Nope, I jumped the gun there....and misread Bo's post....... :no:

Oh, good...I so wasn't looking forward to that conversation and the ensuing discussion over what a meanie I am.   :biggrin:

By your own words then the Senator who got caught with cash in his freezer should lose his seat.  Wouldn't that be correct?  IIR he wasn't even brought up on charges.  I mean, after all, it was illegally obtained money.

There seems to be some disagreement about the source of that money and for what it was intended but if it is found that it was illegally obtained and he is convicted then yes, he should absolutely lose his seat (sort of a moot point in that the publicity surrounding this was enough to cause him to lose his reelection bid already) and he should go to jail.  And no, you do not recall correctly; he was indicted by a federal grand jury on 16 corruption charges in June of 2007.

I really don't care what the party affiliation is, if a politician is caught selling his/her vote, he/she should be strung up for it.

Rep. William Jefferson was indeed indicted. The trial had been scheduled for sometime in January of this year as I recall.

Now I see that it is scheduled for May 26.

That's the difference between you and I; if I'm not sure about something, I look it up before I comment.

And keep looking it up until you find someone that agrees with you or you can spin to seem to agree with you. I can find data or a poll to back up any subject I want. It doesn't make it correct just what I think.

You are correct and I obviously wasn't yet fully awake when I typed that; thank you!

It's not that...check your correction ;D  If you're going to correct someone, then you may want to be sure that you don't have typos. :razz:
