      Renzi has been on the Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington (CREW) list of most corrupt congressmen for 3 years - glad to see that inspite of Rove guidance to go after only Dems that Renzi is now indicted!

      The same CREW list has 22 congressmen on it, all repugs except 4 dems. The only Semnators on the list are 4 Repugs led by the likes of Ted Stevens, the "bridges to nowhere" and you don't have to tell Congress the truth guy!

        Though I do belive that any corruption in government is bad and should be dealt with; Isn't it funny that the Feds can always find time to charge GOP folk for stuff like this, yet when it comes to Harry Reid and Barack Obama, their little 'land deals' don't seem to be a problem. Then the usual suspects on this site sit and beat their scrawny little chests about how it's not surprising that the GOP has warts, as they somehow can't see the advanced stages of leprosy afflicting their chosen guys and gals.

        If you're a pedophile you can hide amongst the clergy and the public gives you much undo respect. If you're a thief you can hide amongst the republicans who claim to be the most moral.

        Of course someone, in this case BoBo would mention the ONE or TWO Democrats. It is a moronic and feeble effort to defend the dozens of Republicans..It may work in the first grade, but we're smarter than that.. Check the score BoBo.

        It's approx. 21-4.

          Renzi is an Arizona co-chair of McCain's presidential campaign.

          so what did happen with that case against "Cold Cash" Jefferson, oh never mind, I forgot we can't talk about that, he (and many others in the past that some choose to forget) he is a Democrat. And then there is the buddy of Obama's that's on trial now. That is if being a buddy of someone is illegal.

          McCain at one time was a decent man,he has gone insane since being a$$raped by Bush in the 2000 campaign. I think he has Stockholm Syndrome.

          Exactly my thoughts! And for McCain to pretend to be surprised by the indictments? Puh-leeze!! The man is his AZ campaign manager, which means he knows him quite well and he also knew about the charges lodged against him. Maybe all republicans aren't corrupt, but it certainly seems that way to me! McCain hangs with entirely too many who are coming up dirty, and he has narrowly escaped prosecution himself for corruption. I can't even believe he's being touted as an "honest" politician! Maybe he's considered honest by republican standards??

            Unfortunately some republicans are as bad as some of the democrats.

              I was thinking the exact same thing... except replace the word "democrats" with "mafia".

              KLARRIS, 22 on the CREW list and only 4 are Dems! The only senators being 4 Repug Senators on the list.

              Its simple math Klarris that you must have also failed! Oh, I remember now, its the new, new math out in California where someone is correct for ingenuity, not the right answer!
