That is what the headline should read. There is much more to read into what we are hearing.
First, I think we can all agree that this sort of thing has been going on for quite some time in all areas of our great nation.
The two things that make this stand-out is 1- It is a sequel of corruption for the state and 2- It was Obama’s former Senate seat.
Now the later is what got the most attention, I think to make an attempt to at least embarrass the new President or at least try to keep his plate full of things to deal with before he even takes office. Of course I find this most counter-productive but normal politics not needed at this point in our current crisis.
What disturbs me the most about all of this is how some are attempting to deal with it. Trying to find ways to bend the constitution to get him out of office. This is dangerous even if it is popular. Hey, I don’t want to see this guy continue any more than the folks in his home state but I’m not willing to let someone set a new standard for ousting these guys that could be used in a way not intended for perhaps a politically unpopular but good future Governor. Please think about this before supporting bending the rules to fit the need as it makes Us just as corrupt and dangerously subject to bad future politics. It may be that they will just have to live with this guy till he is convicted or unseated by popular vote. That is the American Way!
I can only wish they would clean out Congress as well.
