Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin: It's great to be a Democrat

It's great to be a Democrat, if
prosecution is a possibility. 

In the last week-or-so, testimony in a federal trail has tied Democrat Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin to a pay-out, cavorting with strippers and a cover-up of the truth. 

It would take a prosecutor to tell us if there is a crime in the implications, but it looks bad.

But does Benjamin have anything to worry about?

Just ask Bill Clinton (I did not have....with that woman.) Ask Hillary (What difference does it make) Clinton in reference to the (I don't recall) Rose Law Firm billing records.

Then we had John (“Baby-Mama”) Edwards. He paid for his and his mistress' child with campaign contributions. But Edwards walked. All Democrats. 

And let's not even get into the IRS, DOJ, and NSA scandals of the Obama Administration.

On the other hand: you have Ken Ard, prosecuted. There's Scooter Libby who, in effect, was sentenced to jail in a non-crime investigation, and because he worked for VP Dick Cheney.

And how can we forget freshly indicted Jimmy Metts.

All Republicans.

Ironically, it was Edwards who campaigned on the divisive “Two Americas” slogan in an attempt, as Democrats do, to polarize the country.

Edwards was correct: We have two Americas.

If you are a Republican, you better not step out of line. But if you are a Democrat, chances are, you have nothing to worry about from the long arm of the law.

And no matter what is said about Steve Benjamin, he can always say: It's Great to be a Democrat!...because that means escaping the prosecutor.
