Fox News reports that the Democrats are going to need to do some serious damage control. Since the beginning of the year there have been quite a few democrats getting into trouble. Some allegations of serious offenses. The latest in this string of Democrats in trouble is California Senator Leland Yee who was caught trying to set an undercover agent up with an arms dealer. Senator Yee marks the third serious issue since the beginning of the year. First was Senator Cannon who is entangled in an FBI investigation for Federal Corruption. He supposedly received over $48,000, multiple plane tickets and hotel rooms from an undercover agent as an endorsement. On Friday of last week  Rhode Island Senator Gordon Fox's house and office were raided by the FBI, IRS and local police. The FBI is not yet saying what charges Senator Fox is facing. The next day Senator Fox resigned. With the Democrats having these issues right now they do not seem like a party the people would want to trust. The Democrats might be able to brush these issues off as just a couple bad eggs. Although it is a really bad time right now since the midterms for re election going on. Right now is not the time to be getting in trouble and having your party in the limelight. With this happening this could hurt the Democrats at election time for control of the Senate, the House and the Presidency. It does not help the Democrats since 59% of the people in the US do not agree with the Presidents decisions either. As a whole political party they are not looking like a very trustworthy group. I think it is time for them as a party to clean house of some bad eggs and find some new faces to run for these positions. That might help them come re election time.
