That the tapes released, so far, are just the tip of the iceberg.
Please. Will all other corruptoids who want to run a state take a look at how well the feds are putting the crooks out of business? Please don't even try to make a mess in the first place.
Thank you.

Many from Obama's home state of Illinois wanted to see him go to Washington because he's just too good to be hanging around the zoo that has been the usual state of Illinois politics.
Rod is clearly trying to drag others, who have reached a pinnacle of power, down into the mud with him. It's an absolute disgrace.
As for Lisa Madigan, when she finally runs Illinois as a governor, or perhaps represents Illinois in the Senate, leadership will be much improved, no doubt.
Trying to drag her name into the mud isn't going to work, either.
Rod in done. The theater acting is awful.
Please don't view Obama differently just because some of the political animals from the Illinois zoo act up every now and then.
The feds are working on cleaning the mess up by busting guys like Rod. Better days are ahead for Illinois.

Guess we will have to wait until the next administration for an investigation into this, since that is now the standard.
Is it too late to prosecute Bill Clinton for perjury? Guess Bush messed up on that one too.

A very wise person once said to me "tell me who you hang around with and I'll tell you who you are". Look at the simple facts people. Rezco, Aires, Wright and many more were his buddies and confidants as a young politician. Now Axlerod and Emanuel are his right hand men. Give me a break and stop being so fvcking blind people!!!! Obama is as corrupt as the day is long and you agenda cramming liberals won't see it until it is too late. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

Too much of what is happening regarding health care reform smacks of Blagojevich type tactics. What the Democrats in the Senate Finance Com,mittee, and the deal Obama made withnBig Pharma are clearly quid pro quo.

As easy as this would be to believe, coming from Blago means it probably isn't true. However, Blago should watch his back as the people he is trying to smear do not play!

Are you suggesting that Obama's puppet master, Emanuel, might have done something corrupt or dishonest. I can't imagine that this could be the case because these Chicago politicians are so honest and integrity filled.
