Maybe there should be a law against allowing ANY Chicagoans to hold office in Washington!?! They ALL seem to be shameless, lying crooks!

Everyone should mail SYMPATHY cards to Arlen Specter, Susan Collins and Olympia Snow for the loss of their collective consciences, decency, standards, principles, ethics, etc.

Must make them really proud to be the ONLY GOP TRAITORS who were bought and PAID OFF to support the stimulus!

Let’s inundate their offices! Show them what miserable people they are!!!!

Lying, cheating, stealing, tax evasion, bribery, … just another day in Chicago politics.

But folks- rest assured, despite being born and raised in it, nurtured and supported by it, paid for, signed sealed and delivered by the same stinking cesspool of Chicago, Mighty Lord President Obama was not tainted in any way by it.

He is, after all, the ONE, right?

Can any good thing ever come out of Chicago?

They are so corrupt it isn’t funny…old saying…the “fish” stinks from the head down”!

The Nation of Islam’s Messiah moved up through the ranks…not because he was qualified…not because he was smart…it was because he was dirty like the rest of them!

Will look you straight in the eye…and lie….lie…lie…and isnt’ what what he has been doing since day one?

===============================

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN”!

After a nice session of, er, say waterboarding, I bet Blago would go berserk outing DEMS all over Ill. and D.C. This isn’t over folks, not by a long shot.

Surprised??? If so why?? Because the press did do their job reporting the corrupt politics that is the NORM in Chicago? This erroneous perception is entirely the results of a biased politically oriented press not doing their job. And if the Dems were going to clean up politics why did The PRESS, ObomaNation and the Dems not call for an INVESTIGATION leaving that request to a Republican. That a Republican is calling for the investigation will create the persona that they will succeeded beyond their wildest expectations all of these left wing despots hawking this as just another Republican WITCH HUNT. Why are there no standards required of the Dems by the Press and/or the Dems??????? All you have to do is look at Rep Barney Fudge, Senator Chris Dodge and Rep Maxine in the Waters over her head to determine the absence of a responsible press and the Dem legislatures absence of principle and/or management abilities.

There is something extremely fishy about this whole thing from the get-go. I mean, why would Demonrats care about any corruption?? It’s a self-evident question and answer; that is, they don’t. I’m thinking out loud here…Obama doesn’t want Burris in there. Burris lies to get in. Now Burris is playing either damage control, or fulfilling a promise to Obama to bring up this bribe offer later. Perhaps to take over from headlines that would hurt Obama – a distraction. Get the MSM totally fixated over Blago again whilst they Bogart some more crap through. Or, could it be, they just screwed up and now we have a chance to get someone else in there. Either way, I am going to fight these tyrants tooth and nail. Please give ‘em a run for their money–and maybe we’ll win!

he will lie and get to keep the seat

[...] asks: Liar or fool? You decide: Burris gets appointed to the Senate by Rod Blagojevich, a self-made cartoon of political ineptness and alleged corruption. The U.S. Senate won’t seat Burris until he testifies under oath that he is unblemished by the [...]
