Rod Blagojevich (D)

Urbane Guerrilla · 12-10-2008, 05:34 PM

Blagojevich behaved just like Clinton.

One more datum for why people of integrity don't vote for Democrats, and shouldn't vote for Democrats.

Give campaign contributions to somebody else.

I vote for the equivalent of the dems over here...and I have integrity. In fact, a lot more integrity than a lot of the reps I've seen but then there are some bad dems too.

I don't know when people are going to get over the whole, good or bad depending on what side you're on thing. There are good and bad politicians on both sides of the fence, just as there are good and bad people in all aspects of life. Just because one politician does the wrong thing doesn't mean the whole party is bad. It means they may have made a bad choice in selecting that candidate, but that's happened to both sides before too.

Apparently the (D) stands for (D)umbshit?

What a doofus this guy is. Thank goodness Republicans never behave in such a dishonest, moneygrubbing, cynical manner.

One side is just as bad as the other, and the worst offenders are the ones who use blanket statements to vilify the opposition. You contribute to the problem of partisan bickering in doing that.

Why should I care about that?

The attitude of Blagojevich could not have developed in a vacuum. Damn crook might as well have listed the seat on E-bay. (hey, hehe, there's an idea.. anyone?)

ZenGum · 12-10-2008, 08:46 PM

I guessed it was Latin for "what he said".

RES IPSA LOQUITUR - Lat. "the thing speaks for itself." Refers to situations when it's assumed that a person's injury was caused by the negligent action of another party because the accident was the sort that wouldn't occur unless someone was negligent.

Yes. I was referring more to the translation than anything else.

Rod B is not going to jail for being a Democrat. He's going to jail for being a crook.

George Ryan (the prior governor) is in the pokey right now and is/was a Republican. Crooks must be non-denominational.

I believe that the original posting in this thread was intended to indicate that Democratic crooks are somehow more obvious, natural and frequent than any other kind.
