You'd be happy to know here in TN they arrested 5 state legislators, I
believe 4 were Dems and 1 was republican...for taking pay offs of some kind. We'll find out alot more when they go to trial. One of them was kin to Harold Ford who wants to run for Senate next time. think it was his Uncle? Charles Walker, Democrat in Augusta GA was also indicted and convicted of several charges . Maybe these folks will start walking the line...but I doubt it. Heck people in Georgia voted that idiot Cynthia McKinney back into office.

SAD SAD SAD Snipola Saw on the news just yesterday about the woes of San Diego. The mayor has resigned, the guy about to take his palce was convicted, and two city council seats are vacant as well due to convictions. Something to do with taking bribes from local strip clubs to get the laws changed to allow the dancers to touch the customers. Apparently San Diego is now looking for it's fourth mayor in a year. I like the idea from, I think it was Brewster Millions?, of "vote for none of the above". There should be a checkbox on all ballots for " non of the above" that gets tallied and reported. It may not count towards anyone getting into office but it would certainly show the lack of confidence people have in those running for and holding office.

Why don't you contact them and suggest it: http://www.cookrepublicans.com/ The $10,000 reward is part of a larger effort by the Cook County Republican Party to expose political corruption. In February, the Party announced its 312-WHISTLE hotline and website (www.312WHISTLE.com), providing an outlet for staffers to leave anonymous tips about corruption at City Hall. Kohn confirmed that the hotline has yielded numerous tips that are currently being investigated. The 312-WHISTLE hotline is open to accept tips about Mayor Daley. |

Brian I generally don't trust career politicians. I'd much rather trust people who had 'normal' jobs (what is "normal" anyways?) before their life as a politician.....even if it is a football or baseball player or actor (no, I'm not necessarily endorsing Arnold) and those are not "normal" jobs by any stretch of the imagination.
