It really is a sad day when a Democrat begins to behave as a Republican...

Except that no Republicans were involved in this scandal, only Democrats. Illinois has a history of political corruption and power brokering. Note that Obama came up through the corrupt Illinois political system.

Jesse Jackson Jr is black. That means he is innately evil.

According to today''s New York Times, Blagojevich was expecting a cabinet position in Health and Human Services from Obama if he put a certain person in Obama''s vacated senate seat. Now what outcome would cause Obama to be so indebted to Blagojevich that he would pay him off like that?

Let''s see now, there was Rezko, the preacher, Daley, Ayers, the Jackson 2, ACORN, and now the Governor...all good friends of Mr. Obama and all corrupt. How is it that Mr. Obama stays so pure...like a virgin in a **********? I say if it smells like a fish it probably is a fish and B.O. is getting pretty smelly before he even hits the White House.

All I have to say to Jessie Jackson Jr. is
Lier, Lier, pants on fire......

You have been found out..a million dollars to buy Obama''s Senate seat, that''s too much, he was only in it for 2 years, the last two years he has been running for President.
