WHICH FREEPER HAS THE MOST CORRUPT STATE?
10/18/ 02

The *Crintons supposedly come from Arkansas. They get a head start.

Wisconsin is still dusting off felonies that haven't been seen in decades.

Cally gets even closer to the Chicoms - just because of the earthquakes.

New Joisey? Fegedaboudid...

The *Crintons supposedly come from New York. Uh, oh.

There's no contest here! New Jersey! Have you all forgotten the absolutely brazen, no shame, slap in the face to The Rule of Law, decision given by the NJSC in the case of Torricelli/Forrester?

The rest of you just have to line up for second place.

( This post is a riot! Imagine! Everyone here WANTING to be from "the most corrupt state"!!!! LOLOL!)

How about all those false ads about Riley's taxes? When I hear one I turn the radio off or change the station. Does he really think that we believe that Riley did not pay his taxes for 9 years!!

Not sure if we are the most corrupt, but it sure stinks....

With "Gay" Davis at the helm, Californicate wins the prize. However, when Bill Simon wins on November 5th, he can change things. For victory & freedom!!!

An embarassment doesn't qualify as corruption.

Oh, no. You don't get off that easy - unless you know *Crinton personally...

No, but I can honestly claim non-involvement. I didn't move to Arkansas until 2001, so I had nothing to do with it!

Clinton and Schumer.

You don't need to say anymore - but just in case anyone has any doubts.

In the recent bill to pass the Senate re fighting election fraud by requiring voters to show proper ID - the bill passed 98-2, Clinton and Schumer of NY being the only two Senators to vote against it.

This Texan has the honor of being represented by Eddie Berniece Johnson, who as chairman of the State Senate Redistricting Committee carved her own Congressional district in the Dallas area, which one journalist likened to a Rohrschach test.

Because of the way she drew her district, it caused surrounding districts to be gerrymandered too. One of them was "contiguous and compact" only at low tide.

Compare this to the Miss USA contest. First, we whittle down the contestants to a list of five semifinalists.

From reading all the posts and consulting other sources, the semi-finalists for systemic corruption over two generations at multiple levels of government are Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. Sorry, you other guys just cannot compare, could compare but only with a single instance instead of multiple examples or long periods of time, or did not make strong enough arguments.

Then, for the final round, each state will be presented with a challenge: to name the single most corrupt elected official at the school-district, municipal, county, state, and federal levels. The Bill Clinton Award for Lifetime Achievement will be presented to that state which garners the majority vote of the judges on three out of five of these categories. Personally, I believe Louisiana is the favorite in this contest.

Here in the Communist state of NY (I live in Upstate, NY), land is being confiscated by the Gov't aka, the Rockefellers, through front groups. These groups are called Open Space Institute and Scenic Hudson both funded by the Rockefellers. All the land is being gobbled up and our taxes are shooting up. Patakifeller has campaign adds that say he has made NY a great state by having Gov't land acquisitions and he has made the air safe to breath and the water safe to drink. He is pathetic.

The sad thing is, most NYers don't even realize what is going on or they do but they are Free loaders off the Gov't.

I would say, Washington, DC, though not a state......Next would be anything north of the Mason-Dixon and west of the Rockies.
