Democrats in Bell California arrested!

This is the biggest story of the day and what you don’t hear is “Democrats.” Every one of those arrested are D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-S….Why is the State run media ignoring it?

Bell officials arrested as prosecutors are set to file criminal charges [Updated]

At least eight city of Bell officials were arrested Tuesday morning, a source said, as L.A. County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley prepared to announce criminal charges in the municipal salary scandal.

[Updated at 10 a.m.: Former Bell City Manager Robert Rizzo, whose high salary sparked the outrage that led to the investigations of the city, was among those arrested in the sweep. No details have been released, but a source not authorized to speak publicly about the case said that Rizzo; former Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia; Mayor Oscar Hernandez; Councilmembers Luis Artiga, Teresa Jacobo and George Mirabal; and former Councilmembers George Cole and Victor Bello were among those arrested.

[Updated at 11:22 p.m.: Cooley filed charges against eight Bell officials Tuesday, alleging that they misappropriated $5.5 million in public funds. Rizzo has been charged with 53 counts of misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest.

Among those arrested were former city administrator Robert Rizzo, former assistant city manager Angela Spaccia, Mayor Oscar Hernandez, councilmembers George Mirabal, Teresa Jacobo, Luis Artiga and former councilmembers George Cole and Victor Bello.

“This is corruption on steroids,” Cooley said.]

I wonder, if these folks were “Republicans” how many times during the story would they spell it out? When a Republican gets caught J-Walking, or even a possibility of misdeed somewhere in his/her life the first thing the media does is make sure REPUBLICAN shows up first in the article. However, I guess if you are a Democrat you get a pass. Even when it’s as corrupt as these Bell morons.

I guess what this type of media bias should tell people is: Democrats are the most unethical and corrupt party. So when they get caught it’s really not a shock. When Republicans do something stupid and get caught it’s big news because they are not supposed to be corrupt and unethical. Which brings up this question:

Why the hell do people vote for Democrats? Why not vote Republican and keep watch for the failures, instead of voting Democrat and knowing what you will eventually get?

The Bell issue is actually small potato’s compared to the national stage.
