All of the players in this corruption situation are democrats."
To call those individuals corrupt is a pretty strong accusation. What proof do you have that those individuals are corrupt? It sounds more like hatred for the Democrats than anything else. You even accuse the President-elect of being involved! I see you made no mention of Governor Ryan. In spite of being a convicted felon, I guess he gets a pass in your book because he is a Republican. The list of convicted politicians across this nation is comprised of Democrats and Republicans.
Whether it be ignorance or hatred, a little bit of responsibility in your postings would be appreciated.
I am not giving Ryan a pass, he was corrupt. There are honest politicians and dirty politicians in each party. It's just it is very top heavy with dirty dems simply because of the fact that republicans are an endangered species in Illinois.
Are you suggesting that Link isn't corrupt? Are you serious? What about that petition scandal? You believe him when you say that he didn't know what was going on? What about Daley? Are you seriously suggesting that he isn't corrupt? Madigan? You don't think his hands are dirty? Jones? I think he is as stupid as he is corrupt. Putting his kid on the ballot after he decides to retire and bequeath his seat to his son? That isn't dirty?
And Obama. Are any of you really thinking that he is mr 'clean hands' in this whole Blago saga? Did you see him in his press conference on Thursday? Him saying that he never talked to the govenor about the senate seat? Also he said nobody on his staff did either and he will be checking and will let us know in the days ahead if any of his staff did talk to the govenor. 1st off on Nov 5th Blago said in a new release that he is going to give considerable thought in filling Obama's seat. He said he will talk to the president elect to get his input and as well he will consider himself who to choose. So that conversation never happened? Where was Rahm Emanual during the press conference on Thursday? He is always at those things. Are people suggesting that Rahm didn't talk to Blago about the seat? That's crazy. That's a big thing and you better believe both Obama and Emanual talked to Blago. It is crazy that they didn't. For Barack to say he never talked to Blago about the empty seat is just a lie. Blago is ths 3rd rail of politics now and nobody want's to even be close to him. If Barack was honest and he is such a reformer then he should tell the truth and say "yes, I talked to him about it" He doesn't have to say there was any hanky panky talk going on he could have just said he talked to Blago about whom he might choose. It looks like he tried to shake down that Valerie Jarrett for the seat but she turned him down and accepted a position in the White House. Don't you think she would have said something to Obama if she thought Blago wasn't being square with her? Something smells about this who thing, I think Rahm is involved and I think Obama was involved as well. Maybe it was suggested to Obama that the seat was for sale but he wanted nothing to do with it. I could believe that. The problem was though was that Obama didn't blow the whistle and that in itself is a crime.
My hatred for Dems? Sure most of them disgust me. I don't hate them though, hate is a strong word. It also isn't good to hate anyone as hatred eats up the insides of the hater and does them more harm then those they hate. No, I don't hate anyone really.
