Are there ANY honest politicians?

Heard some of it on the news at lunch. They have him on tape bargaining for who he appoints to President elect Obama's now vacant Senate seat. One of his aides is on tape saying the President elect can get the Governor's wife some appointments to paid spots on corporate boards. The old gov was dropping F bombs left and right on the tapes, and at one point referred to the President elect as a MF'er. Pretty tawdry stuff.

The U.S. Attorney at the press conference said Mr. Obama was in no way implicated, nor do they believe he had any knowledge of these goings on.

I'd say this kind of stuff is the norm, especially in Chicago. What isn't the norm is someone getting caught at it. Under current Illinois law, he can make the Senate appointment from jail if he chooses.

Politics at it's very finest.

What amazes me is that folks will get on here and other forums and actually argue over which is the best crook to vote for.

I have met one honest politician in my life and it was state rep Larry Belcher. He was one of my former teachers who retired and ran for office on an education and taking care of kids platform and all of his votes reflected exactly what he stood for which was also exactly what his campaign promises said. Unfortunately he was killed in a car crash a few months back while driving home from Bowling Green.

Heck, the off topic would be dead if not for an occasional Political jab fest.

This country has turned out some great men in the past and there are some others not so great that ought to be turned out.

Some CROOKS are better than others...........

AND McCAIN never took a single dollar in handouts, so in my book, he is MUCH cleaner than most other politicians.
