This is a representation of the ignorance that many voters have. Jessie Jackson Jr. got voted in because he is African American, "LOTS" of other African Americans voted him in SIMPLY because he's African American. He won his election, WHILE HE WAS IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION?!?! How does that happen? VOTE ON POLICIES AND CHARACTER NOT RACE! Many voters had no clue of his policies or agenda, RIDICULOUS, and this is the result of ill placed, misinformed votes-SAD! Ignorance votes ignorant!

I totally agree. Character, integrity, experience, and ability should be the voting factor, not race! Don't look at me when America collapse because I voted for the other guy, NOT Obama and I am Africa American!

Right, no more said about him. We already know who his is. And we already know about the D2 Jackson voters.
But here's a question for the Demo candidates running for office. Did you endorse MIA Jackson? Vote for him? If yes, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

So what are you saying? White people voting for white politicians running against white politicians is comparable to what Miguel is saying?

If only his more experienced father had taught him how to properly hide his personal plundering of campaign funds for Rolexes and Bentleys we wouldn't be in this mess.

If there is a plea bargain here, doesn't that mean there are more serious shenanigans that JJJr/wife are not going to be held accountable for?
