The Conviction of Ted Stevens ( Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish)

My ZimbioTop Stories Add to Technorati Favorites
On Oct. 27 Alaska's Senator Ted Stevens was convicted on all counts of corruption that he has been charged with. I say this: " Good, I'm glad he got convicted" and here's why. As a conservative Republican I have had it up to my head with corrupt politicians who care only for themselves. These "people" have absolutely no honor, no character, and no integrity and like I said care only about their political advancements. My proof of this is; in an interview one of Alaska's "senators" said that the primary job of an elected official is to "bring in money for his or her state". This belief shows both the corruption, dishonor, and lack of integrity and ethics that the Republicans and liberal Democrats have. Second, in a news report about a congressional inquiry on the credit fraud crisis a "Republican" member openly pointed the finger at the CEO of one of the major banks that failed saying" obviously you know what your role here is". When I heard this I thought that if he were in my district I would never ever vote for him and sadly he was not alone. These dishonorable "people" do not represent us, they represent themselves and only themselves and that's why I see them only as low-life pimps. Third, Massachusetts scumbag Rep. Barney Franks in an ad lied to voters when he said he "tried to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac". The truth is he and other members like him in both parties are solely responsible for this economic crisis by accepting bribe money ( because true campaign donations have no strings attached) in exchange for complete deregulation and anarchy of the banking system. When I attempted unsuccessfully to run for Utah State House of Representative district 75, this is precisely the reason I promised myself that I would never take Any and I repeat ANY campaign funds and I never did. Fourth, by not taking Amy campaign funds I would never owe anyone, but the People, anything. In other words campaign funds as they are now always have strings attached and are no better then bribery. Fifth, corrupt politicians like Barney Frank, Ted Stevens, Chris Dodd and those who excuse this type of attitude like Orin hatch and Barack Obama can no longer be allowed to stay in office and must all be voted out. Sixth, I have no respect for anyone who either is corrupt or excuses corruption and here's why. In my opinion there is no room in this country for dishonor or corruption of any kind. However, if the conviction was ill-gotten and the prosecutor withheld evidence he should go straight to prison for obstruction of justice. Because no prosecutor in my opinion has the right to determine what evidence gets shown, that rests with the judge. I'm glad he got convicted and good riddance to bad rubbish, but if the conviction was dishonest then then the prosecuting attorney should go straight to prison. because like I said, there is no room in our society and no room in our country for dishonest, disreputable, dishonorable, corrupt officials. Finally, As I've said the corrupt belief that an elected officials job is to bring money to their states is wrong, because the number one job of any honorable elected official is to help and work for the PEOPLE and not "bring home the bacon".
