here are a few democrat miscreans:
FBI arrests former Rep. T.J. Cox on dozens of fraud charges
John Edwards and the Mistress: A Breakdown of One of America's Most Sensational Scandals
Andrew Cuomo resigned in August 2021 after an Attorney General's Office report that found he sexually harassed multiple women, including current or former state employees. He was also facing criticism over his witholding of data about COVID-19's imoact on nursing homes, and his use of state employees to produce a book he published.
The governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, was arrested on Tuesday on “staggering” corruption charges that alleged he tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by fellow Democrat, President-elect Barack Obama.
Laura Richardson (D - CA) was found guilty on seven counts of violating US House rules by improperly using her staff to campaign for her, destroying the evidence and tampering with witness testimony. The House Ethics Committee ordered Richardson to pay a fine of $10,000 (equivalent to $12,747 in 2022) (2012).
Thomas Porteous (D) Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana was impeached, convicted and removed from office December 8, 2010, on charges of bribery and lying to Congress (2010)
Corrine Brown (D-FL) was convicted on 18 felony counts of wire and tax fraud, conspiracy, lying to federal investigators, and other corruption charges (2017)
Anthony Weiber (D-NY)[164] was convicted of sending sexually explicit photos of himself to a 15-year-old girl and was mandated to register as a sex offender. He also was sentenced to 21 months in prison, a charge that was later reduced to 18 months. He reported to prison in November 2017 and was released in May 2019 (2017).
Took me about 4 minutes to find those.
Those are a few over many years but most of those don’t have anything to do with being in politics for personal power which is what you said the point was.
Nobody thinks that Anthony Weiner was anything less then obsessed with helping working poor and working class and strengthening democracy.
You bring up a guy with personal problems having nothing to do with politics or thirst for power.
The only one there that makes sense in Bologovuch.
he fits into my 1-3%
Edwards May have lied about a campaign finance issue by hushing up an affair ( he was actually acquired because of intent doubts ) but what does any of it have to do with the sincerity behind the mission of his life in improving lives.
You are mixing some corruption or personal problem issues with a broad broad comment that most dem pols are in politics for the experience of power.
Sorry - but I don’t see that at all and i would like some examples from the federal pols - house and senate.
Laura Richardson - you are mixing up corrupt mistakes with lacking dedication to causes and being in politics to help people.
Wanting to win and breaking rules is not the same as caring only about power.
why do you think they break rules and want to win??? To keep whatever power they have. I'm done talking about this. You believe what you belive and I'll believe what I believe.
You are done because you can’t handle what I just wrote and you can’t disassemble the act from the original intention.
if you cannot separate A. Weiner’s personal sex issue from his ferocious desire to improve his city state and country then you don’t understand what you yourself are saying.
but that’s ok.
the 2 I agree with are bogdonovich and cuomo.
I can see a case for saying that they got into politics for power much more then Justice and serving the public.
the others not so much.
If you are going to deny that 99.9999888988999999999% of every human being that ever lived has at least a little bit of self gain no matter what their occupation or station then you don’t understand the way that human beings in a society greater then 2 operates.
Blankets statements that you make have no place in a real world.
