I could also add lists of my own about corrupt dems who seem above the law.

Curt,

I would not hold your breath on our resident (but semi-sane) leftist troll answering you.

I could also add lists of my own about corrupt dems who seem above the law.

I prefer to keep score on the number of convictions and the Republicans are leading in that as well as in years to be served. An important stat !!

What about my Congressman Joe Baca? He is for one, misogynistic and I think that takes some of his campaign money to pay off family members too.

Judicial Watch’s Dubious Top 10 Corrupt Politicians of 2007

I don't like the list because it's a vapid exercise in name-dropping, with no apparent work whatsoever put into identifying the truly corrupt. None of my top three choices (Paul, Thompson, Romney) are on the list.

I hope people are paying attention! Their list from last year was longer (and if you think some names were left off this list, they were probably on the list from last year). My bet is that if you don't like this list, it's because "your guy" is on it. Get wise and go with someone who will actually govern as a conservative, like Mitt or Fred.

It represents an attempt at attention-grabbing, by listing prominent people in the news, and making spurious charges against many of them. The real corrupt pols are not mentioned. JW loses all credibility here.

If find Judicial Watch'e list puzzling. They list Scooter Libby, who while a convicted felon, has no known pattern of corruption. On the other, JW omitts John Murtha who steers tax payer dollars into his bank accounts. JW'w iist certainly interesting, but is it relevant?
