Pelosi has already called for an investigation
Posted by RepForBarack

She also called for bipartisanship in congress...I''''m not holding my breath thank you very much. I dare you to follow this story and see what Pelosi does...I guarantee it will be NOTHING. Where are the investigations into Chris Dodd and Barney Frank as it relates to Freddie and Fannie? This should be all over the news and would be if there really were BIPARTISANSHIP in conagress.

I think it is power that drives these people in Washington and with this comes money and a lot of pretty girls and ***. They need to go democrat or republican.

Are you nutjob liberals starting to open your eyes yet? Doubt it, you''re all drones. Where''s the coverage of this scandal? Why isn''t Pelosi and gang calling for this man to step down? YOU ARE ALL HYPOCRITS or just blind to the truth. Why is it okay with you to only hear one side of the story? Why don''t you demand more from the news and your candidates? Why is it okay to dismiss stories like this but it''s okay to destroy a 17yr old girl who got pregnant? You are responsible for the condition this country is in. President Barack HUSSEIN Obama...God help us. Wake up!!!

Our middle school kid had been looking for a topic to present for a class "How our Democracy Works." He found most of what was online to be "boring."

Then, voila and eureka! This''ll enliven discussion, wom''t it, Ms Johnson?

It''s a shame so many Americans have virtually no moral standards or self respect now. I can''t blame other countries for laughing at us and saying we''re fat, lazy, selfish, greedy people. Maybe we need a big crash for people to learn to be decent and humble again. And the news media has fueled it with ***, drugs, rock and roll only because it made money. Families last a few years and split, jobs are temporary just like the benefits you get and everyone lives above their means. It was a great country and it had nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans - it was about decent, self respecting, hard working people.

Voters should take DEMs to the cleaners in 2008 like they did to GOP in 2006. Now Mahoney the cheater joins the ranks of corrupt Democrats. Here''s the list of corrupt DEMs %u2013 John Edwards %u2013 cheater and trial lawyer - Jim McGreevey - Former NJ GOV, Elliott Spitzer - former NY Gov, Acevado - Puerto Rico Gov, Kwame Kilpatrick - Detroit Mayor, Jefferson - LA congressman, Chris Dodd %u2013 CT Sen %u2013 (favorable loan from Wells Fargo) %u2013 Laura Richardson (CA-D) %u2013 defaulted on at least 3 CA homes and got Wash Mutual to reverse the sale after the fact. Sheila Dixon (D) %u2013 Scandalous Baltimore Mayor and the list goes on and on%u2026 Obama should be proud. Where''s all the media reports claiming a Culture of Corruption in Democratic Party? Hmmm? Seems like we had endless stories in 2006 when it was GOP turn. The media is truly disgraceful.

The network, citing unnamed sources, says the congressman began his affair with Patricia Allen in 2006 while he was campaigning for Congress.

Mahoney, a Democrat, won the race after former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley resigned when it was revealed he sent lurid Internet messages to male Capitol Hill teenage pages.
***********************************

LOL. Looks like the Democrats can''t keep their pants zipped any better than the Republicans can. What kind of arrogance does it take to have an affair while you are running for office????? With a camera on every corner, and instant media, only a brain-dead idiot, or an arrogant fool, would do such a thing. Disgusting.
