Please explain to me why we know exactly the words used by the Governor to request bribes in an FBI wiretap and the full details of the scandal in 1 day, when we cannot view the original Birth Certificate of BO.

Yes, and we are told to believe that somehow, Barry Hussein Obama, who has swam in this swamp for years, with the same characters including Rezko, has escaped with no stench of corruption on him.

Riiiiiight.

Isn't it interesting that there is so much genitives around Obama?

Just like Clintons, dirty people surrounds them....first the preacher, now the Gov of his state, and he knows NOTHING about it???? He sat in church for 20 some years and listened to this crap, and yet he ‘didn't know about this man’ ????? and he has NOT SPOKEN to the Gov???? huh????? are we mushrooms or what????

Yep, when President Bush and his ways are out of office, we are back to the clinton ways of life, barroom deals, dirty money, dirty moral people running things....

Give me someone like President Bush any day of the week, at least we can hold our heads up with pride when he and his lady walk off the plane in a foreign county without wondering what back barroom deal has just been made....

The only thing that holds this country of ours together is its people. Our politicians are just about all crooked. And who puts them in office? People really need to start looking at these guys and when they make one wrong move, get them out of office and into prison. When you look at the state governments, the House, the Senate..........why would anyone feel that they should follow any laws that they come up with? Why would we even want to give them our hard earned money. Our system needs a complete change back to what this country was founded on.

Why not, look at 0's deal for his home with convicted felon Rezko. The people keep electing these crooks as long as they get what they want at someone else's expense.

The main "trap" in this episode is what came out of Rod's own "trap" (big mouth) that did him in.

I am reminded of Matthew 15:11

"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

Hopefully, what won’t get lost below the radar are the other two Senate fills due to appointments by BHO — Deleware and New York.

I’ll be there’s corruption stink in those States, too.,

Never mind that; it may have already happened.
Don't know about everyone else but, in view of the entrenched long-term corruption being revealed to the entire country, does anyone besides me wonder: in such a thoroughly corrupt environment, how does one get elected Senator from Illinois?

Sounds to me that the RICO laws are kicking in about 3 years too late...

Among other things, what’s really remarkable in all this is the lack of interest, up to now, of who would get the soon to be vacated Senate seat of Obama//Consider how much critical interest has been show in AK, MN, and GA/not that it could possibly be anyone other than a Dem.....interesting
to see who inherits the tainted seat.

filthy fraud and extortioner

Thinking back to the 1950's when I first became interested in politics, Chicago was always at the top of the list of corrupt dens of scoundrels (along with New Jersey, Philadelphia, New Orleans, etc.). The only big surprise about this is that Blagojevich hadn't learned the top mob rule, "Don't do business over the telephone." Checking for wires is also standard.

Did this POS think he had someone in the FBI or prosecutor's office?

Not a stretch at all...
..we've already had Bill Clinton & now Barack Obama...

..and John Kennedy---ALL the media knew about his womanizing & potential blackmail from that--

..to name a few.....if those aren't stretches....what is.

Actually, have we ever had an honest President, with the exception of Ronald Reagan?

Rare is the politician that doesn't give “favors” to those that contributed gobs of money or influence to get him/her elected.

Virtually all politicians have a “for sale” sign on them in one way or another.

Just look at the multimillion dollar contracts awarded all across the country to those that contribute to political campaigns.

A hundred grand or so will reap millions.

Not to mention the appointments.

Before yesterday afternoon was over, I was betting on Rahm telling Fizty to take Blag down.

It appears that I wasn’t the only one thinking that way.

To: STARWISE; Ernest_at_the_Beach; BIGLOOK; george76; PhilDragoo; Enchante
~~Making like Rahm’s the hero PING!

Yesterday, I put this same theory out after reading Fitzy’s bs that Obama was not involved.

Good investigators don’t pull the plug on undercover work until the really big fish are caught red handed with their pants down doing the crime.

Obama was tipped off about this. Rahm went to Fitzy and said, “End this now!”

How long did Fitzy allow the CIA Plame bs case to run after he knew that Armitage was the leaker. Years!

Fitzy ended this investigation before Obama/Rahm were caught in the net.

This was a good career move for Fitzy with his friend the Zer0 as president elect.
Before this is over, the Zer0 and Rahm will touted by the MSM as heroes in burying Blag.

Doesn't anyone here find it ODD that thios investigation was 'pulled' so early. Yes, I know they've been investigating him for sometime, but here was Fitzgerald, conducting a Scooter Libby/Valerie Plame invesitgation for two and a half years with only one stinking process crime.

Why not allow Blago to continue and SEE WHERE THE TRAIL OF CORRUPTION LEADS! Who the hell is buying the "We needed to ended it now before his level of corruption became even deeper??????????????????"

Rush intimated it yesterday, but I'll say it. First, there is NO way Obama wasn't involved and informed re: his own Senate seat. Second, Blago was the ONLY one who could appoint someone and we know they SPOKE. Third, it's obvious that when Fitzgerald realized that Obama MIGHT suddenly turn up on a phone tap he pulled the investigation..........either he did it to save his own career when Zero takes the White House, or Zero TOLD him to stop it before it got out of hand.

This is Chicago (my birthplace!) politics. Obama (street thug), Daley (political corruption headquarters), Rezko (bag man and felon), Blago (crooked pol from Chicago married to daughter of crooked pol from Chicago).

But magically, Obama KNOWS NOTHING!

Lord Acton:
“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

This means, given the opportunity ALL government leaders are eventually capable of this.

The only remedy is to DRASTICALLY REDUCE the SIZE and SCOPE of GOVERNMENT.
-eliminate department, functions,mandates and entitlements.
-Vigorous Cometition is the BEST regulator of ALL private activities with strict enforcement of FRAUD.
