Just heard on the radio that the Feds hauled away Illinois' governor King Rodney. Didn't say what for. It won't fix all the problems in this state but its a good start.

He ran his mouth to the bankers they pulled the trigger on him. Just to show who is in power.

Blagojevich was caught on a federal wiretap talking about making money off the appointment of a replacement senator for Obama. What an idiot, he knew the feds were investigating him.

Anybody notice that Obama and OJ will both be living in government housing now?

This really ought to get interesting. It has been "street talk" for months that Blago was "goin' down" - really before the selling of a senatorial seat was an issue. There are many other things in the background. Blagojevich is somewhat of an impetuous little snot - antagonizing other Dems and playing games with the state's money to get his personal agenda through. He has alienated "The Machine" with his demands, manipulations, and antics. There are a lot of Dems probably dancing a jig in Chicago over this right now.

Rezko will be brought up again as he had ties with Blago & BO. "The Machine" is tight with BO and helped him to victory. Blago better get used to what the underside of a bus and a stainless steel toilet looks like.

Obama has already distanced himself from this guy. He'll let the bus roll over him. Nothing more than a black Al Capone with a college degree. This guy was used, couldn't keep his mouth shut, and will be a lesson to others. He wanted a cabinet seat,'Bama said no, Jesse Jacksons son wanted money, this guy wanted money to ''arrange'' a position. Typical Chicago politics. Everbody's guilty. What I'ld like to know is, if the FBI hadn't stepped in when they did, and arrest him, how far up the political ladder this would have gotten?? Kinda makes ya wonder if somebody told the FBI to step in when they did. gypsyman

There is no real suprise. All politicians are corrupt

It might have been interesting if the feds had let this play out just a little longer.

Cease and desist using Bama as a short hand for Obama. It is an insult to Alabama my home state generally referred to as Bama. If it doesn't stop folks are gonna start losing posts.

Call the low life what you will be do not use my home state's nickname for the scumbag.

DID ANYONE NOTICE THE GOVERNOR WAS A DEMOCRAT

was he the one that tried to force Bank of America to make bad loans to a failing unionized company
don't these Democrats know by now what happens when you tell banks to make bad loans

i would like to see Bank of America just pull out of his state.....whats that 2% of their business?

SDS-GEN · « **Reply #15 on:** December 09, 2008, 02:14:28 PM »

Yeah 45-70, that's him. And yes he's a liberal Democrat. However he isn't much worse than the liberal republican who was in office before him. Who is, by the way, one year into his six year sentence.

And yet the sheeple of Chikago still vote these crooks into office.

i think the Republicans need to clense them selves of the RINOS

now we have a president from that part of the country

No that was not intended for you, it was for the Stupid Illinois' Governor Blagojevich. My post just happened to follow your.

I would sincerely like to apologize to the Great state of Alabama for any slur
that i unintendedly directed toward it, never even made the connection.
Alabama is the home state of my ancestors (during the great civil unrest
of the 1860s.)

I find it hard to believe any politican would say anything on a phone after Richard M. Nixon and his deal with the tapes and phone ! We must really be sending winners to office these days !

Yeah, but look on the bright side. With his boyish looks and perfect hair, he WILL be very popular in prison (he'll have done to him what he's been doing to us).

look at dc they reelected a convicted cocaine addict to office 2 TIMES there is not a single politician i would not hang from a light post if it were made legal some i do like better than others but all need to go by way of a 4 foot drop

cybin · « **Reply #28 on:** December 11, 2008, 05:25:05 PM »

Actually the mess we are in with the bail outs and the jerk of an Illinois governor really goes a long way in my opinion to showing why we need term limits for the politicions. Not that term limits would have done anything to prevent the Illinois governor from doing what he did, but these jerks don't need to have the idea that politics and being in office can be a career.
