Re: The Culture of Corruption.
Former Dem Representative WIlliam "Cold Cash" Jefferson was found guilty on 11 of 16 corruption charges. He faces substantial prison time.
Here's a great 2006 campaign ad by candidate William Jefferson:
"I have never taken a bribe from anyone."
Former Democratic Congressman William Jefferson was found guilty of 11 of 16 corruption charges today by a federal jury.
The jury of eight women and four men returned a guilty verdict following five days of deliberation
In the 16-count indictment, Jefferson was charged with soliciting bribes and other crimes for a series of schemes in which he helped American businesses broker deals in West African in exchange for payments or financial considerations to companies controlled by members of his family, including his brother Mose, his wife, Andrea, their five daughters and a son-in-law.
Jefferson, 62, who represented the New Orleans-based 2nd Congressional District for nine terms, will now face sentencing by Judge T.S. Ellis III, who earlier meted out stiff sentences for lesser figures in the case. According to the U.S. attorney's office, Jefferson faced 235 years in prison if convicted on all counts, and will still face substantial prison time.
While in prison he is going to write a book.

Of course i work. I am a Republican. Gotta support the Barney Frank Lifestyle our taxes go toward. Gotta pay for handouts.
Your buddy wearing a speedo at the beach and trolling gets expensive.
Democrats want free abortions for all ladies. Want to raise taxes on energy, it all adds up. Got a mad man spending like a maniac, we can't retire.
Gubment gets the month off. What I do for a fine living is too much fun to call it work.
Pelosi wants 3 new Gulfstreams. Not cheap. Republicans still have a work ethic.

Don't like the message, attack the messenger, try to marginlize.

When people interview they are told to look conservative.
Leftists with pink hair, nose rings and piercings help remind people that they want welfare and not work.
Tattoos are a great way to remind people they are not conservative.
Conservative dress means wearing clothing and covering the skin.
Rebellion. Martin Luther King was an Anti abortion conservative Republican. No tattoos and dreadlocks. Actually conservatives like work and productivity. Retirement is not in my bible.
