Wonder where Organized Crime went? They morphed into the RNC, Think about it....can this GOP support any candidate that has integrity? They can only run people for national office that are corruptible or, if that fails, blackmail-able. The last thing the RNC can afford are candidates willing to be independent and honest. The quid pro quo is simple...use your office to enrich yourself, just give us your vote without questioning how it effects your constituents. "I can never understand why Republicans are in favor of Republican corruption. They defend it, dismiss it, ignore it, even applaud it Dave C" Neither can I. If Democrats were doing what Republicans have been doing, I'd be a registered Republican today. It's not about policy differences...it's about the crime and corruption. I can understand corruption when you benefit directly from the crimes...but for ding-dongs to post here in defense of these criminals makes me realize how dumb you have to be to identify with this "Party". Start calling it the Republican Syndicate...they don't deserve the cover of a political Party.

Neither can I. If Democrats were doing what Republicans have been doing, I’d be a registered Republican today. It’s not about policy differences…it’s about the crime and corruption. I can understand corruption when you benefit directly from the crimes…but for ding-dongs to post here in defense of these criminals makes me realize how dumb you have to be to identify with this “Party”.

Start calling it the Republican Syndicate…they don’t deserve the cover of a political Party.

Republican, Bush-appointed United States Attorney Carol Lam is a highly effective prosecutor and manager. She did an excellent job serving the public, and I am glad that the Bar Association in that heavily Republican district chose professionalism and honor over craven party loyalty. I agree, Emerald.

It was a patriotic statement-reinforcing values we profess: high ethics, professionalism, courage, dignity under fire, all in a career burnished by fighting against government corruption and corporate misdeeds. These are American values, embodied by a woman with talent, class, and the grace to accept the award on behalf of the people who with whom she worked. Well done. This was beyond politics.

She is probably willing to get her old job back, but she should pass. She has very bright future ahead for her. Repug criminals should be very afraid. Elected office, or a great appointment in a Democratic administration would be good. She's a straight shooter, and a role model for young women everywhere. Carol Lam deserves the accolades.
