Acting U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez said Thursday the indictment also charges 12 other people associated with Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila's party.

Rodriguez told reporters that the 13 are accused of running a conspiracy to illegally raise money to pay off Acevedo's campaign debts in 2000.

 from now until the DOJ is purged on 1/21/09.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I don't think McCain will change things THAT much.

So here we have the DUmmies hoping for the ouster of DOJ officials because they're doing the job to well for the DUmmies' tastes.  Everyone knows that only Republicans are guilty of corruption.  Democrats can never be guilty of anything.

OH YEAH!
