Democrat Congressman Indicted

The fact he was reelected is amazing to me. If found guilty, throw the guy in jail and throw away the key. This is a violation of the public trust. He is certainly no better than the Republicans that got in trouble last year.

 

That is outrageous. Well, all I can say is, they are going to have to find replacements for all those positions. Maybe he should serve his prison term in a freezer and stare at his money all day.

 

Actually, your list here is incorrect. He was only on the House Small Business Committee, and he stepped down from that today.

If the man is guilty, then he needs to go, but until then let's not hang him out to dry. Espeically by stating facts that aren't so.

It may have come from his website, but it was not true. He was off the Ways and Means for a while now.

You could have simply stated you got the facts from his site and you were sorry you/they were wrong.

It is correct that Pelosi removed him from the commitee, even before November, but certainly carpro cannot be faulted for taking info off Jefferson's website.

 

I beg to differ. I am not saying he posted this on purpose as bad information, but when the information was revealed as bad, he should be person enough to accept his mistake through their website.

Their website had bad information on it.
He posted bad information.

Both are wrong. Mistakes happen. Carpro seems to think I have it out for him in some way with the 'horns' comment, I just wanted people to know the truth. He isn't on those committees now, and he stepped down from the last one his was own.

Honesty is the best polcy don't you agree?

Jamie

 

I agree. :wavey:

 

I really dont care what specific offices he held. He violated the public trust, and just like the scum of the earth republicans that preceeded him, I hope they throw away the key. I will guarantee you one thing, had I done that, I wouldnt be free until the next hearing. I would already be under the jail.

 

Yea, I see the same old spin on things. Some things will never change huh?

People can decide for themselves what truth is in your postings. Both of you were wrong, their website and you. Their are more responible because they know better. You however posted, and when found out that it was wrong, instead of saying opps, I made a mistake and here's why.. you just continue spin things away from you. The politicans we talk about daily here have served you well in teaching you how to deflect blame.

Also, try as you might to spin it my way, there is no need for me to apologize. I only posted that your information was incorrect, which it was no matter where you got it from. Nice try though...


Jamie

 

I agree, if he is found guilty then he needs to have the book thrown at him. Don't misunderstand me in this thread. I am not FOR him, but I would like the truth to be stated instead of lies.

He is just as corrupt as all the other politicans, and things will never change until we demand it.

The best way to get rid of the infrastructure of the democratic and republican party is a Holy Spirit revival that captures the heart of every American. How long do you think the likes of these organizations would last if that were possible?

 

And you never disappoint me when it comes to your spin on things. There are members of your "right" on this board that accept when they make a mistake, and then there's you.

At least now people can see where you stand and what you stand on.

The main point was, no matter where the information came from it was wrong. You posted it as fact and it's not. You perpetuated the false information, and then when confronted with the truth, duck and dodged instead of admiting the wrong doing like some others have.

I forgot for a moment.. You're never wrong on these forums.

BTW, I emailed their website and let them know about it just as I did you. I will let you know their response if and when I get one.

Jamie

 

Well it was exactly as I said. You can think otherwise, but it doesn't matter.

True, however they are still wrong and misleading "facts". They are not accurate no matter who posts it. A lie is a lie is a lie.

I never claimed you posted it for spite, in fact I have stated otherwise, but when you found out they were wrong, you should have done more than duck and dodge. Rove has taught you well over the last 6 years huh?

I am ending this as I know you will never agree with me on this. But at least the truth about this is out there for people to see for themselves.

Jamie

 

So very true! I have said this before, if we witnessed as hard as we fight our "positions" of Right vers Left, we would win more souls to Christ AND change the world for the better at the same time.

I wonder, has there ever been a Revival for a country before?
