Hay Sheep.. This is gonna be ... "I TOLD YOU SO...." This goes way beyond Obamas appointment.. It shows how ALL DEMOCRATS WORK. Or how Bill and Hillary made more MONEY after BILL Left office peddling influence.. How Chicago and Illinois politics work... or How $90,000 in that Black congressman's freezer doesn't mean a thing. OR how OBAMA peddles influence to poor sheep with worthless promises. It would not surprise me to find out OBAMA is directly indited in this mess..it goes back to 200...way long enough to ensnare OBAMA. Yep Democrats ...go after Stevens with joy...all the time you deceive younger, under 40 voters, with sheep dung. Change we can believe in? I TOLD YOU SO.... NO.  |

I just don't understand how he thought he was going to get away with this. Or who he was talking to, for that matter.

Sure. It's not as if former Republican Presidents didn't go out and charge $100,000 speaking fees for public appearances.

It's kind of odd -- people buy Senate seats by spending dozens of millions of dollars on campaigns, and that's just the American way. But spend a few hundred thousand buying a governor and we all agree that's corrupt.

How many Illinois govs. have served time in jail? 1 3 5 ? 4 of the past 5 have been indicted and 3 of the last 10 have served? Soon to be 4 when good ole Rod joins them. Something that I read that SICKENS me: In exchange for a $8 million state fund to Chicago Children's Hospital, the governor instructed a Chicago Children's Hospital executive to make a $50,000 to the governor's campaign. When the donation wasn't made, the governor met with the Deputy Governor on how to get the $8 milliion back. |

Actually this goes beyond party lines...and Race certainly doesn't limit..
It DOES SHOW or indite how most large city politics is done.
Fox news showed last night that Illinois is not alone...Maryland..and other states have the same issues.
My MAIN BEEF is that large CITY votes NOW determine the political outcome in ail elections and if people are easily swayed by corrupt people we will never have an effective government.
The Idea of a small well run government appeals more on so many values...because we know who we actually elect in small counties and townships.
You cannot hide corruption ,sex scandals,bribery on a small scale.
Those who run a vetted by their peers on a more personable knowledge base.
It should be said that Obama didn't carry the country as most Democrats dont. They run on city issues that city voters appeal to.
It just hurts when both sides are corrupt and use the same appeals to get elected then screw the voter.
VOTING WITHOUT WOOL over ones eyes is all I have ever asked.
And the press was way behind as usual.
Meaning you were led like sheep.
