Does anyone know where I can buy a senate seat?

Does anyone know where I can buy a senate seat? I can go as high as 100,000$. I was going to try in Illinois but moraka abama has cleaned the state up of fraud and corruption so I don't know where to start.

I was hoping they'd take Kathleen in on trade.. for what I don't know!!

I can not believe how giddy I am that he finally had charges brought against him.  This should tell you arrogant and stupid the man was.  He knew he was being investigated for other charges, yet he was still brazen enough to believe he could pull this off.

We will soon have back to back governors in federal prison.  That has to be some sort of record.

 

[knabe]

what party did the media say he was from?

hmm.  they just can't seem to wait to say it's a republican, but when the shoe is on the other foot, mum is the word.

Definitely.  It is pretty bad when you are literally hated by both political parties.  When it went down this morning I probably had received 50 emails on it in about 10 minutes.  Two common themes.  No one was shocked in the least, and no one was upset in the least.

Interesting to me is that even though he is a Democrat, MSM is all over it..  not the usual sweep under the rug Democratic wrong doings...

What do we do with Chicago?  Let it be it's own republic?  Give it to Canada?

Push it off into Lake Michigan and let it float to the UP......bury it....give it to Wisconsin....hell I don't care....we can have it shipped to Kansas if you guys want!

Let's see..  Gitmo, BioHazrd Plant, & Chicago...  I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore...

I have a feeling that Gov Rod and buddie Harris are just the first of many to fall when all the smoke settles!!  He may rat the whole Chicago Mafia out if offered enough money..... which he has already showed he will do!

still many outlets are not specifically stating he's a democrat.  none yesterday, only a couple today.

Strong rumors that Senator candidate #5  (the one who offered 500,000) is Jesse Jackson Jr.  If so goodbye to his young political career.  According to the complaint candidate #5 was one of Obama's least favored picks.  Blagojevich, according to the complaint, said he would pick Candidate 5 if Obama "didnt' give him anything".

You can't make this stuff up.

They wouldn't have reported it yesterday.  He was arrested at 6:15 this morning.  ;D

CNN calls him a Democrat.  www.cnn.com  If that's not MSM, I don't know what is....

started hearing about the story last night, and this morning, and NO ONE this morning identified the party, (i know, this still feels like an "i gotcha knabe"), but felt the need to bring up nixon for some context, so before the i told you so's come flowing, go back to the story this morning and list the one's who identified the party.

if it was just standard to always list the party, no matter the party when the story hits as standard procedure, this wouldn't be an issue.

 

[kanshow]

I will say that on the radio & tv, I have not heard them give his party, but it is out there.
