Rant this time. This isn't about democrats it's about the differance in how information is presented. The topic was just for drama. I found these two articles on the net one right after the other. In the opening paragragphs the 1st. one mentions direct ties to Pres. Obama, the 2nd. one says ties. One mentions democrats the other doesn't. I don't see any reason to mention Pres. Obama or the referance to ties whether direct or indirect. I don't see any reason to mention the party affiliation. IMO neither has anything to do with the crimes these people committed. ************************************************** 13 Democrats Charged With Embezzling $16 Million In ... www.thegatewaypundit.com/.../13-democrats-charged-with-embezzling-...

The media because so many people are swayed by emotion. Some people are desperate to believe anything. |

So you don't believe the published story? I found it straightforward and was not swayed by either story...it is a question of right and wrong and if the evidence presented in court back up what the prosecutor is saying, I hope they are all found guilty...it is certainly nothing that tugs at my heart strings Edited by Bitsy, May 17 2014, 11:09 AM.
