Sen. Ted Stevens on his Re-Election Chances

[grazon]

Looks like you have a reason to smile!

Come Jan. 20th Techno Ted is out of office!!!

[Joe402]

lmao he might be re-elected.

Alaska what the hell?

[richmarkel]

This guy got re-elected. Is something in the water in Alaska? They elected a felon. And the right complains about Bill Clinton. What a friggin' joke!!!

[grazon]

The polls show Alaska turning deep blue.

[alaskayurtmama]

I'm an Alaskan and will NOT NOT NOT be voting for this arrogant scary man.

[neverlookback75]

What a douche. I just want to deck him everytime I see him.

[oppesdaman]

How do you run an office from prison?

[etherealboy]

Even if he were elected again, he is a CONVICTED FELON. When someone is a convicted felon they lose their right to vote, so then how is he to vote on the floor of the senate?

[agentvirgo]

He'll use the Force. "You will elect me again or I will show you the ways of pain!"

[latentsun]

Take Sarah with you.

[TACOHTP]

Well now Ted is a saint compared to Dick, George, Carl, Rice, Mukasey, Gonzales, Ashcroft, Chertoff, Paulson, Rove, McClellan, Rumsfeld, and that is the tip of the list. How on earth can we allow these others to walk free and anyone even think of casting the stones at Ted Stevens? And on top of that we have opinions like Rush and Bill-o spewing the most racist hatred their minds can conceive. Makes one question what is in their family tree.

[nkbosna21]

I honestly think the worst punishment for him would be community service. He's so arrogant that I think nothing would humiliate him more than to have to pick up trash on the side of 295 in Washington for 100 hours of his life.

Any information on whether he screamed "NO!" when the verdict was read?

[GretchenDawntreader]

Alaskans love him for being corrupt. He's probably got a ton of dirt on everyone in the state.

[windham666]

ted could rob a bank in broad daylight an still get elected, by my fellow alaskan psychos.

[gamer5793]

bush will swoop on in with the pardon

[joeljohnwilliams999]

Can a 7 time convicted felon realy run for election from jail and win?

This should be fun to watch... really...

[FalseFlagAvenger]

eincali: I hate this guy, I'm trying to address all this nonsense that I'm seeing in which people are saying "What's the big deal? It was only a quarter mil" and "But he's such a dear old man."

I'm with you...just trying to drop some knowledge to the sheep who won't accept corruption when it's staring them in the face.

[PowerhousePaluch]

He is for Alakska and all Alaskans helping him and his family. My Hero.

[tracer740]

Sounds like this repub crook might be on the Secession Activist party same as Palin's husband Tad, or is it Trek, ... or Twig, whatever, he only gonna tell the 'Alaskans'!

Hoe do ya tell when a Repub is lyin'?

[jeffzalonka]

you know that bush will pardon him before he leaves so hes not worried.

[Plutonwolf]

Sara Palins hero and mentor

[nbwulf]

The crabby old man from the north is done.

[FalseFlagAvenger]

He's probably a nice guy. And compared to the corrupt people of our government, he's undoubtedly small potatoes.

But the house of cards has to start falling somewhere...

[eincali]

Yea, small potatoes with an ILLEGAL $250,000.00 renovation to his home.

They are ALL corrupt.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[acolyte12]

Prison: it's a series of cubes.

[MattLB19]

that's the best comment i've read on here all day.

[onenewshoe]

This guilty shit is an arrogant asshole who is good friends with another asshole, the mentally failin' Palin.

[slimydick23]

He's so charming. Begich doesn't have a chance against him.

Most voting Alaskans are anarchists and they would vote Stevens into another term just to give a big F.U. to the lower 48.

[hellshade2]

i'm interested in what he's gonna tell alaska exactly, that he was framed? it was a witchhunt?

what an arrogant prick. come on stevens take it like a man and resign....

[marniespeaks]

Alaska should secede set an example for the rest of the country

[grazon]

He was behind in the polls BEFORE the conviction.

[sampsonoff]

these people are retarded...in complete denial

[iamjackscolin]

scumbag

a series of tubes, my ass

[Boondockflyfish]

Senator Ted Stevens can't even vote in this upcoming elections.......felons aren't allowed to vote

[johnher1982]

and run for senate!

[crimsong19]

He can still serve, but the Senate can remove him with a 2/3 vote.

[jaim12005]

they should...if he gets elected

[johnher1982]

but how could he when he's spending time in jail? lol. this will be fun to watch! lol.

[Plutonwolf]

Vote Republican, it'll take the criminals off the streets and put them where you can keep an eye on them.

And this is the party that hyperventilated itself into a coma over sexy pants Clinton getting a blow job? What a thundering herd of hypocritical scuzz bags. :-P''''

[crimsong19]

If McCain is calling for Stevens to step down, what's Palin doing about it, see as she was good friends with Stevens?

[SYNICtheAtheist]

Last i heard she's saying he was part of the corruption she was fighting but had no comment about asking him to step down and she has no comment if she's going to vote for him or not.

[crimsong19]

So she was originally friendly with him, now she's turned on him? Way to back stab, Palin.

[baseballnolie34]

I dislike this guy - he's a crook, a liar, and a cheat. But somehow, hearing his voice crack still makes me feel sorry for him.

... Not that it would stop me from burying him with the book on this one. Corrupt asshole.

[Integraalhelm]

Palin was pallin' around with this crook.

[dudev]

She was calling him Daddy while getting spanked.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

[TeleShaman]

If we're going to nominate Felons, how bout Martha Stewart LOL!

[sazoulai]

I love watching corrupt bastards fail miserably!!!

[selfmadetool]

Come on, sazoulai. It wasn't like Senator Stevens was out dealing drugs to children or something. He is an old man and he has a huge family. Serving in the senate is probably what has been keeping him alive these past few years.

[sazoulai]

So does that excuse him from selling influence and legislating in favor of all these companies that were bribing him?

In my opinion that is worse than dealing drugs because it harms all Americans and it makes us lose faith in government.

[selfmadetool]

No, sir, it doesn't excuse him. He should be fined, with interest, and lose his seat. He's not a threat to society and jail should be reserved for people committing 'real' crimes.

Regarding faith, people should have more faith in doing what is necessary to put themselves in a better situation, as opposed to government.

If everybody in the senate went to jail for taking a bribe, regardless of how small, I genuinely believe there wouldn't be much of a senate left.

[johnher1982]

That is not a real crime? Come on, people whose not a senate spend time in jail for this kind of a crime and you don't feel like he should spend time in jail? Come on, he's no better then us average Joe's!

Let's let him get gang rape in jail. He deserve it! We don't need corruption in our government.

[jaim12005]

lol agreed..I am sick of these guys getting a pat on the wrist.

Let them get a slap on the ass in jail and they will lose that smug attitude.

They insult the intelligence of all voters when they actually think they can use us to get to power only to abuse it for thier personal agends. I am sick of it.

[johnher1982]

lol....slap in the ass it will, i hope. lol.

[zentaaki]

VOTE CHARLES MANSON!
