Comments on: Ted Stevens Guilty In Corruption Case
Alaska GOP Lawmaker Not Dropping Out Of Senate Race Despite Conviction On 7 Counts Related To Lying About Gifts
- Senator Ted Stevens epitomizes the Republican party: old, worn out, corrupt, and in bad need of an overhaul from top to bottom. Seriously, if the GOP doesn''t take a good, hard inward look and figure out how to reinvent itself, its future is pretty dismal. Rather than attracting people, the party that boasts exclusivity is now turning away true conservatives in droves, guys like George Will, Colin Powell, and Christopher Buckley. Even the Chicago Tribune for the first time ever endorsed a Democrat for president.
Wake up, GOP, and smell the coffee. It''s for your own good. - Reply to this comment
- Snopes.com has already disproved all of this along with about 2 dozen other false and malicious rumors - I was not going to vote but thanks to folks like you I will be going just to vote against your candidate since you are running bash and trash 24/7. thank yourself when McCain loses big.

Obama said %u201CI hardly knew the man!%u201D We only sat in the same room.
1993 Obama joins woods foundation were he serves with Ayers

April 20 2002 Obama and Ayers appear on panel together, the topic %u201CIntellectuals in Crisis%u201D.
Still later, Obama helped Ayres promote his terrorist supportive book.

- Ted Stevens is an individual who scoffs at the idea that laws apply to him. it would be a very good experience for him to be in jail for at least 6 months.

- Stevems said the computer is a system of "tubes". He must not know much about technology, or he would know that ALL his telephone calls and emails can be monitored. So, in his defense, would we have to clean house in Congress if we applied this "lying" charge to each member, and used the Patriot Act to investigate?
I am for TERM LIMITS for all public posts simply bacause "re-election" becomes the driving force by the time they first take office. Let''s eliminate their fat retirement pensions and let them pay for their own , or survive off of Social Security like the majority of the low income have to do. Out of over 300 million people, surely there are plenty of qualified people who can serve their country for a short period of time.
Maybe Stevens will do the honorable thing and go quietly into the Alaskan sunset, hopefully at the beginning of the six months winter. At 64, he is ready to be put out to pasture. - Reply to this comment
- It is sad that someone like Stevens, now a convicted criminal, doesn''t have enough honor within him to go quietly into the night. It is sadder still, that there are a number of irritatingly noisy cretins who still support him.

- In Asia, leaders guilty of malfeasance often commit suicide out of shame.

I get your point. Not that I wish him to commit suicide, but he should just go sit down somewhere. He is crazy! - Reply to this comment

- Oh how we need term limits on these old timers. The more they are allowed to stay in power, the more crooked they become. At the least they should have a mandatory retirement age. Give some younger folks a chance you greedy crooks!

No shame. - Reply to this comment
- Ted Stevens must be excused due to manic depression. He is an alcoholic and drug addict. The renovations to the property were made because Ted hallucinates and suffers from delusions. The Judge should order psychiatric treatment.

I don''t think she can pardon him if it''s a Federal rap???? don''t know really. The root cause of all this was Mrs Stevens watching too much HGTV! Added a second story; decks; this'' n that! Too much attention to renovation and not enough curb appeal! - Reply to this comment
- Palin pals around with felons? I will vote Obama!!!
(heartlandjim)
It isn''t a felony when Republicans do it. It''s a goldarn "resume enhancement." Stevens is just another maverick looking for a Neiman-Marcus branding. Ponder this, if there had been triple the counts of lying, would the jury have had any reason not to convict? Goldarnit, a man who sells his country a billion dollars worth of worthless bridge wouldn''t lie to any lesser soul, right? Youbetcha. - Reply to this comment
