Black voters more likely to support criminals

We can speculate as to the reasons, but then we'd be called raaaaaaacists!

Weiner, Spitzer both buoyed by black voters

It is a truism in politics that African-American voters are more likely to forgive public figures for bad behavior: President Bill Clinton, for instance, remained popular with black voters throughout his impeachment after his affair with a White House intern.

Black voters are inclined to support underdogs and to discount media characterizations of candidates, says Al Sharpton, one of the city's most prominent African-American leaders. His National Action Network has hosted all the mayoral candidates.

"We are less likely to be influenced by media attacks because most of our leaders and people who have stood for us have been subjected to media attacks,'' Sharpton says. The more critical the coverage of Weiner – the New York Post, for instance, has had a string of double-entendre front-page headlines --– the greater the possibility of a backlash of support, he says. "You almost can have the opposite response in the black community, because those we have respected the most have been attacked the most.''

They gets what theys votes for, and no snitchin' about it, either. No thought required (for the vast majority of the minority, that is).

Nope but why use facts?

Republican sex scandals outnumber Democrat sex scandals two to one | Nerve.com


Republican sex scandals outnumber Democrat sex scandals two to one

...in the last decade, anyway. No surprise here: according to an NBC tally, the party of family values and general sanctimoniousness is pounding the Democrats in the sex-scandal Olympics. Of course, it's possible that Democrats are just better at getting away with this kind of thing. But it seems reasonable that making a big public show of outrage over other people's behavior could correlate with having some secret indiscretions of your own. After all, Newt Gingrich (one of the disgraced bunch on NBC's list) was notoriously cheating on his second wife even as he was loudly denouncing Bill Clinton for the Lewinsky affair. Conclusion: what a bunch of jackasses.



Another GOP Politician, Caught in Sex Scandal, Resigns :: EDGE on the Net


Nebraska Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy resigned abruptly Saturday in a scandal involving thousands of calls to four women on his state-issued cellphone, including one woman who said she had a romantic relationship with the politician.

Gov. Dave Heineman announced Sheehy’s resignation in a hastily called news conference Saturday morning. Sheehy, a Republican, had been considered the front-runner in the 2014 gubernatorial race and had been endorsed by Heineman.

"As public officials, we are rightly held to a higher standard," Heineman said. "I had trusted him, and that trust was broken."

Sheehy resigned after questions were raised about the cellphone calls with four women, none of whom were his wife, who filed for divorce last year. The calls, made over the last four years, were first reported by the Omaha World-Herald, which had made a public records request for Sheehy’s phone records.
