Illinois Gov. Blagojevich taken into federal custody: report

And the winner is Mr OPC (yeah you know me)

Only a matter of time before a liberal starts the pissing contest in here.  Don't forget about mentioning Larry  "toe tapper" Craig, or how Bush lied and people died.  Noone is allowed to post anything negative about a fellow liberal w/out the thread getting sidetracked by the liberals with non-related BS.  I guess the Fairness Doctrine will be enforced by force in here.

.....attacking the thread poster with name calling (get off it idiot ).......and making racist charactizations in another thread of other member,....then trying to throw the discussion off the issue with ad hominem...

 All this after vowing to not come back in to the Political Forum and stick to MLB & NBA if released from detention..........

The question now is :

  If Obama did not want pay to play,is he not obligated to report the attempt to sell a United State's Senate seat  ?

That is how stupid you are.  You don't even know what you do instinctively.   What the fuck does the past governor and his scandal have to do with Blago?   I guess once you get to be as old as you are, there is no changing your mind.   Disagree with your idiotic rant,  Oh I must be an inbred redneck even though I am a college educated, successful person who takes care of his own shit.  Go change your depends and watch Olbermann.

Barack Obama's and David Axelrod's statements about it? I can not imagine any politician would not have distanced themselves from him, as much as possible, right after becoming aware of his previous (and obviously ongoing)  investigation into corruption and pay-to-play politics. 

November 23, 2008, David Axelrod appeared on Fox News Chicago and said something quite different.

While insisting that the President-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a "kingmaker," Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."

Clearly spoken by someone who did not accomplish a degree.  You list sales as your occupation and you are over 60 years old.  Tell me again how a college degree is worthless and I'll direct you to the nearest  mirror to see how old people w/out education are forced to work into their sixties.  I guarantee when I'm your age I will be long retired.  Calling others rednecks and such because they have different ideology than you not only shows your lack of education, but a closed mind also. 

Your only purpose on the political forum is start a pissing contest in any thread that casts a negative light on your fellow liberals.   Example;  Corzine  gets ripped on so you sidetrack to rip on a past republican Gov.   You are a one trick pony.
