vote “line item” in a bill. (c). Mandatory ten years sentence added to the sentence of any convicted “elected” official. Rigid, non-negotiable, no judge’s discretion, must serve the full term for betraying the people’s trust. Anybody for tweny years?
