Obama and Illinois Gov. Blagojevitch (D): Questions Remain

It’s beyond the time when John McCain should just ride off into the sunset. We here in Arizona will do our best to see him off, you can make book on it. How many times does one have to be stabbed in the back by this guy before one realizes this guy is deranged, and dishonest.

umm, how long does it take to fidure out who in obama’s office talked to the govs peeps? shouldn’t this info have been released by now? i think so and i am already tired of the “transparency”, there is none and never will be. he and the rest of the chicago mess are making a mockery of this nation. pisses me off.

This is the same type of behavior that kept him from winning the presidency.

McCain does this out of his own egotistical need to feel honorable and pat himself on the back for doing so. After how he was treated by the media/left he still doesn’t understand that the dems/left won’t compromise, they aren’t reasonable people who love America, and all they care about is having power so they can make us like Europe.

The questions being asked are quite reasonable. His failure to understand that changes nothing.

Tom, you said:

You never see democrats attacking their own and that is why they are so stong as they support each other while some of our Repulicans , Hagle, Powell, and now MaCain have no problem with throwing conseratives under the bus.

…. that’s a joke, right? *Surely* you meant that in the most sarcastic sense…

There’s one thing on this story that hasn’t been really discussed yet and that is the methodology of how the “pay for play” money was always distributed to Blagojevich. He didn’t accept the graft and bribes hand over fist, because the IRS would have been all over that. He mainly took it in via campaign donations. Now if you note that Obama came up to power along with Rod, don’t you think he might have have picked up on the same strategy? If you were running the investigation of “Hot Rod” and picked up on this, wouldn’t that have sent up a red flag that maybe, just maybe, a closer look was due of Obama’s record $750 million taken in, who donated, and where that money was spent and who received it or perchance was bought with it?:

If I were the FBI, IRS, & FEC this would now be setting off some serious bell and whistle alarms. Maybe a look at his infomercial, “Greek Column” show, victory announcement party, and inaugural celebration expenditures, as well as, potential pay for play political donations by people who are members of his transition team, cabinet, and campaign staff, along with those who have been interacting financially with Gov. Rod over the years and going back to his state senate days. It’s also high time those 501Ks were audited. There is no way he can be squeaky clean coming out of that environment.

imissamerica, so you think the fact that the most crime ridden and corrupt states are blue is just a coincidence?

Alaska is a lot like Chicago-everybody is dirty, but is the exception as far as Red states go. The corruption in Lousiana seems to be primarilly in New Orleans. It was blue for decades until recently. Are you really trying to blame that on the newly elected Reps?

McCain’s problem is that he dislikes his own party even more than he dislikes the democrats. IMHO, he’s never had the support of any of the grassroots GOP organisations, and seem to disdain and dismiss them as either corrupt or stupid or dishonorable.

He may be a decent guy personally, but he does not understand that nobody votes for someone who is always criticising his own side. And those media and dems who praised him when he was the repub rebel, all voted for and supported his opponent Obama when it was crunch time.

I think we all realize now, a guy like this can never win.

John McCain: You sat out the election, now sit down and shut up.
