Typical. And people thought that it was better to vote for the Democrat... Well, they have this seat now and it’s another 6 years before we can get rid of their guy.

Why Republicans keep falling for this BS is beyond me.

What really happened here is honor among thieves. Stevens was given a pass as his fellow senators of both parties recomended that he be let off. Stevens had a lifetime ACU rating of 64 and in 2008, it was 50. He was no conservative.

And with Dodd in big time trouble, far better to let the little fish off the hook so you can use the same rationale for Dodd to avoid prosecution.
