There just haven't been many Democrats to report on.<br /><br />As far as I know, this list is an accurate accounting of all Federal and governor level convictions for political corruptions committed after Januar 1, 2000. I haven't been updating the list regularly so I may have missed a few recent cases. I'll add them if someone points them out.defendusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843736518811199037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18100967.post-41699749483689738782010-06-17T22:39:27.311-07:002010-06-17T22:39:27.311-07:00Thank you for your list.

I un...Thank you for your list. It is very useful.<br /><br />I understand that your list contains convicted and indicted Republicans. Is there a comparable list somewhere that lists convicted and indicted Democrats? I want to get a list from the other side of the aisle as well.<br /><br />Thank you for any direction you may offer.MinutemanCDC_SChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498081201816950420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18100967.post-67229499081429239502009-04-02T08:35:00.000-07:002009-04-02T08:35:00.000-07:00Here is a sampling of the comments for this post. ...Here is a sampling of the comments for this post. It is interesting to note that while people on the rightwing keep complaining that only Republicans are on the list, they are still unable to help me keep this list accurate by pointing out any Democrats. Some insisting that local politicians in New Jersey and at other state level positions are "federal" positions.<BR/><BR/>It would be completely impossible to keep this list current if I were to try to include corruption at every level. Likewise, I have not included crimes unrelated to misuse of power. I am trying to keep an accurate and impartial list. As such, as I explained in the introduction to the list, I have limited the list to federal positions and state governorships. <BR/><BR/>It is not my fault if the members of one party appear more corrupt than members of the other party. I am just listing facts and the facts are the facts.<BR/><BR/>I also am not listing innuendo and unsupported allegations. The original list included only convicted and indicted politicians.defendusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843736518811199037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18100967.post-73222977409329451312009-03-16T15:49:00.000-07:002009-03-16T15:49:00.000-07:00You will probably want to add this item: "Ex-Pa. s...You will probably want to add this item: "Ex-Pa. senator convicted of 137 corruption counts" AP 3-16-09 <BR/><BR/>PHILADELPHIA – Vincent Fumo, once one of the most powerful figures in Pennsylvania politics, was convicted Monday of more than 130 counts of corruption for schemes that defrauded the state Senate and others of more than $3.5 million and helped pay for his lavish lifestyle. <BR/>Full article at: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090316/ap_on_re_us/senator_investigation_trial_4 <BR/>I'll be checking to see if you add this Democrat to your list.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445918060290951738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18100967.post-54455263677426064162008-11-21T10:04:00.000-08:002008-11-21T10:04:00.000-08:00I respect your ideals, but they present as a singu...I respect your ideals, but they present as a singularly nonobjective assessment.

William Jefferson (D-La) might be a good one to start with. I would also like to see Jim Black, Democratic Speaker of the NC Legislator, on your list. And, of course, if you are to include southern governors such as Mr. Barbour, be sure to include former Alabama Governor Donald Siegelman's racketeering conspiracy charge.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it's time to update the record on Senator Stevens - he is quite the scoundrel!<BR/><BR/>I wonder if there is anything crooked about the politicians who received substantial donations from Fannie Mae?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18100967.post-15051664504113496362008-06-12T19:02:00.000-07:002008-06-12T19:02:00.000-07:00Goosfraba...Goosfraba...Goosfraba !

Please, don't insult all of us people of average to above average intelligence by saying that you didn't have many Democrats on your list cause no one can name you ones you missed. Get real man! Anyone who has been breathing and mildly paying attention to current events and politics is aware that there are as many corrupt Dems as GOP politicians.

Your list is pretty much exclusively GOP.<BR/><BR/>I'm linking this page to my site. My viewers know that I have absolutely no respect for either political party. Many links on my page(I'm simply too disgusted to write my own ideas on the subject at this time) are party motivated. Personally, I find it ridiculous that folks will blind one eye - or both eyes - to the ills of their own professed political party, but can't seem to get enough of pointing out "the other guys'" foibles. If I were a social scientist, I would probably be fascinated to the point of writing a book on the subject. In any case, beware the messenger, re: these type of links. Me - I don't care who exposes corruption... as long as it IS corruption and not some fantasy made up out of hearsay and hatred. As far as I am concerned, keep up the good work - someone else will (and has) pointed out the bad guys (and gals) on your side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18100967.post-1175888987356647882007-04-06T12:49:00.000-07:002007-04-06T12:49:00.000-07:00Great site...

The first post says that only biased and blind people are unable to find corrupt Democrats, but is unable to point out any examples of any missed. <BR/><BR/>The second post assumes that since I don't want porn or spam posted I must be a member of the ACLU (and support defending the Constitution and the values of the United States). I don't quite follow the logic, or why the poster thinks that being patriotic is such an insult, but who knows, maybe the poster has a point. Maybe he/she is correct that everyone who is patriotic must therefore be a liberal. I'll leave that analysis to the philosophers.defendusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843736518811199037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18100967.post-1166308847526044192006-12-16T14:40:00.000-08:002006-12-16T14:40:00.000-08:00BTW, after posting my comment, it said it will not...BTW, after posting my comment, it said it will not be viewable until approved.

Corruption is pretty well evenly distributed amoung politicians. This is the problem with the country, everyone points fingers instead of solving problems. You are not in grade school anymore, GROW UP and find solutions that mean something. Use all of this energy you have trying to dig up dirt and find solutions instead.
