Seems to me this is about lack of ethics regardless of skin color. The article said nothing about the skin color of any of the politicians it referenced.

On the Republican side were two Italians and two blacks. Not a race issue at all. Just typical gotta get mine before he gets his.

Right. One Democrat and four Republicans arrested for conspiracy and the headline only mentions the Democrat....:rolleyes:

I guess coming from an ideology based on the notion that greed is good, taking a bribe is fine, just don't pay one out.;)

The democrat was really DUMB and the REBUPS just greedy.

Mr. Smith wanted to be Mayor but the democratic side was crowded with candidates with better name recognition and finance than he has.

So Mr. Smith schemed to jump ship. However even if he had succeeded in getting into the race as a repub it is exceedingly doubtful whether he could push aside the repub hopefuls of which one is a billionaire. :D

For such a doubtful outcome this dummy open himself to an out of town "developer". :eek:
