As I recall; wasn't the GOP the political party who once boasted of being the party of "family values" and the party of "rule of law"? The GOP does have one good purpose; they never cease to entertain.

[maxfax]

GOP and "rule of law" in the same sentence? That's a joke. The Bush White House was the administration of Executive Orders.

[ObamAtomic]

Another one biting the dust,a few more years no one of them will be around.

[mybostonjack]

Corruption and the GOP go hand in hand.

Rick who? . . . ha, ha, ha!

[Carolyn LeBeauf]

It seems as tho the republicans' house of fraud, adulters, torturers and all other criminals cards are falling.

Another Arizona D-Bag. Where's my Al Franken?

[cactusgal]

Before it's over, they may have to put him in Witness Protection Program & move him to Alaska where he can run for governor.

Renzi belongs in jail and the Justice Dept. will have a hard time proving it. In the end they will make a deal. Our Legal system has become as convoluted as every thing else.

I want to know just where he got ALL THAT money for his unbelievable first campaign!!!! WHERE did that money come from? From embezzelment? That was a WELL funded campaign. I want to know how he got installed as our representative when the house he supposedly owned went to foreclosure. I want to know HOW Arizona suddenly had a new District 1 and HOW this person, who was on the news in front of the Pentagon on 9/11, came out of nowhere to overrun our community with nonstop teevee ads, a robocall from hell assault, and campaign people that make the townbrawlers look like kindergarteners?

How was this guy rammed down the throats of Arizona district 1 voters? It was obscene!!

RICO needs to be applied here for sure!

Arizona seems to be in a contest with South Carolina and Texas for having questionable elected officials.

Arizona has McCain (Keating 5), Ensign, Arpaio, Brewer, and now Renzi

[CR46]

Which one was the one that assaulted the senior lady or is that another one not on your list??

[Darwinita]

Ensign is Nevada, not Arizona.

[freethinkergirl]

Must be the "dry" heat in those states.

[hipichick7]

His insurance company is called Patriot Insurance. I see we have another american patriot.

[Budokan]

That right there qualifies him for his own talk show on Focks Gnus.

[BeauRadley]

Another Republicant criminal--is there no end to these guys?
