The Blind being led by the Blind.
Jesus said they'll BOTH fall into a ditch. 2nd: Has anyone checked the stuffing in the ballot boxes? Anyone? Huh? Anyone at all?

Gare,

Yeah, someone has checked. His name is Robert Kennedy Jr who had a widely spread article published in Rolling Stone earlier this year about the flagrant "stuffing of the ballot boxes" that happened in 2004.

Get with the times kid.

Dems love criminals. They grow them, they coddle them, they worship them. They just hate Republicans.

Throw the rascals in.

Stuffing in the ballot box....is that like the stuff in a turkey?

I can't understand why the citizens of Louisiana don't throw this rascal out. He is so obviously a crook. You would think they would support politicians who will advocate for them rather than steal from them. To me, this is just bizarre! (And (I'm a Democrat)

Maybe Pelosi's first act of running a more honest Congress will be to demand his resignation.
Oops, I forgot. Republicans resign in disgrace, Democrats just keep right on going.

Jefferson was not voted on by the citizens of Louisiana, but only by the people of his district, whether they live there or not. One should look at the recent levee reform bill and the just passed amendment REDUCING the number of paid assessors in the City of New Orleans, one of whom is Jefferson's sister-in-law!

Only in America. Republican offenders resign or are kicked out for their indiscretions. Democrats refuse to leave and/or get re-elected :
Scruggs, Menendez, Toricelli, Jefferson, Corzine, Reid

If Republicans are so honorable, why did Delay run in the primary? Why were Weldon and Sherwood "the Strangler" even on the ballot? How come New didn't quit until last week? And how come Foley got elected time and time again? Burns still hasn't conceded, and he should be in jail...

In the finest tradition of leftist, whatever they do is OK because it's for the greater good. Anyway, a pox on both their houses!

Take it easy, folks. In LA, it's hard enough to find someone who is "outside", let's not complain about small things like $90K of marked cash in the freezer. Most living ex-governors of LA live on taxpayer dollars as they always did - but now - "inside". Cool Cash Jefferson For Governor!

Amazing the lack of press coverage that Jefferson has gotten. Had he be a Republican, this would be on the news nightly. I commend ABC News for even bringing it up. CNN and the other news are ignoring him.

For the integrity of the Democrats, Rep. Jefferson needs to be kept from any committe appointments until he is either charged of cleared. I know a person is innocent until proven guilty, but I want my party to be better than the Repubs and a person with qustionable morality does not need to be given responsibility. Let him vote as the representative of the people who elected him, but that should be all. The slippery slope of hurbis is easy to go down.

To Jim Bellah
Two words for you.
Fox News
You have got a hide for talking about unfair reporting. Has Fox News ever said anything about anything that wasn't exaggerated or a flat out lie.

What I find odd about the story of the cash being kept in a rerigerator is that Jefferson like him or not is a smart man.Smart enough to have placed the money into a account in the Cayman Islands under an alias.So what did happen?Only an investigation will prove innocence or guilt and in America one is presumed innocent until found guilty.I am not defending him,just questioning the logic of the freezer and why we assume guilt before all the facts are known?

William Jefferson has not been reelected to Congress. Due to Louisiana's unique open primary he is in a run-off with Karen Carter as explained above. The article fails to explain (as most similar reports have done) the LA Open Primary System. All candidates for a position run against each other regardless of party affiliation. If no candidate receives 50%+ of the vote (this RARELY happens) the two top vote recipients are in a run off. Every article I've read on the subject talks about the fact that Jefferson won 30% percent of the vote while not pointing out that 70% of his district voted against him. 64,000+ people do not want him in office! A candidate who only wins 30% of the open primary rarely wins the final election. Everyone else who voted, voted against him.

All that being said, William Jefferson is not a Democrat problem; he is a Louisiana problem. Until you've lived in a state where you are forced to choose between a many-times indicted Democrat and a member of the KKK for governor (google "vote for the crook") you can't begin to understand.

Tad Dufelmeier:

Fox News is only one news agency. How about ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN? How much have YOU seen about Jefferson on them? What Democrats have called for him to resign?

No doubt Fox commentators like O'Reilly and Hannity are biased, but the news reporting is little different from any other news agencies. Look at their websites and see for yourself. They all report the national issues the same. It's the paranoia of the left that makes them think that someone not left leaning is biased.

The Clinton/Lewinsky thing would have stayed out of the news had it not been for Drudge bringing it out. Newsweek squashed it and yes, it was a big deal. The president of any major organization who was caught having sex (oral or otherwise) with an intern would have been forced to resign.

Wow sounds like the usual butterness and hypocrosy of the Republicans. Funny how Republicans say they are for reducing government and create the largest goverment in history, funny how they say they are fiscal conservatives, yet have run up the largest debt in history, funny how they claim they are "Pro-Life" yet rejoice in killing foreigners. They impeach a President for having an affair and yet were unable to find a Speaker of the House from their own party who was not having an affair.

What I have learned over the years is that every word Republicans say is a lie and illed with hypocrosy. Whatever happened to "Cast not the first stone," or my favorite...
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

Obviously it is time for the Republican party to turn its attention upon itself and try to actually stand up and do what they say they stand for.

"The Clinton/Lewinsky thing would have stayed out of the news had it not been for Drudge bringing it out. Newsweek squashed it and yes, it was a big deal. The president of any major organization who was caught having sex (oral or otherwise) with an intern would have been forced to resign."

So why was it that so many Republicans who were forced to admit their own affairs were not forced to resign? Oh yeah hypocrasy... it's ok for Republicans to be drug addicts and sexual predators but not for anyone else.
