I thought it would be interesting to do a thread pointing out the history of the nations liberal representatives.

Lets start with Maxine Waters:
Maxine Moore Waters is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Waters is currently in her 15th term in the House, having served since 1991. She previously represented the state's 29th district and 35th district. She is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in Congress; she chaired the Congressional Black Caucus from 1997 to 1999.

Did you know:

1) She owns a 4.5 million dollar home-

2) A few years ago, Waters was charged by the House ethics committee for allegedly securing bailout funds for a bank in which her husband owned stock.

3) She received three counts of violating House rules in addition to the federal ethics code. These charges were linked to her moves to establish a meeting between OneUnited bank representatives and Treasury officials in 2008. The committee stated that Waters’ moves to benefit OneUnited bank would serve as personally beneficial to her own interests due to her husband’s ownership of stock. The Congresswoman and her attorney filed a motion to have the charges dismissed, but unsurprisingly, the ethics panel denied it.

And she is now The Chair of the House Financial Services Committee.

Next we have Elijah Cummings:

Elijah Eugene Cummings is an American politician and the U.S. Representative for Maryland's 7th congressional district, currently serving in his 13th term in the House, having served since 1996. The district includes just over half of Baltimore City, most of the majority-black precincts of Baltimore County, as well as most of Howard County. He previously served in the Maryland House of Delegates. He is a member of the Democratic Party and current chair of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

2) DOJ, Democrat Elijah Cummings spin together for the IRS
DOJ Working With Elijah Cummings To Protect The IRS
An aide to the attorney general accidentally calls the office of the House Oversight Committee chairman, asking for help in spinning the defense of the agency whose head just said they obey the law when they can.
We have commented many times of the all-too-cozy relationship between the IRS and Democratic members of the House and Senate, with members writing to the agency demanding that specific conservative groups and political action committees they find particularly irritating be subject to the “special scrutiny” that the Tea Party and other conservative and religious groups were subjected to in the ongoing scandal.
Of particular interest to us has been Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., ranking member on Rep. Darrell Issa’s House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, who has made every effort to keep the committee from finding out the true extent of IRS corruption and abuse of power in its targeting of conservatives…

Nancy Pelosi:

Nancy Patricia Pelosi is an American politician serving as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives since January 2019. First elected to Congress in 1987, she is the only woman to have served as Speaker and is the highest-ranking elected woman in United States history.

Both sides have their fair share of politicians involved with shady dealings and corruption. It has always been part of the landscape, and always will be.

---

I like this. I would like to see one of the more progressive posters on this board do something similar with Republicans. It would be great to let each "side" make their case against the other. I bet we'd all be a little more annoyed with the system in Washington if politicians were scrutinized heavily.

Both sides have their fair share of politicians involved with shady dealings and corruption. It has always been part of the landscape, and always will be.

But the fallacy is that it is only the GOP that does these things. The Democrats and Liberals are always anti-capitalism, and for the "little guy" or the "poor people".

What's being pointed out here is that they are all the same when it comes to morality and ethics (slim to none).

That's why they are politicians. They aren't in it for us, they are in it for them (and their ego). They want to sell books, get paid for speeches, maybe collect a paycheck for life....

All of them.
Anyone think AOC isn't just trying to better her life? Since she, ya know, couldn't even afford to live in D.C.?

That's why my argument has always been one of "I don't really care if they screw porn stars and cheat on their taxes, good for them.... what are their policies that will effect me and that I care about?
In that vein, most of the Dems have policies and ideas I can't get behind. Like Socialism and post birth "abortions".
Or they have no ideas at all.

I bet we'd be less annoyed if they were all given term limits.

It’s not a fallacy for any ‘woke’ person. But yes, it is a false narrative promulgated by their courtesans in the MSM. 
I believe good will come out of the deep polarization we see today. As I posted in another thread, the antiseptic effects of sunlight on the left brought about by the last election has forever reframed the narrative of politics and news media. It will get worse before it gets better, but future voters will be more skeptical of what they’re being told by anyone who claims magnanimity.

Way to miss the point, genius.
The point is Mexican politicians are famously corrupt. Term limits didn't help.

And the sad part is that there are millions and millions of people who still believe with all their heart that (1.) only the GOP does unethical things and (2.) Hillary Clinton did nothing wrong.

Linda Sanchez:

Linda Teresa Sánchez is an American politician and former labor lawyer who currently serves as the U.S. Representative for California's 38th congressional district. She is a member of the Democratic Party and was first elected to Congress in 2002.

[font=Graphik Web]The husband of Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) was indicted by federal authorities on Thursday on charges related to the theft of public funds. 
 
The U.S. attorney’s office in Connecticut announced that a grand jury returned two indictments against five people for misusing taxpayer funds in connection with the Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Corporation (CMEEC), an electric utilities co-op. One of those charged is James Sullivan, Sanchez’s husband.
 
Hours earlier, Sanchez, the vice chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, had withdrawn her bid to replace outgoing Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) as chairman of the caucus next year. She cited “an unexpected family matter.” [/font]
