Where the fok did I imply that? :roll:
Just take a look at your posts. Dude commits suicide and your first post is sounds like a republican. Then corrected on the liklihood, oh so he is a wannabe republican. Then corrected again, and basically the same thing.

Hey we agree on two things, corruption is not party specific and (2) you are always right. So I am wondering why you made it party specific.

I realize you may not agree, but I would imagine most readers would.

Agreed! There is corruption in BOTH houses!

But on this particular issue, there is significant difference in the size and scale of that corruption.

Eddie, the posts were a (weak, albeit) attempt at dark humor:

1- by implying his hanging was due to sexual aphyxiation, not because he was distraught about the damage done by corrupt Freddie Mac business practices;
2- an allusion to recent phenomena of high profile cases of Republican sexual shenanigans (Larry Craig, Fla rep-congressional page, dude in La with the hookers, etc)

.......I have no idea what this guy's party affiliation is...nor do I care....I believe a review of my political posting history will reveal a consistent clamor about the corruption of politics by BOTH parties....my apologies if this offended the sensibilities of Republican apologists on this board...

I agree.....and am happy the Republicans can hang their hat on the fact they weren't quite as corrupt as the dems on this issue....

Well if you think I am a republican apologist think again. The republicans deserve all the credit in the world for the foreign policy and, in many ways, domestic disasters we face.

I tend to forget that some comments are for humor only. So, from that stand point, I apologize. I suppose I don't find suicide very funny. I have lost a couple of friends over the years to whatever anguished caused them to take their lives. I hope to never experience it again.

Now let's talk about woves. We should kill the all the bastards :oops:

Well, everyone has experienced something. We can't tip toe around every issue or we would have nothing to say. Thanks, for the concern.

Sounds good to me, can we add people from New Jersey that sold their house at the top of the market and decided to move south. :D

Wait...I'll save you the time...

Because it turns out that Senator Dodd's wife has past connections to AIG

Correct and accurate...

No, Obama and Dodd were the most corrupt.

Explain how Dodd, hardly in an "at risk" race, received almost as much as ALL Republican candidates combined.

Then explain how Dodd, hardly "poor" received special mortgage treatment by Freddie when he financed a home purchase.

Then, explain why Dodd was involved in inserting language in the bailout bill to facilitate executive bonus packages.

Then, explain why Congress has not preferred him for ethics violations.

Then, explain why the MSM has given this issue a "pass" and is not hounding Congress about the absence of an investigation.



Wait...I'll save you the time...

Because the Democrat controlled Congress is the single most corrupt, incompetent Congress seated in the past 80 years, and the MSM are simpering, soulless, amoral liars who have abandoned any journalistic ethics to facilitate the corruption.

Correct and accurate...

Yes, you are correct, Appy. I overstated my original case. Sorry about that!
