Voters hold ‘Cold Cash’ accountable — sort of

Voters finally sent Rep. William “Cold Cash” Jefferson packing. The Louisiana Democrat – who won re-election in 2006 despite facing federal charges related to soliciting bribes, money laundering and other offenses – narrowly lost his re-election race Saturday. Unfortunately, the upset victory by Republican newcomer Anh Cao was less about voters holding Jefferson accountable and more about low voter turnout.

    So, in other words: NO democrats did NOT hold a crook accountable. They put him BACK UP for re-election.

    Democrats throw sh-t at the wall, and see what sticks.

    This Jefferson definitely moved on up to the sky and got him self a piece of the pie. Duh Dems keep voting him in, so they don’t care about such felonious deeds.

    If anything should show the attitude of liberals it is the lack of posts under this thread.

    They will spend hours, weeks, months talking about Palin and the “possibility” she committed wrong doing in Alaska, or they will jump all over a thread talking negative about a republican,

    But when it comes to one of their own?

    Not so much.
