There's no evidence of charges against any Democrats taking bribes. Hell, there's no reason to bribe a Democrat since none of them have any power.

Well actually.....

Democrats in Tennessee have been scarred by numerous scandals coming from the "Tennessee Waltz" investigation.   They took bribes in exchange for proposing and supporting legislation.  All but one of the state legislators and bag men who have been indicted are Democrats, and the one Republican is an actual RINO who is "Naifeh's boy".  (Jimmy Naifeh is our Democrat speaker of the house.)  Philly Bredesen, our Democrat governor who cuts people's vital health care services for sport, is now drowning in scandal and controversy.  So perhaps people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

What about Rep. Bill Jefferson (D-LA) who is currently under investigation by the FBI for a Nigerian scam?

Lest we forget about Frank Ballance (D-NC) who resigned last year and pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge.

I dunno, maybe LAST YEAR is too long ago for JFraud.
