Former Va. Gov. Bob McDonnell, wife indicted

The Governor McDonnell case has been brewing for a while, and now he's been indicted. He was pretty kooky and socially conservative, but he wanted to get elected, so he didn't act like a Freeper. Thus, Freepers alternate between abandoning him and crying political prosecution:

JRandomFreeper is ready to passive-aggressively defend the Governor from any new Freepers:
His first mistake was raising taxes on some toll road deal I think. Then he was foolish enough to get in bed with a phony vitamin huckster and take a bunch of tacky gifts and shopping sprees. Bad judgement, and he and wife are looking at 20 years max. Cop a plea, Governor.

Why should he? This may well be another DeLay style prosecution.

Welcome to Free Republic.
Welcome indeed...

DannyTN is more angry at how it was reported:

  • Hate that a Republican is indicted.
  • Hate that the media reports the party only when it's a Republican who has done wrong.
  • Like that corruption is being prosecuted, because it makes both parties a little more hesitant.
ZULU edits reality to squeeze out more outrage and victimhood:
Has that black racist in the AG’s office EVER prosecuted a Democrat for ANYTHING???
Captain Jack Aubrey knows the unbiased thing to do is wait until after the election:
There is a special election today in Virginia in which control of the state senate is up for grabs. The Feds couldn’t wait one more day? Of course not. Guess who wins control of the senate.
ETL just remembers all bad things are by liberals, with this one exception:
we know that the overwhelming percentage of corruption, treason (or “treason-lite”), and infidelity, scandal cases involve democrats.
Oliviaforever know all prosecutions by Democrats are presumptively political.
We cannot ignore the fact that the governor is being persecuted by a Democratic administration. In almost all cases that fact means that is all political.
Dr.Deth needs no evidence either.
Intended strictly as a political prosecution, just like NJ and Wisconsin. Initiated straight out of the corrupted DOJ.

The only purpose of this is to drag it across the headlines for the next year in order to deliver Virginia as a newly minted blue-state in 2014 and eventually 2016.
kdot's conspiracies are slowly turning away from Obama...
Am I the only one who sees the Clintons behind this? McDonnell was a P or VP contender in 2016 (as was Christie). To me, it appears they are clearing the field. Sadly, McD gave just enough smoke to burn an overzealous fire. They installed McAuliffe as governor, then got rid of McD. It feels so familiar (Clinton politics), but it could just be me...

  1. DannyTN is on the right track at least ... instead of getting bogged down in partisan finger pointing, everyone should be focused on the preponderance of government corruption from all sides.

  2. Really? Who is for government corruption?

    Your point and the Freepers point are simply twaddle.

    1. Dear me, reading comprehension is not one of your skills, is it? Please show me where I said being against corruption was twaddle? Here is a hint, it aint' there.

      Thanks for playing. Now, back to bed with you, it's a school day tomorrow. Pay especial attention in English class.

    2. Dear me, reading comprehension is not one of your skills at all judging from your original reply.

      Now, back to your dingy room in the cheapo fifth rate nursing home, stupid poster. Its obviously too late for an old dog like you learn any new tricks (or reading skills).

  3. DannyTN is making a non-insane, and only 1/3 fraudulent observation. Credit where credit is due.

  4. Being against government corruption is sort of like being against rape and murder, no special congratulations are due one who expresses an opinion against it. Who is for government corruption?

    1. Anonymous 12:25, that certainly is damning with faint praise, though.
