Veteran Alaska Republican Has Been Under Investigation In Corruption Probe

[pepperp1]

...lobbying firm that hired former Sen. Conrad Burns is under investigation for the alleged misuse of federally appropriated funds....more than a party that has a culture of corruption I believe we have rightly moved to criminal enterprise, imagine what will break loose after Gonzo is bounced?

Just what we need some oil field engineer working on building a house, and sounds simalar too some twp. sewer engineer working on an electrical street lighting system.

I think it is criminal the way many of our politicians are bought and paid for, by corporations, unions, and the like. This is happening on both sides of the aisle and should be condemned equally.

Amen! It's time to stop being partisan of our contempt what's happening in Washington and realize they are both sides of the same coin!

Stevens is just one more!

Our "elected" officials are NOT representing us. That is a charade, like the elections themselves have become. How many people realize that because of intensive "gerrymandering," at any given general election only about 4% of House seats are truly in dispute? Didn't know that? Didn't make the news recently? I wonder why.

Corruption is the becoming the rule. Fed up yet?

At this point, Impeachment is almost the MINIMUM we can do to restore some law and order here.

But with THIS Congress? Hah! Wanna see recalcitrant Dems find some courage and "get the message"? See http://switch2green.org for a tactic likely to have a major result. Your registration change could have more effect and leverage than your vote! Make them listen.

I am sick of all the pork projects, from Steven's "bridge to nowhere" to Kennedy's engine that the airforce doesn't want and the Big Dig fiasco.

Isn't this the same guy who wanted to paint a fish on the side of an AK airliner - to the tune of like half a million dollars???

So, can we just agree that politicians, regardless party line, are prone to being scum because it's the nature of the field of work they chose? Lawyers, by nature, are self-serving and greedy. Why are we surprised to hear a politician has yielded to temptation? DUH! Why they aren't all fitted with tracking chips is beyond me. They can't be trusted to run to the store for milk and bread without scre..wing someone over before the errand is complete!

Leadership at the top of both public and private sectors is full of a form of high society trailer trash that like to pick on the "common criminal" instead of taking a serious look at themselves.

A society or organizations mission, values and behaviors are established by the leadership. There is far too much garbage at the top and it's leading to collapse.

Monetary and material bribery is killing democratic society.

What!? Another Republican in a corruption probe? It looks like there really is a "culture of corruption" in the Republican party.

There is a culture of corruption. It goes all the way back to Reagan and the contras though many would rightly point to well before that. The powers that be like to cite any democrat i.e. Clinton making for a useful distractor to the people...smoke and screens. Clinton was in many ways an old republican but wasn't part of this club of parasitic privatized empire building fascist robber baron neo con multinational corporate crime ring.
