November 7th with a Decemeber 9th run off. Yes we do things differently here!!

[Renew Deal]

18. Somebody needs to run

Is anyone in the works?

[LA lady]

27. I heard 6

I have no actual knowledge but heard on the local news that 6 dems had sgned up to challenge. The seat is safe for us but the scandal sure stinks.

[Sapphire Blue]

4. More than half of this rubber-stamping chickenshit Congress should resign.

[Mandate My Ass]

5. when they have you on tape accepting the bribe

spending more time with the family is the only way to go. Not owning up is very repuke-ish of him. What a disgrace. :thumbsdown:

[celestia671]

6. Yet another political embarassment for La

It's hard to feel any kind of pride living in a state that has produced so many crooked politicians and Britney Spears!:blush:

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Corruption in Louisiana politics goes back a Long way

Pun intended.

[Atlas Mugged]

24. Good one!

[mikelgb]

7. Yes.

however I am very unsure of this story

seems way too good for the powers that be...

unless he has irrefutable evidence of an FBI inside job I'd say he should resign

[LA lady]

14. Long overdue

I felt he should have resigned after what he pulled during Katrina. And that was on tape, I've seen it!!

[Warpy]

9. While I believe in innocense until guilt is proven

I still think that tape is damning enough on its own.

Besides, he needs to resign to shame all the GOP thieves who have not.

[maddezmom]

10. Hell yes

[Xipe Totec]

11. When it comes to cleaning house,

Real Democrats are bipartisan.

:dem:

[cornermouse]

12. If he's guilty, yes.

[originalpckelly]

15. I heard they found 90,000 of the bribe in his freezer...

He needs to resign. Soon.

[Ksec]

16. Were the party of accountabilty and it shows here

Too bad the repukes dont care about their leaders being corrupt.

[Toucano]

17. Yes. Mostly because of his CAFTA "yes" vote, however.

Taking a bribe just adds fuel.

[Ian David]

19. Rep. William Jefferson is being persecuted because he's Christian.

If you hate Jefferson, then you hate Jesus and America.

And it only gives aid and comfort to the terrorists.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

21. He's a Democrat

He's not allowed to be a Christian.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

20. Since the money was found a year ago

If there was anything to it, the rethug investigators would have done something about it then.

Not drag it out in order to distract from rethug crimes.

[BlooInBloo]

22. Of course. Assuming things are more or less as they appear...

Given how much republicans lie, I'd make a solid investigatory effort to see if this is all a republican setup. If nothing came up, then yah - kick the jackass out.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

23. Oh God Yeah. This Isn't Slight Corruption. This Was On A Huge Scale. He

sickens me now. I can't see any possible way he can clear his name and claim to be innocent. There is so much evidence against him it isn't even funny. I don't even consider him to be a democrat anymore.

[Bjorn Against]

25. This poll warms my heart....

It is great to see that DUers are able to stand up to one of their own when that person does wrong. When 95% of DUers are able to admit there is a problem with in their own ranks without shame it shows a great deal of integrity. If this question was posted about Tom DeLay in Freeperland a few monthes back, I am willing to bet their results would have been the exact opposite, with 95% suggesting DeLay should stay. It is good to know that we do not blindly follow based on party loyalty.

26. Well said!!
