FL Lt. Gov. (R) resigns; gambling scandal.

[Katzndogz]

I imagine this will not help Rick Scott's reelection prospects any.

Why? The people of Florida elected her. Scott didn't have anything to do with it.

 

[Mad Scientist]

I say that, if the guy was not a Republican, you wouldn't care.

I also say that I don't care.

OldMan post story, so he care.

I tell you, if this was Soviet Union or China, we shoot her today.

But this America so different.

If she part of Insider Circle she will re-appear later "rehabilitated" and will be elected to different office.

If American Political System can use her again, she will return.

did I miss your thread on Jesse Jackson jr.?

 

[whitehall]

Don't you see the double standard? Democrats seldom have to resign because they make no claim to moral values. Barney Frank had a male prostitution ring operating in his freaking D.C. apartment by his boyfriend and democrats never blinked.

He did not respond with a defiant, "..depends on what your definition of gambling is is" and properly resigned for his corrupt/conflict of interest actions. What do you say about this?

And conservatives will go further into denial and deflection.

There have been rumblings for a while that things were pretty rotten in Florida politics. If this is the start, I'd bet good money this ensnares both Democrats and Republicans. Once you get institutional corruption at the State and Local levels, it stops being a "just Democrats" or "just Republican" thing. It completely corrupts the system on both sides of the aisle.

Good get someone with some integrity.

Now if you only you had any integrity dad....you'd want to get rid of President Monkey Boy.

Because clearly calling the President Monkey boy is a sign of integrity.

I've known her on other boards. She's a racist.

Nothing can help Valdemort Scott's reelection prospects.

I don't care that Larry Craig was soliciting gay sex (other than the fact he preached against gays lololol)

I don't care that Eliot Spitzer was banging prostitutes and escorts

I don't care that Clinton got a nice blowjob

I don't care about this shit because it doesn't impact the lives of American citizens.

Except for the fact that there are very few Democrats in Florida's Legislature. Republicans have held the House, Senate and Governorship - overwhelmingly - for well over 10 years.

Wingnuts say this shit all the time, yet when these things happen to Democrats they are awfully quiet. They don't bombard their Republican Congresscritter's office with phone calls or emails or letters demanding that they stop focusing on Democratic politician's private lives and get back to doing right for the country.

True. It'll probably impact the state GOP more than the state DNC due to just how the State is comprised. I typed that half asleep. What I meant to say is that corruption tends to be institutional at the State level and not a symptom of party. But if the power in the State is held overwhelmingly by the GOP, then that's where most of the money and corruption will flow.

Wouldn't we have had to start denial and deflection before we go further?

How is calling for an end to corruption regardless of what party denial or deflection?

And I hope for the sake of Florida that they get every person involved.

I have little tolerance for racists in either party. Such a stupid viewpoint.

Im pretty sure youre talking to a libertarian who truly doesnt care what happens in either party.

Oh, so you're a Libertarian now?

So, it's not government's place to pass laws against prostitution, gambling, and drugs?
