Dear God in heaven, we deserve better than this!

No, we most certainly do not.

“I agree with their decision, and it is extremely disappointing that Governor Blagojevich has chosen to ignore it.

Damn racist.

The nitty-gritty reality is now oozing through the cracks, but “we” aren’t responsible for the “circle jerk” — the 52% of the country that voted for him can thank themselves for this circus.

I am right there with you,if you look at my earlier posts,I give the democrats no quarter for this circus.

My point is (I may not have made it clear) is that they spent the last 8 yrs. telling everybody how corrupt Republicans are,and that they were smarter and could do a better job.
Well their Messiah has not even been sworn in yet and he has gone back on many promises including the foundations that he ran on and that was ending the Iraq war and change in how things were done on capital hill.(I support the Iraq/Afghanistan war and am proud of the 50 million we have freed from tyranny,but Obama and the democrats have advocated immediate withdrawl for years.They have the control now,why have they changed their minds and taken on Bush’s policies).

Obama has taken the same approach to Iraq that Bush did and that is to bring troops home based on conditions on the ground.
Democrats from Rangel,Spitzer,Blago,to Dodd are up to their necks in corruption,lies and the democratic congress is the worst in History.

This democratic lead government is nothing but a cluster-fu#k and Obama has not even been sworn in yet.

With the serious issues we have going on,we don’t have the time economically or grace period internationally for this democratic circus.

I have listened to democrats tell the nation for 8 years how much smarter they are than everybody else.They had better start showing it because reality is going to hit the
“hope and change” crowd like a Mack truck and if they don’t have their sh!t together,we are all going to suffer.They are the ones in total control,President,Senate,House.

They have had control of Congress since 2006.
This is not a credible and confidence building start to the
“Yes we can” era.

“Quinlan has not been accused of any wrongdoing, though it is widely believed that he would be able to assist federal prosecutors in their case against Blagojevich. It is unknown whether Quinlan has agreed to cooperate in the investigation.”

Ed you aluded thus, and so my now and future reaction to this is:

1) Only tell your attorney as much as he needs to know for this current case. Priviledged info-what?
2) Have more on him than he does on you.
3) Never buy lunch, although buy him a drink if he just
a. Got you laid,
b. Got you out, or
c. Got you money.
4) Treat him like the tool he is.
5) Always double check what he tells you.

Tough day for Blagojevich: His General Counsel’s resigned, presumably to help the feds build a case against him.

Plus, lots of new witnesses are lining up.
The Blagosphere is growing!

“I believe the best resolution would be for the Governor president-elect to resign his office and allow a lawful and appropriate process of succession to take place. While Governor Blagojevich P-E Obama is entitled to his day in court, the people of Illinois America are entitled to a functioning government and major decisions free of taint and controversy.”

hm

Blago is a public relations genius!!!

Burris has grand mausoleum ready (listing his accomplishments – with room for more) for himself in Chicago cemetary

We really don’t have time for this circle jerk that is happening on Capitol Hill.

For over a year, we’ve heard about Obama’s ties to Blago, Rezko, Auchi and numerous other unsavory Chicagoans. The old media ignored it, called it “guilt by association,” and crowned Obama the “post-racial candidate” and his presidency the second coming of Camelot.

The nitty-gritty reality is now oozing through the cracks, but “we” aren’t responsible for the “circle jerk” — the 52% of the country that voted for him can thank themselves for this circus.

For those who say Blago’s antics aren’t Obama’s fault, let’s be clear: he’s now the leader of the Dem party, and he was unanimously supported by Illinois Dems. A strong and swift statement urging the IL legislature to quickly pass legislation to enact a special election would have avoided all this, but neither he nor they wanted to take the chance of losing the seat. They — and him — blew a chance to at least appear to be trying to clean up their rancid politics, but they’ll keep that seat, and that’s really all that matters.

I hope Blago keeps on truckin’ — if ever a party deserved someone like him, Barry and Dems do.

The goal is not to have a balanced senate, but one that represents the people as the people chose.
