Crying in Public, Congressman Cunningham hoping to gain sympathy for his crimes against humanity, admits to taking bribes and resigns from congress. Does anyone believe this display of regret would have occured had he not been caught?

from Washington Post

Prosecutors said Cunningham, an eight-term House member, “demanded, sought and received” illicit payments in the form of cash, home payments, furnishings, cars and vacations from four co-conspirators, including two defense contractors, over the past five years.

Cunningham, a member of the influential House Appropriations defense subcommittee and the intelligence committee, answered “Yes, Your Honor,” when asked by U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns if he had accepted bribes in exchange for his performance of official duties.

U.S. Attorney Carol C. Lam told reporters that Cunningham “did the worst thing an elected official can do — he enriched himself through his position and violated the trust of those that put him there.”

The question I have not seen asked very often is why was he given bribes? What did he do on his end? This is not just a crime against the American people, this is a crime against humanity, most obviously the Iraqi people, because there is no doubt that these bribes secured his vote for the illegal invasion of Iraq. Being on both the House Appropriations committee and House intelligence committee, besides steering lucrative defense contracts, these bribes secured his silence on the obvious corruption in Iraq and his no vote on any sort hearing that might lead to accountability of those responsible.

I hope that the rest of our corrupt congress is running scared because they should be. The American people have finally realized the depth of greed of politicians in this country and this is only the beginning of the revolution in congress. One by one we will expose these greedy immoral bastards….who is next?
