"I can see Russia from my jail cell."
 

Sen. T. Stevens covicted on 7 (SEVEN) felonies!!!:LOL:

WHAT a P.O.S. !!!!!:LOL:

Longest term holder in the Senate....Ole' Boy network...exactly what's wrong with this administration......biggest P.O.S. Dick Cheney!!! With all of his FAT A$$ friends....Please , just go away!!!


If Stevens doesn't step down, which he won't , (balls bigger than Tom Delay) and Alaska STILL votes him in ...what does that say about Alaska???

Prediction: Stevens get's re-elected. You betcha!!**)

So , how was your last eight years????:CRY:

My last eight years were better than I would have ever guessed or dreamed of .

That includes finances,retired last Nov. the day after I turned 59. 100% debt free w/ six figures in the bank.My son's college and graduate schools 100% funded .

Health - Son in great health.I have over a year in not smoking.

Life is Great !!!

Sorry it sucks so bad being a Lib.:CRY:

But Libs have always been about being unhappy and pissing & moaning about everything.:rolleyes:

Like him or not, Ted Stevens will never serve a day in jail. I am not up on Alaska politics, but NPR claimed he has stiff competition. But then, they also have been saying the same thing about McCain from day one. It IS afterall, NPR. Other than that, he's got a good shot at being reelected. Laugh all you will, but Folks from Massachussets have been relecting a criminal (Teddy) for YEARS! But, he knows how to bring home the bacon. Ted Stevens does too.

Mike

Arrrgh! Don't remind me! Kerry has competition this year, and while the polls show he has a 65%-35% lead it is a better ratio than it was last time he ran when it was 80%-20%. At this rate we should have Kerry out of office around 2020 - long before Kennedy retires at age 137.:CRY:

Steve

ONE YEAR+.....Congradulations on you & your account being healthy:LOL::LOL:

Wow. If you're that poor, I would think you would want Obama in office. My condolences. :LOL:

Everything you said is similar for me. Worked my ass off for a long time and retired at 54 1/2, beating my target by six months. And Obama wants to redistribute my wealth? Guess he and his embarrassment of friends believe its a lot easier to legislate away my money as compared to using a gun on the street.

I am truly amazed (make that incredulous) that approximately half of the voting public favors Obama. It just reinforces the old statement that 50% of your friends are more stupid that you are. The other 50% of your friends are smarter than you and are voting for McCain.

Obama sees the US wealth as a pie, and he wants to determine who gets what portion of the static pie.

McCain, on the other hand, wants to grow the size of the pie, and let the people decide how to divide an ever increasing pie.

Very basic. Not too hard for anyone to understand.

Steve - do not forget Bawany Fwanks. He is the illegitimate son of Kerry and Kennedy with all of the worst traits amongst the K twins. He is truly a waste of human skin. In the 1800's, he would have been tarred and feathered and helped out of town on a rail. Wait a minute, I think I have a picture of him smiling while being tarred and feathered at one of his parties!

Bawany makes Kennedy look like Mother Teresa. John Fitzgerald Kerry is just a gigolo with a good job and a ultra-rich wife. By the way, JFK stands for "Just For Kerry".

I'm only ashamed of the political mess here in MA on days of the week that end in "day".

McCain might want to grow the size of the pie, but his policies will not actually do that. The trickle down of 2001 has not trickled down, and the majority of the population knows it because they are losing jobs, hours, and salary and have been for a few years.

And if 392 is sitting on 6 figures for his retirement he is doing a lot better than most Americans (before the drops).

Steve

That's not soo bad, in the late 70's, our sheriff was arrested,tried,convicted and while spending his 30 days in his own jail he was RE-ELECTED, by a landslide vote..........

How was my last 8 years you ask??? Financially, the best 8 years I ever had, now if I could get my 22 year old daughter married off, I could retire NOW!!!!!!:LOL::LOL:

Requirements for my new son-in-law.....

1. decent paying job (anything above minimum wage will do for starters)
2. home, be it trailer or house, I don't care, just as long as it has a roof that doesn't leak..(too much)...
3. his own lawnmower that runs
4. must live a minimum of 100 miles from ME

anyone having a single son that will match all criteria,please send photos of the house, lawnmower, dowry depends on size of house/lawnmower and distance from ME, the further the better!!!!!!!!!:):););)

David

Yep, I agree. I keep wondering who actually votes for Frank and the Twins, 'cause even though I have friends who are Democrats I don't know anybody who has ever admitted to voting for them.
I played pool with Bill Weld once back when he was Gov. I liked the guy, and had hopes for him going a bit further.

And you would propose what in its place?
(This should be interesting.....)

