FBI, IRS Raid Home of Sen. Ted Stevens

Posted by kdawson on from the longest-serving-republican dept.

A while back we discussed the corruption investigation aimed at Alaska Sen. Ted "series of tubes" Stevens. A number of readers sent us word that the home of Sen. Stevens was raided earlier today by agents of the FBI and the IRS. The focus of the raid was a remodeling project at Stevens's home and the involvement of VECO, an oil company.

    ... so vote for Ron Paul, who will help reduce the government's power. :)

    Yeah. There's no proof the FBI actually raided dude's house, either.

    Oh look. You managed to get the mods to mod the original post down. Aren't you special.

    Who gives a shit? You go back live under your rock.

    Thanks for the Republican attempt at humor. That's perceptive of me, too, right?

    How does a (yet another) Republican getting caught show "both sides" are corrupt? Unless of course you're a Republican, in which case everything bad about Republicans is true of everyone, and nothing good is true of anyone else.

    Well, as the GP doesn't seem to enumerate the scandals, let me:

    1. He was involved in the scandal of being accused of having claimed to have invented the internet - which no self-respecting Republican would ever do.
    2. He was involved in the scandal of being associated with a president who had a blow job - which is something no Republican would ever do.
    3. He was involved in the scandal of talking of the scam that is global warming, which does take so little courage due to being a majority position that 90% of the USians don't believe in it, just to spite those arrogant scientists - which is something no Republican would ever do.
    4. He was involved in the scandal of being consistently hypocritical by e.g. flying with a private jet to his talks about protecting the environment, and doesn't ever stand up to his ethical faults - which is something no Republican would ever do.
    5. He was involved in the scandal of making phone calls from his official residence - which is something no Republican would ever do.
    6. He was involved in the scandal of taking drugs - which is something no Republican would ever do.


    And I just got started. Do you want more?

    So a single current corrupt Democrat, actually from several years ago, who hasn't been shown to be part of any conspiracy with any other Democrats, is how this Republican getting caught in a Republican conspiracy along with the endless ranks of other current Republican conspiracies shows "Democrats are just as bad"?

    I know Republicans (and the independents who love them) skipped math class to score coke, but you do know that 0.1 < 1 + 5 + 2 + 1, right? Just because there are two sides to the comparison doesn't make them equal.
