Resignation Pro

Why do Democrats think they are above the law?

"Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers pleaded guilty this morning to conspiring to commit bribery and is free on personal bond." "No resignation letter has been submitted by Conyers to Detroit City Council as of this morning, according to the council clerk’s office, Council President Ken Cockrel Jr.’s office, and council’s legal office. " http://www.freep.com/article/20090626/NEWS01/90626024/1001/NEWS/Conyers+pleads+guilty+to+conspiracy So let me understand this, the wife of powerful Democratic congressman U.S. Rep. John Conyers, pleads guilty but wants to keep her job. Classic Democrat for you, just like Gov Blabbovich in Chicago on his bribes, and the liberals whine about Gov. Mark Sanford and his affair.

1. Classic Democrat double standards.
2. It's classic government in the US anymore. Can you name me ONE... JUST ONE... honest politician?
3. Trying to copy "I am not a Crook" Nixon and " I...I....I just can't remember" Iran weapons supplier Ronald Reagan
4. Well, lets see. Blago got canned and arrested, and nobody complained. How is that a double standard?
5. Let me remind you of Mr. Spiro T. Agnew, to name just one. During his fifth year as Vice President, in the late summer of 1973, Agnew was under investigation by the United States Attorney’s office in Baltimore, Maryland, on charges of extortion, tax fraud, bribery, and conspiracy. In October, he was formally charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000, while holding office as Baltimore County Executive, Governor of Maryland, and Vice President of the United States. On October 10, 1973, Agnew was allowed to plead no contest to a single charge that he had failed to report $29,500 of income received in 1967, with the condition that he resign the office of Vice President.
6. Because we are. Next.
7. We are??? Sweet, hot damn. I'm heading out to have sushi and not pay.
8. So because of one person, all Democrats are lumped together? I guess using your reasoning, all Republicans like to troll airport bathrooms looking for gay sex. Have it your way.
9. Clean house both sides and vote in Honest 1s.
10. And Republicans don't. Here's a tidbit. Conservative or Liberal, Republican or Democrat, Right or Left.....they're all crooks, chislers, scoundrels, and scalywags.
11. They want to micromanage everyone else, but no rules apply to them. Their hypocrisy is disgusting. Michigan is right behind Chicago in corruption.
12. No one should be above the law I say hang them all I don't care what party they are wrong is wrong
13. Democrats can get away with law breaking or unethical behaviour because they have a complicit media that won't barrage the newswire with the story and destroy them the way they do for Republican politicians.
14. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, this was in response to the One honest politician requests. And these are the best kind of politicians their all dead and can't lie!
15. REALLY now. Yeah, we have people who think that, but I think your entire group thinks they're above the law. Let's screw people over and then pay them off when they've caught on to what we're doing. Let's steal the tax payers money so we can trick out our offices, buy new cars and boats and houses and leave them with nothing. Let's interfere with America's privacy by tapping phone lines to make sure no one is talking to a terrorist, and let's lie about Iraq having WMD's and start a war with them when it's not necessary.
16. She is required to step down once her conviction is final, which is after sentencing.
17. The honest answer to this would be, the majority of politicians of all political parties and Governments think they above the laws of the lands. Sadly this has been the mindset of those in power for a long time, they think this because they can get away with it in most cases.
18. Maybe because an idol of the party was able to twist an answer under oath and get away with it, so they all think it is o.k.
19. If Mark Sanford wasn't married, then nobody would have cared. However, when you are the majority party, you can pretty much get away with killing a hooker and throwing her body in a dumpster somewhere. If the Democrats can make the laws, they can certainly break the laws.
20. You would never have this from Gov. Sanford.
21. Nobody does corruption like Detroit why do you think its such a garbage pit? They all learned from the master, Coleman A Young.
22. Because the voters that support them are ignorant of facts ! I wonder if all the liberal supporters are aware of this , and if they do , are they in lock step and support it ?????????????????????????? Senators Confirm Transnationalist Harold Koh To Key State Dept. Post June 25, 2009 – The Senate voted 62-35 on Thursday to confirm Harold Koh to become a key advisor to the State Department on international laws and treaties. Harold Koh believes judges should use foreign law and the views of internationalists to interpret our Constitution and to determine our policies. He believes that America needs international permission to defend itself. “Every American should be offended by Koh’s reference to the U.S. as part of an “axis of disobedience” to international law in its policies toward Iran, North Korea, and Saddam Hussein,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. Ed Whelan with National Review has thoroughly investigated Harold Koh’s anti-Constitution views and his willingness to subject our nation to international law. Whelan says of Koh: Koh is a leading advocate of transnationalism. Further, on the spectrum of transnationalists, ranging from those who are more modest and Americanist in their objectives and sympathies to those who are more extreme and internationalist (or Europeanist), Koh is definitely in the latter category. He is also very smart, savvy, determined, and dogmatic. Whelan has also said this about Koh: Koh is a radical transnationalist. He wants to supplant American law with foreign law. He wants the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution to allow foreign law to apply. He wants to erode our rights. He also wants to create new liberal rights in the constitution that don’t exist. He wants to use self-executing treaties to limit American rights. Koh believes that even if we reject the terms of a treaty, that the treaty can be enforced on us anyway. He rejects the idea that Americans can promote our own interests. He’s fine with allowing foreign countries to prosecute American officials. As the State Department’s top lawyer, he would have the ability to implement these views. He would be a major player in intragency disputes.

23. Why do republicans, and other elites think that they are above the laws?
24. How much do you want to bet this B**** never goes to jail. She should have been charged with MUCH more but with her "connections"in Washington she is getting off with a lesser charge.This woman should already be in jail, she is a threat to society. Detroit is a cesspool of greed and corruption at the hands of the Democratic Party.
25. The greater question is why do politicians think they are above the law. Toss out both. The mentality of "keeping score" about the other side's indiscretions makes it seem like "since one side did this... we get a free pass for this." Lets just agree to call wrong out for what it is. In a country like China, this woman would be facing the firing squad for accepting corporate bribes. We should all agree that politically, its time for both her and her husband to lose their jobs.
26. Good grief man, everybody wants to keep their jobs! That has nothing to do with thinking they are "above the law."
27. Why do the Demigods think they are above the law? For the very same reason the Republifools do. They answer only to the "secret" societies, the corporate image and the oil barons. Every one of them, no matter the political affiliation, are as dishonest and corrupt as the day is long. Past and recent history has proven this statement to be true on all too many occasions. Open your eyes people, it stands out like a red shirt in a room full of green pants.
28. I think there may be a few politicians who are do not lie and are not crooks on both sides of the isle. But, they are few. Both parties are at fault and as long as they can keep the citizens upset for one party or the other, they divide us and we let them get away with it. It is time to stand up for our values, not our party. A nation divided can not win.
29. If convicted she will go to jail, Kwame and Conyers both liberal democrats, crooks to the core. But let's hang that Dirty Republican that cheated on his wife, after all when you cheat on your wife and you're in politics it really affects you constituents. No I don't condone adultery but I also don't condone graft and cheats . Take sex out if the equation on both sides and then see what you have left, and I do mean left.
