Governor of Illinois "Rob" Blegojevich arrested!

Tim Elston · Postby **Tim Elston** » December 9th, 2008, 6:53 am

This traitor of the public trust has finally been taken down. Rob Blagojevich is the rankest of the rank. I moved from Illinois partly because I was sick and tired of Illinoisans not giving a rip about the corruption of their leaders. When they re-elected Blagojevich and the know-nothing son of a corrupt Chicago politician, I realized that I was paying a corruption tax that Illinoisans supported. My days in that state were numbered.

That's partly why I want a reduction of federalism. When the federal government is providing everything there is no option to move freely to something solvent and better managed. When states have more responsibility and provide more services, residency becomes more of a competitive marketplace.

And, yes, you better believe it: If Obama or anyone close to him is found involved in corruption, I will want heads to roll. Corruption knows no partisan boundaries. And if anyone has not been willing to call Cheney and friends on their corruption, then his or her gloating against Democratic corruption rings hollow.

Democratic and Republican parties are one and the same. Let's see...just off the top of my head I can think of Jim Traficant, Ted Stevens, Trent Lott, Larry Craig, Gray Davis. Bottom line, corruption can hit at all levels, all political parties.

Blagojevich is scum, Cheney is scum, Democrats are scum, Republicans are scum. Mess Washington, it's the people's country.

Especially if he had nothing to do with it.

I had to search several news sites before I found that the governor in question was actually a Democrat.

Are you serious? Do you know who authored 333?

DENNIS KUCINICH. This is a man who believes he was abducted by aliens. Even Nancy Pelosi didn't support impeachment of Cheney. Nor did Obama, or any of the other Dem. presidential candidates.

In fairness, Kucinich said he saw a UFO, not that he was abducted. Nothing wrong with seeing weird things in the sky.

I suppose we are due for some mental gymnastics from you to justify the impending nationalization of the Big Three??

Doesn't matter who wrote 333, it matters that it actually had merit. Pelosi and them didn't support it because it would have been a waste of time and money to pursue something like that, this close to his term's end anyway.

Oh please. If David Duke made criminal charges against Obama, they would immediately be suspect. The extremity of his views automatically puts a taint on any charges he would make.

Kucinich is just an extreme left wing NUT JOB. Anything he charges a conservative with has to be taken with a grain of salt. If there was anything approaching impeachable in 333, you can bet Pelosi, et al, would have been all over it.
