Congressman William Jefferson D-New Orleans, with his wife Andrea Jefferson speaks to supporters in New Orleans Saturday, Dec. 9, 2006. Jefferson defeated democratic State Representative Karen Carter for re-election.

I don’t generally like to make partisan comparisons because I hold my views and ideals far above being a Republican, but there is a noticable difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to upholding those principles. Case and point, William Jefferson. If a Republican Congressman had $90,000 stashed in a freezer in his house which he embezzled through bribery would that man be reelected to office, let alone even be allowed to run again? We took care of our Mark Foleys and Duke Cunninghams, but what of the Democrats? William Jefferson is just another to add to the list below Alcee Hastings, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Robert Byrd, Barney Franks, Gerry Studds, and so on and so on.

I shouldn’t be suprised though. This is the same city full of brainwashed welfare leeching trough feeders that reelected Ray Nagin to be their mayor.
