The site in question was no different from InTrade. Would some politician being found to have family members who invested in InTrade even be a joke "scandal"?
This is like saying I should get upset or vote against some local lawmaker if they were found to be a marijuana dealer.
Of course you, BRTD, will never get it. But voters generally do not like when the persons who make the laws choose to violate them for their own personal financial gain.
Really, though, that's not even the part that makes Tierney look the worst. The part that makes him look terrible is when he threw his whole family under the bus. Perhaps, to use your own analogy, you would rather vote against some local, marijuana-dealing lawmaker who let his wife go to jail for drug trafficking because he claimed having absolutely no knowledge of any of her drug deals.
The idea that Tierney knew nothing about the money his wife made off the gambling operation is ridiculous. No one believes it. Tierney is a bad person, and his district is not Democratic enough for him to get away with it anymore.
Why are you wasting your keyboard trying to reason with BRTD, which is almost as useful, as trying to reason with a concrete wall?
