Illinois Governor Arrested on Corruption Charges

4th since 1967. They are 4 for 7. That is staggering.
I never realized how bad it was in Il. and your right that is staggering. There are people who can bost that they voted for everyone of them in that short period of time.

What the heck does rich have to do with anything? That was a mindless comment.
what do you think happens to me if i commit a crime? i go to jail, plain and simple. did he commit a crime? yes. is he in jail? no. what is so mindless about that?

The Bears are rebuilding?
just go with it............

So what bothers you then is that he could afford to pay bail after being taken into custody to be charge with crimes he allegedly committed?

Whatever power he has to fill Obama's seat now is pretty much rendered moot now anyway. He's as lame duck as they come, even if by some miracle he is cleared of any wrongdoing. The stigma is there.

what bothers me is the double standard. for some reason our judicial system is, and always will be, about the money

In what way?

If you commit a crime you get arrested then get bail (if your not a flight risk or the crime is not to bad) and you get out of jail until your court date. Why is that any different then what is happening with him?

You're like our own little Cesar Chavez :) You're all about anti-business and power to the people aren't you

this man is employed to do what is best for the people. i hardly call what he did as representing anyone, but his own agenda. as far as power to the people, your darn right. this is a difference in belief. lets use the auto bail out for example. my belief is the big 3 were/ are grossly mis- managed. the republicans in senate are looking at the every day workers, saying they make too much money. in comparison, the big 3 wages are in line with Toyota, and Honda. to me there is nothing wrong with earning top dollar in the work place. to the G.O.P, this is a travesty. if your talking about the Chavez that stood up for the farm workers, then yes i am:)

Sorry the big 3 workers make more then the Honda/Toyota.
