Hartford Mayor Eddie A. Perez was charged Tuesday with receiving a bribe and falsifying evidence, the latest in a string of Connecticut politicians caught up in recent corruption investigations. The four-term Democrat is admitting to "a lapse in judgment"... [More]
Could we please have a Mayors Against (Your) Guns corruption/lapse in judgment moratorium?And they say there are no stupid questions.

Hah! I thought I beat you by about 4 minutes (http://markofafreeman.blogspot.com/2009/01/another-of-bloomberg-bunch-bites-dust.html), but Blogger uses the time you start typing it, not when it actually posts.
ReplyDeleteThis is more proof that the system is broken and has been taking over by parasites. My personal hunch is very large percent of people in elected office are there not to serve but to serve themselves at a cost to the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I believe that most of the people who work in government are there because they couldn't make it in the real world, the private sector.
The cost of growing this parasitic government for the parasites has cost decent citizens hugely in money and their Constitutional rights. Anohter criminal mayor who is out to disarm the American people to rule them with the Marxist iron fist.
Hopefully DeStefano goes soon...
ReplyDelete*sigh*
I've come to the conclusion that those that seek positions of power should never have them.

Well, Hartford and Bridgeport so far--it's only a matter of time.
The beneficiaries of these mayors' generosity with taxpayer money and leniency toward violent criminals won't care. They'll re-elect them or replace them with someone like them. The Klintonreich continued long after his impeachment, and today he's got international rock star popularity. Still no comment from Serenity Sea Jones, who would have been in her 20s now. She lived in that little community outside Waco.
ReplyDeleteI understand 1930s Germany MUCH better these days.
Yeah, and I saw this last night on PBS.
ReplyDeleteEven Jim Lehar (sp?) couldn't be bothered to name him as a Democrat.
So much for journalistic objectivity. If it had been Republican and sure that would have been the lead (not that I'm a fan of Republicans either).
Richmond Va. anti-gun-rights mayor (former state delegate) Dwight Jones promises that his city police armed personal bodyguard security force will cost half as much as previous anti-gun-rights mayor L. Douglas Wilder's. That's right, only HALF a million dollars a year. The police could not back up that claim, however.
ReplyDeleteBoth mayors are afraid their socialist crusades against guns have made enemies who might come after them with guns, so they insist on being protected with .. guns. This is a medium-size city, yet the mayor protection program dwarfs that of much larger ones. Even some elites are more equal than others.
