Yet, another corrupt republican.
The only two candidates in this presidential race that have actually been convicted of ethics violations, McCain/Palin, are rushing to have Stevens resign.
They must want him out of the news, out of sight?.

Sen Stevens represents a corrupt and broken political system. As one of the pork kings in the Senate he has sent billions of federal dollars to his home state. The system rewards individual politicians like Stevens according to how much of the federal pie they can get for their state at the expense other states. The more he gets the longer he stays in office and the more he can get. It creates a culture where moreo spending becomes the only solution. Stevens was very successful getting the money flowing back home, and no doubt the residents of Alaska are better off for it. Now that their cash cow has been convicted I wonder if they will be forced to go on a pork free diet. They still have a chance to re-elect him, but somehow I think his porky days are over. Poor Alaska, they might not get that bridge to nowhere after all.
If guilt by association is the logic behind Senator Obama and Wm Ayers. Then we can use the same logic with Sara Palin and Senator Stevens who had many meetings and most likely discussed quite a few things including but not limited to working the system.
Lori,
I think you need to get a job -- we are all tired of your nonsensical rantings.
Blah, whine, blah, whine, blah. You Republican posters are so tired. Thanks for the WORST President and Administration EVER. The sharpest blades in the drawer you are not.
Alaskans truly need to clean house. Young is as corrupt as Stevens, and Palin has been found unethical by a unanimous vote of a bipartisan committee representing the legislature. Young they can vote out. Palin? Impeachment?
Steven is just like the rest of the republican party thinking they can stael more than they can carry. palin telling Steven's to do the ethical thing and step down is like calling the kettle black. When is McCain going to learn that his "Diva" might not save him. Is he wins then we know the election is fixed. Is Palin going to have her dead beat husband run for than opening?
1. A convicted felon can stay on the ballot because it is too late to change the ballot. Just like a dead man can stay on the ballot in the same circumstances-as Nick Begich did.
2. Could "Newsweak" explain how Governor Palin counted on Bill Allen for campaign contributions in 2002 when she didn't run until 2006????:
Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" fella, may Ted Stevens rot in jail where he belongs.
After 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.
Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.
Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 TRILLION of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.
Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.
Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.
Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.
And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.
In case you think McCain is any different than Bush, watch this:

THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that
Stand up and hold them accountable
Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
Elect Obama Biden 2008
Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.

Alaska will still reelect. It's all a conspiracy by the liberal media and the liberal jury that convicted him. It wasn't a true jury of his peers! The majority of the juriors were people of color. How could they give him a fair verdict? It was a jury full of people of color that let OJ off, the first time!
hillj225: Let me try to understand you misguided post. You're insinuating that so-called JURORS of COLOR (whatever that means!) epoused a guilty verdict for "Teddy" because he was WHITE? You are putting to much sweetner in your coffee, EGG/AIR HEAD!!!! Now to the grammatical aspect of your "post". Jurors is spelled J U R O R S, DEMENTED ONE. Isn't it time for you to finnally graduate from the fifth grade?
Perhaps. But only because they could not find a dozen self-serving spawns of Satan that WOULD provide of jury of his peers.
Liberal media? Liberal jury? Racially biased jury? Are you THAT brainwashed? Please crawl back under the rock you came from.
I thing he's being facetious.
I sure HOPE Hillj225's being facetious!
Of course they'll reelect him. Bribery and corruption are a resume requirement for Republicans. Thieves only trust fellow thieves
Here's a video in which Obama discusses fiscal responsibility. Anyone who cares about the economy should see it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d4a6RNhCUo
On this web page, you can calculate the amount of your TAX RELIEF under Obama's plan (This tax calculator is for personal income, not for businesses. Remember that if you itemize, your tax cut will be higher than what the calculator shows. However, Obama's new 1040EZ allows people to get credit for some itemizations without having to fill out the long form and schedules.)
http://taxcut.barackobama.com/
You can get even more information on Obama's economic policies from the Blueprint for Change.
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/
Obama has 63 Nobel Laureates working on his policy team. They are developing a plan to push America back to the top. Who is responsible for McCain's planning? Americans would be shocked to find that Douglas Holtz-Eakin is the sole person responsible for planning McCain's policy for America's future. Holtz-Eakin is also McCain's economic advisor, filling two full time positions on McCain's team. How can one single man (an economist) be responsible for developing a viable technology plan for our future? Obama has an enormous pool of the most intelligent, talented men and women in America working for him. Soon, they will be working for US.
And let's not forget that the McCain campaign spent more on Palin's makeup artist than it did on it's foreign policy advisor. When you pay your makeup artist DOUBLE what you pay your foreign policy advisor, it is time to start examining your priorities.
You look just fine without makeup, John. And Sarah is young enough not to need any. So cut the crap, and start paying some good ECONOMIC ADVISORS so you can have a fiscal plan to present to America. We're in the middle of a huge global financial meltdown, and you are worried about hair and makeup? PLEASE start worrying about the middle class, John. Please.
Good. I'm tired of seeing so much federal tax money go to so little. Then they stick their finger in our eyes and dole out "dividend" checks to themselves every year. Palin keeps yapping about socialists. All she needs to do is look in the mirror to find one.
Poor Ted, he was not tried by a jury of his peers. Not a single mobster was impaneled.
