A Democratic state senator conspired with a New York City councilman to buy himself onto the Republican ballot for mayor this year with tens of thousands of dollars in bribes to two Republican leaders

Time for the Democrats and Republicans to duke it out now because the Democrats tried to bribe Republicans.

Doesn't look like any Libertarians were involved. I'll sit back at this QED that both Democrats and Republicans are symbiotically linked. Like lichens on shits.

I'll raise you that state senator with this one from my state: State Rep. Joe Mitchell, D-Mobile

Mitchell responded from his public, ALHouse.gov email account at 11:59 p.m., telling Maxwell: "Your folk never used all this sheit (sic) to protect my folk from your slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-assed, inbreed (sic), imported criminal-minded kin folk."

FYI, he's a black state representative from the Mobile district who hasn't voted in any sessions since last year and routinely tells staff to lock his ballot to prevent others from voting on his behalf. Basically, the voters of Mobile voted him in to do nothing.

Anyway, this was the story the quote came from: http://blog.al.com/wire/2013/03/post_44.html

Of course, it has nothing to do with your post... just that there are morons of all kinds at all levels of government among the democrats and republicans.

It's weird that nobody else has responded. Why aren't there accusations of how bad the Republicans are for taking the money? Or the Democrats for giving the money (credit to the Dems for bringing "bribing the opposition" to the discussion.)

I for one, am happy to see that Democrats and Republicans have finally learned how to work together.

This just shows that Democrats finally learned how to speak the language Republicans understand.

I'd say it's because the truth hurts. Everyone knows that the whole lot (R&D) are corrupt. The partisans don't like to acknowledge this because deep inside they know they are on the wrong side of history.

For those of us that are not partisan it only confirms what we already know and there's really no news here.

When I first read this story, it reminded me a bit of "The Candidate"(1972).
For those not familiar with it:

The incumbent Republican's re-election committee approached a liberal Democrat attorney (Robert Redford), to run against them. The idea was that they wanted a Democrat to put up a credible showing against them, but they would be pulling the strings behind the scene to ensure he didn't actually win.

It is a first-rate scathing satire of the American election process.

You changed your thread title too quick, that's confusing SC readers.

You beat Kallend to it. His thread title, "Republicans Accept Bribes AGAIN - from just anybody, because that part doesn't matter"

I'd also accept:

Democrats are all for bribes, so it's a Dog Bites Man Story
Reps pretend to be all moral - so they are hypocrits here



either way, I'm fine with it

It's not a score; it's a verb.
