More hypocrisy from the Democratic Party!!

Last I checked, they threw out Jim Crow laws about 50 years ago.  So no law can be made that references color.  That means that there is no law that says "except for black females". Looks like the culture of corruption is very rampant!  At least the republicans waited until they HAD power.

Democrats, where is your fake outrage about this? 

So not only is she a crook, but she's a sexist bigot too.  She really does belong in the Democrat Party.  :~D

It's hypocrisy, sweetheart, other than that, I agree.

Last I checked the incoming speaker Nancy pelosi swore to end all this. typical lies from the party that brings higher taxes, by letting the Bush tax cuts expire.
Tries to sneak a bribe taking judge {alcee} into and in charge of the intelligence commitee.

Tries to make a bribe taking, cut and running Jack { I lost all my heart and disrespected the corps} Murtha

More do as I say Not what I do. from a party bereft of ideas.

adddddddddddd she is divisive trying to keep the split between blacks and white alive.

I thought this had all been resolved as a clerical error more than a year ago.

While [Jim] Angle suggested that Democrats have been "forgiving" of Tubbs Jones, he did not explain what actions of hers would require forgiveness. As Media Matters for America has noted, though The Washington Times reported that disclosure forms filed by Tubbs Jones originally listed a lobbying firm as the funder for the Puerto Rico trip, the same article also strongly suggested that this disclosure was nothing more than a clerical mistake. The Times article noted that a Tubbs Jones spokeswoman said the listing of the lobbying firm was the result of "human error," and reported that a managing partner at the lobbying firm "denied that his firm paid for Mrs. Jones' travel," adding: "He offered to place his hand on the Bible." Furthermore, the Times noted that other House members on the same trip listed the advocacy organization Todo Puerto Rico con Vieques -- not the lobbying firm -- as the trip's sponsor. Unlike lobbying firms, "private groups, such as Todo Puerto Rico con Vieques ... are allowed to fund trips," the Times noted

You're kidding right? Even if (and that's a big if) Tubb Jones took this as a gift from a lobbyist, we are talking about $4K. Tom DeLay took illegal trips worth more than $200K--where's my outrage, you ask? Where's your sense of perspective?

The outrage for this is in the same place as the Democrat;s outrage over the $90,000 sitting in William Jefferson's freezer, or in the same place as the Democrat's outrage over the idea that one of the higher ranking members of their party -- a candidate for the number two job -- was a figure in the Abscam scandal (Murtha).  Even though Murtha never followed thru (because the "bank offer" wasn't high enough for him to take the Deal in his own game of Deal or No-deal), he's still scum that is welcomed because he is true blue.

Heck, where's their outrage over continuing to have Robert (not E. Lee, but instead...) C. Byrd, former KKK man himself in a leadership position in the U.S. Senate?  Never mind that he was a former Senate Majority Leader when only a few short years removed from that KKK history.

There's a host of places (heck, see my new article here: Dems played dirty tricks with dirt on Foley) where there should be outrage over Democrats and actions they've taken or not taken. Sadly the lemmings in the U.S. voting populace are either too stupid too see the actions and build up the outrage, or worse (and probably more accurate) they don't care about those actions because again, in their world the ends justify the means and the only ends they really desire are Democrats in offices.

I cannot believe all 72 trips paid for, hotel rooms payed for, food payed for were all on the up and up shades.

This is much like the fellow with 90 thousand in his refridgerator/

Much like jack Murtha saying < after we work together then we can talk about the 50 thousand.

Murtha was caught on abscam BTW.. a non partisan police group that specializes in set-ups.

um I NEVER DEFENDED DELAY! if he did it he should be punished.

BUT I never hear about a lefty saying the same thing.. just some lame excuses. {not that you are lame meg}

I also trashed foley for his faux pa. That is one big difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans feel break the law get punished no matter what party. Democrats feel break the law if your a republican get punished, if your a democrat.. lame excuse time.

Please Shades, tell me that you didn't just defend Tubbs by pointing out how much cheaper he can be bought than Tom DeLay!!! ;~D

Since when has the strict rule of law mattered to Dem supporters? 74 trips during the seven-year period. All the time we hear that while x,y, or z isn't illegal, it still exemplifies the "culture of corruption" when a Republican is the focus. It didn't matter that you couldn't get two legal experts with the same opinion of whether they were legal or not.

Nope, Democrats can do anything they like. They can stuff $90k in the freezer after accepting it on tape as a bribe. They can be in charge of financing the FBI when they are being investigated by the FBI.

They can say they'll enact the 9/11 commission's recommendation and then defy them immediately after winning the election. Shadesofgrey doesn't have a foot to stand on. The standards that Dems have demanded are the ones that now convict the Dems themselves.

MM--I honestly havent read anything on the 74 trips, so I can't comment on them. The one I can comment on is the one that I did. THe trip to PR which was legal and above board, but for which the papers were filed incorrectly and have since been changed.

BS--As for me not having a leg to stand on--it's a pretty good thing I'm not a Dem and don't work for Dems, huh?

I bust my ass to play this lobbying game above board on a daily basis -- and I do. So yes, it angers me when slimebuckets get away with bending/breaking the rules, cause frankly, it makes my job harder. But it also annoys the hell out of me when people jump on the backs of those who are playing by the rules when there is blatant and rampant corruption going on.

Ted, I wasn't defending Jones at all, I was defending my lack of outrage.

AH!  I see!  Democrat graft is nothing.  Republican (allegations BTW - or did you forget that?) Automatically bad!

Ah well, we have at least 2 years of excuses to go through now, dont we?

"But it also annoys the hell out of me when people jump on the backs of those who are playing by the rules when there is blatant and rampant corruption going on."

But you have to admit that it doesn't matter if they really play by the rules or not. Would you say that everything Delay was originally accused of was against the rules or illegal? Don't you think this is a 'do as I say, not as I do' situation?

Meg? if this was a Republican with same circumstances would you then be upset?

For me the problem is when it's a Republican you hear howling and calls for punishment from the MSM immediately. But same circumstances with a Democrat and suddenly the MSM is silent. Or The Democrats excuse it with a litany of wrong doing from the right. As if it's only wrong if a republican does it.

It's not considered graft or bribes when a Democrat gets caught, it's only against the law when a republican does it. IMO
