Thank you Tedob1 this is just the kind of stuff I was expecting to see. Lets see if we can round up some more facts on this subject, I think we're on a roll here.

This is what I found so far, after using the words "criminals in Congress" for searching.
Some of the strange ones...

REP. BARNEY FRANK (D-MA): Accessory to a male prostitute who ran a whorehouse in their Washington townhouse.

REP. JAMES MORAN (D-VA): Charged with spousal abuse, and assault and battery. A regular instigator of bar fights while mayor of Alexandria, VA, his position made him immune to arrest. Once said he thought about becoming a boxer because "I like to hit people."

REP. MEL REYNOLDS (D-IL): In 1995 was convicted of having sex with a minor and obstructing justice.

jeez guys...for a bunch of computer geeks you'd think you would atleast know to check snopes for urban legends!

its got a big thing on how the statistics are mostly untrue, and the ones that are even semi-accurate are incredibly vague.

[er0k]

one of the teachers read that to us a few weeks ago.... he said it appeared accurate, dunno... funny stuff, yet scary that those are the people deciding if we go to war or not, although the author could be exaggerating the truth very easily, for instance shop-lifting, "stealing a piece of gum at 7 years old from the store" or something to that extent, you can see how it cross-applies to the rest.

iwoudent dopubt any of it, considering the government goes t omany lengths to defend the people included in it. i wouldent doubt that they all get a baggie of coke given to them by the security guards right before any meeting they have.

*sigh*

let me expound a bit on what i said before.

have any of you ever been pulled over only to be asked "have you had anything to drink today?" when infact you hadn't? if you had you would just have put yourself into the catagory of "having been pulled over for drunk driving".

furthermore, the rest is just accusations. watch this:
i hereby acuse all members of congress of being not only serial rapists, but also pedophiles. better slip that one into the next version of this worthless email, because now they have all been officially acused of said crimes!

[aeallison]

8*B@LL, I think you are missing the point here, what I am asking for in this thread are facts, REAL proof that our leaders are criminals...or not. We all know that most hoaxes are based on facts, it might just be that penny candy taken when one was 5 or 6 years old, it might also be that someone here is a cop who arrested one of them for being a pedophile. Bottom line, Monsieur 8*B@LL is if you feel so strongley about protecting the accused then give us some facts, I am sure we would rather see truth....

Viva La USA


<edit>how much would you pay snopes to discredit a written and circulated document that harms your career???</edit>
