Jesse Jackson JR Named As Candidate 5

[850538050]

Bunch of Good Fellas huh? not in my government!

[ameneses52]

Jesse Jackson Jr. should be called "INMATE NO# 5!!!"This asshole belongs in a jail for treason along Blago!! Corrupt politicians like JJJ and Blago deserves public beating!!!

[Olatunje]

If you knew the definition of treason you would not use it in this context.

[ameneses52]

Selling and buying highest positions of the country...IN MY OPINION IS CLOSE TO TREASON. SELLING YOUR COUNTRY"S INTEREST IS TREASON!!!

[Olatunje]

Yes that is your opinion.

They have been buying and selling this country's interest since it was founded.

[carcabe]

There is something refreshingly honest about the outright sale of a Senate seat. Government and politics is all about theft, power, force and self-aggrandizement pursued under the guise of high ideals. It's for the people, the poor, the children. For once the curtain was ripped aside and we see it all for what it is.

[Olatunje]

Obama was the only black in the senate, so who should be his replacement? Well Jr. of course! Jr. or another minority will get this senate seat.

[Sergio022s]

how anti-democratic this situation is to "appoint" senators. There should be in place a different procedure for God's sake.

[Olatunje]

If you think that way do something about it. Carolyn Kennedy wants Hillary Clinton's Senate Seat and the list goes on. That is the place in the procedure. The Governor makes the appointment.

[edmunmi]

and, who really cares what went on in Illinois? It is wrong and stupid but it is politics, this govoner is an a**hole anyway who should have never been elected, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jesse Jackson Jr tried to buy the seat and is lying through his teeth about it. I'm not going to comment on this anymore... promise

[edmunmi]

to "LS_Suck" I am willing to bet you are an uneducated, lower middle class, angry white man...the kind Obama so accurately descibed when he stated that you all are "bitter americans who cling to guns and religion and antipathy for people who aren't like them" The time for division in this country is over

[edmunmi]

to "liberalsStillSuck" - I have a degree in political science, what do you have? My guess would be nothing. You're understanding of politics is nothing. You are talking all that garbage about Farahkhan and Ayres, can you not see that SMART INFORMED VOTERS didn't pay that any attention this year. I am not a republican hater, not a conservative hate, I just hate dumb people who bash others because they have a diffrent outlook...check your screen name??? what is that about?

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

All these people sleep together. It's about power and money!

The Gov. refused to play nice and was kicked to the curb long ago. He is mad because he has nowhere to go in politics and was offered nothing.

[RachTrinity]

ROFL...ah, as Conservatives we will just sit back and toe tap..LOLOL! Enjoy the reign of Barack Hussein!!

[edmunmi]

I doubt that Obama is involved. How could he be involved? The Govoner was trying to sell his vacant Senate seat....How could Obama be involved? What was he trying to buy it back and serve as both senator and president? Or maybe he was going to buy it for Jesse Jackson Jr. so he could have his "soul brother" in the Senate??? GET OFF OF IT! There is no connection. Stop watching FOX. And Farrakhan is not a terroist, and Ayers didn't write Obama's books...Just please stop posting ignorant comments

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

Your understanding of politics edmunmi is at best juvenile.

[TranCendenZ]

edmunmi: Are you saying that Barack Obama never engaged in pay-for-play? Do you have any idea how many boards Michelle Obama sat on and how many millions she made?

[Olatunje]

Are you sure, I thought she just got a paycheck like the rest of the working stiffs

[brianbozowski]

Sure, iIf you consider a $150,000 raise after your husband is elected to the US Senate "just a paycheck", and $50,000 just to sit on a corporation board as "supplemental income". Wake up.

[Olatunje]

She went to two Ivy League Universities. How much should a HARVARD attorney get paid? Do some checking and let me know. She was the head of the Department before she left the University of Chicago. She was probably underpaid being female and black!!!

[brianbozowski]

Nevermind her silver spoon education, focus on the position and duties. She was likely over paid and certainly unduly rewarded simply because they had access to a newly elected US Senator. The Obamas are as dirty as any Chicago bred politician, and over time they will be exposed. Why don't you do a little checking to find the truth - no need to get back to me on that.

[Olatunje]

RIGHT, YOU HATER YOU!

[brianbozowski]

If being truthful and seeking the truth makes me a "hater", then I accept that lable as an honor. Now, go back to sleep.

[edmunmi]

Obama has not and is not involved in any of this...dumb ass, get over it. Your republican bigots lost and for your side to talk about scumbags after the criminal activities of the Bush administration. The conservative movement is dead! Just a bunch of old white men, your time is up! Just keep watching FOX NEWS and stay angry forever

[hahawhat98]

I wouldn't be surprised if Obama was involved in this...Obama got lots of his money from terrorists like Will Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, and the Nation of Islam...Will Ayers even wrote both of Obama's books for him...

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

Jesse Jr. as big a scumbag as his father. Shake down thugs. I can't wait till the rabbit runs further down the hole and finds Obama.

[luvobamas]

Stop panting. Put your tonge back in your mouth. Obama is as clean as the driven snow.

[brianbozowski]

Not so fast, it's ain't over yet.  A lot of heads may roll on this one.

[rick5500]

That has got to be the most dim-witted statement that I have ever read. What polititian has ever been as pure as the driven snow. Get a life you obamaton!

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

That scumbag is far from clean...Blagojevich got it right when he used the term "Watergate". Threatened with 30 years he's gonna sing like a bird.

[muffin1559]

That has yellow urine stains through it as a dog walks through it! LOL!

[BigBird1017]

Jessie Sr. embezzled Rainbow Coalition funds to keep his mistress. While this was uncovered and became public knowledge, neither the main stream media nor the Feds pursued the story. Seeing this, both Jessie Jr. and Blagojevich must have thought they too were "Untouchables." Only Eliot Ness and Jessie Sr. have that title!
