Cunningham Pleads Guilty in House Sale Probe

[Caesar_MG]

"
SAN DIEGO — Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigned from Congress Monday after pleading guilty in a San Diego federal court to accepting bribes and violating tax laws in the sale of his home two years ago to a defense contractor.
Cunningham entered pleas in U.S. District Court to charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud and tax evasion for underreporting his income in 2004. He answered, "Yes, Your Honor" when asked by U.S. District Judge Larry Burns if he had accepted cash in exchange for his performance of official duties."

I say slam him. Yes, he was a pro-military Congressman. Yes, he was lauded by many law-enforcement organizations for being tough on crime.


But he prostituted himself and his position, and he should be slammed and pay the price for abusing the trust of his constituents, and the American public.

He was tasked to serve our best interests, and instead, acted on his own greed.


And before people start thinking I am being Partisan, Rep. Cunningham is/was a Republican.

I agree with you. It doesn't matter what party he belongs to, or how close his opinions are to mine (ours)... if he violated against the law in such a horrible way, I say he should be punished.

Many people think that Conservatives don't like to see "their" people being punished. I seriously ask myself where this thought comes from, because I, like Caesar, think that everybody violating against the law like this guy should be punished.
