Well, the Republican Senate Campaign Committee has withheld its support. This is the same committee that interfered in primaries in favor of Arlen Specter and Lincoln Chafee. Let’s see how much the Democrats withhold support? They have Ted Kennedy in power despite his committing murder. Former Klansman Robert Byrd talking about white niggers on TV, and they praise him as perfect for any time in history.

For once I would really like the wing nuts to accept that their party has a greater potential for corruption than do Democrats. Not because they are worse people, but because they have held the reins of power so long.

And I hope ANY corrupt official, Democrat or Republican, is punished with jail time.

Cleveland, like other towns, has been controlled by the Democratic machine/Labor Union boys for fifty years. As a member of a visible Irish family, myself, I know I could get a county job tomorrow by calling in family favors. Russo, Dimora, Pumper, Cimperman, Mason, and Kelly are all names that will grace coming features.

As a scoop: This story involves arson (Cimperman’s residence which burned to the ground an hour before the raid), drugs and money laundring (Russo and Dimora), prostitution (Russo, Dimora, all the other good ol’ boys), and a whole shitload of anger over the mortgage scam perpetrated by Russo and the rest.

Oh, Cleveland was supposed to have a MedicalMart. We don’t. We now have the poorest city and anrgy taxpayers. I will relish actually being able to vote for new blood.

If you don’t want that to happen, I’m sure Begich.com wouldn’t mind $5 of your money. He’s not a bad guy, despite being a lib.

Looks like hard time to me.

Small bananas. Quarter mill of comp building work on a home in Alaska, can’t be reasonable cause for indictment.

Try reading the article.

The indictment accuses Mr. Stevens of failing to report on his financial disclosure forms receiving gifts of more than $250,000 — in labor and construction materials — from Veco Corp.

… at the same time that construction and architectural work was being done by Veco Corp. executives and employees on Mr. Stevens’ home in Girdword, the corporation was seeking assistance on business-related matters.

That amounts to open bribery.

Censure, maybe, temporary loss of House privileges, maybe too, ruining a lifetime’s reputation of loyalty to his State, no, that’s going too far, even for a bitter liberal like me.

This is a criminal charge, a felony. It isn’t an internal Senate rules violation.

a) Too late, Republicans got that covered

b) You’re paying more through hidden taxes than your were 6 years

Translation, they are all useless. At this point I think most Americans would settle for “not embarrassing”.

I’ll translate the double speak:

a)progressive view of government = More huge, inefficient social programs.

b)some fiscal reality = Massive & crushing tax increases during a recession that will further depress economy.
