Paul, maybe they aren't giving the money back because the democrat party (like the republican party) is literally crawling with sociopaths.

HFFT,

I think it's highly unfair to characterize Republicans as not caring whether Amish people in Ohio were defrauded. There are plenty that care about fraud.

Giving the money back to the victims is ideal, but for some it is more easier said than done. Daniels took $195,000 from Durham. He has $15,000 in his campaign committee fromt he last report. He isn't running for a third term or probably any election ever again. So it's not that easy to go out and raise the money when the contributors are going to know you're not a candidate.

Then on the other hand these people who are wealthy, like Daniels, could write a check out of their own bank account for the difference.

I don't understand why the Democratic Natonal Committee won't give back a measly $3,000 plus. That's pocket change for them.

Cato, I hear you. I like the law applied EQUALLY to all. So if everyone else has to abide by the law with gambling, so should the pea shakes.

I also think that the Governor should replace the funds he received from Durham and place it in an escrow like Senator Delph did.

Even if that means that the Governor takes the money from his own assets to do it.

HFFT:

I have no doubts that the Dems have some shady dealings, e.g., Peterson's soft landing at Lilly[s].

For the record, I think it's nobody's business to interfere with anyone's gambling activity. Some people don't like pea shake houses. I don't like public schools. Funding for only one of those establishments, however, is voluntary.

Cato, do you really think that these Republicans could care less about some Amish folks in Ohio defrauded so that their elections are bankrolled?

I think not.

Now, to expose the same levels of criminal activity going on within the Democrat party. You know it is there and likely even worse.

For instance, nothing has ever been done about the Pea Shakes. Where does that money filter?

And of course all the Democrats bankrolled by the ISTA money should be looked into.

Who cares if you spent it? How is that a defense? We all presumed you spent it when we told you to pay it back.

When we told you to pay it back, we didn't ask whether it would inconvenience **you**. It's a debt. Pay it back. Hopefully, it will sting like Hell, and you'll ask better questions, next time.

These Republicans' offices are ill-gotten gains. Until they return the stolen funds to investors, they are enjoying their offices on the backs of swindled investors.

Do the right thing, Mitch.
