Apparently not today. Lots of Neocons publishing support for the Alabama Republican State Senator. Try again neocon. Clinton beats Bush (either one). Hillary and Obama beat Giuliani and McCain.

Two of his aides have already plead guilty to felony charges and are set for 8 year prison terms. No doubt that they will, rightfully, nail his hide to the wall.

bigsk8fan,

Sorry....Delay (even Foley) not only withdraw but RESIGN. What does "cold cash" do? Stays in, pleads not guilty. Please. This is like trying to plead not guilty to having an expired license.

Ain't gonna happen. The last time Dems had the moral high ground was during Roosevelt's administration.

What's $90,000 between friends, come on, Jefferson was just working on a sting to see if the FBI was really doing their jobs. I guess he is happy now that he finally convinced the FBI to bribe him. Now he has the evidence that those agents were trying to buy political favors.

Perhaps it's "entrapment"??

Yeah I know that's all foolish.

What more probably cause do you need than $90000 in a freezer. The dude is dirty and just like Randy Duke Cunningham out of California, we're probably just hearing the beginning. He needs to quit acting larger than life and step down before he brings the democrats down into the same dirty pit the republicans have been sitting in.

Hey neocons, I don't see too many Dems offering premature support for this guy. Yet you neocon Republicans keep defending the Alabama State Senator who is a Republican for punching a Democrat Senator. What's up with that? I think the Dems hold the higher moral ground here!

Wishful thinking....better get a conviction, first. Actually, you better have charges first. Actually, you need to have an investigation, first.

Actually they need to have probable cause. But they can always invent that.