I've made out quite well since the Clinton years - despite a brutal 2000-2001 divorce.
Trickle down is the American Way, Liberty and personal freedom left intact.
"Bottom up" thru confiscatory taxation damned sure won't do it!

:JEKYLHYDE

Trickle down economics during the Reagan years of tax cuts DOUBLED the taxes collected by the IRS. Of course, liberals tend to forget this.

Obama, on the ultra left wing-nut platform, wants to institute a new economic policy ... its called "Trickle-Up Poverty". It used to be called "welfare", but Socialists like to use new names for failed policies of the past.

But we digress from the reason for this thread. The scum Senator from Alaska. Who cares what party he belongs to. He is a criminal. Lock him up. Hell, they should lock up a lot more of our legislators.

Warren,
Trickle down works great in some cases, but not all the time. And it can cause recessions if the middle and lower classes have no spending power. Look up Keynesian economics.

Personally, I think that anybody serving in Congress who gets nailed doing this sort of thing should have all possessions taken from him that were given by the public, then he should be pilloried in the capital of whatever state he served.

Did you hear about Wilkerson? She could get 40 years! Even Deval Patrick thought it might be best for her to step down! Nothing will happen to her though.:mad:

Steve

Let's not beat around the Bush now! I would like to see some good old fashion frontier justice...like hang all those bastards that lied , cheated and stold from the American public and include company employees that went along with the planned cheating. We could start with Congress and CEO's and then work down the ladder.
Perhaps we could make the scary Bill O'Reilly the "hangin judge" and then maybe Sherriff Joe Arpile (sorry for the wrong spelling), the man tripping the trap door. We could spare a few libs to help haul all the bodies off for burial in a protected off shore area.

Am I a sicko or what, Old Bill

What if she somehow wins back her seat on a write-in campaign next week? That would be wonderful, huh? It is truly amazing how much trouble she has been in over the last 20 years ... caught lying in court ... income tax evasion ... almost losing her house due to foreclosure ... countless reprimands of misusing donations to her campaigns for personal use .... and now accepting bribes. Love how they took her picture while she was stuffing bribe money in her bra. :LOL: :LOL:

I wonder how far the corruption goes through out the legislature? I'd really love it if she turned into a Federal witness and dropped a bunch of dimes.

Oh, but she is a liberal democrat. We forgive you. We all know how difficult a time you had as an oppressed minority. Good old governor Cadillac De Ville and Mayor Mumbles really have egg on their face for backing such a known reprobate.

Give me a break. That slut should be locked up for a long time. And the best part is that when she is convicted of that felony, she will not be able to collect any of her state pension.

It must be something in the water in her district. She will be the third politician convicted of a felony.

I'm convinced most of our elected officials face a drain on their honor and character (if they had any to begin with?), it might be the campaign process, the ego boost or the 'deal' making once in office?. Stevens, wilkerson and a bunch of others pretty much proves it...IMO.

Ah, yes!
 

Let us not forget the irrepressible Marion Barry.

And the D.C. citizenry who re-elected him. After criminal convictions.

Bill, are YOU running for office?
I'm applying for a job in your cabinet.
I live west of Phoenix....

:D

Stevens is trying to cash in on the Reaganesque likable old man routine - can't be mean to him.....
They need to show him the door from the ballot box, let him deal with any legal trouble on his own time.
From what I've heard about his little scam, he's guilty as hell and playing dumb.
If nothing else, throw his ass out simply for playing dumb!
You want somebody so easily "victimized" by his own "mistakes" running your affairs?
If his only crime is incompetence, he does not need to be holding a public office.
I believe there's alot more to it than that...


The thing that drives me INSANE is when you're caught - you're caught!
Resign from office so somebody can do the damned job!

Mark Foley and Larry Craig are the most recent sexual deviants to get their weenie in the wringer and I supported EVERY effort to remove them.
Betraying the public trust with such contempt should get them out of office NOW.

Over the years, the "conservative" Republican party has had its share of trouble.
Where they differ from the Dems is that they are usually quick to shove them out.
Remember Jack Ryan? How about old Bob Packwood?
Hell, even the California/Conservative Lite Republican Schwartzenegger has skeletons in his closet.


Now, should I start listing the Democrats and their LONG list of idiocy?
I'm not talking about allegations and sketchy testimony.
No, no, no, let's leave the internet sleuthing to the pros on the Left.
Let's just go straight to the facts, shall we?

Their party will do anything to protect them, because there's hardly a crime heinous or lascivious enough to weigh on the conscience of your garden-variety Liberal.
They are only outraged when they perceive something amiss across the aisle.
In their own glass house, anything goes....
