McCain’s problem is that he dislikes his own party even more than he dislikes the democrats. IMHO, he’s never had the support of any of the grassroots GOP organisations, and seem to disdain and dismiss them as either corrupt or stupid or dishonorable.

He may be a decent guy personally, but he does not understand that nobody votes for someone who is always criticising his own side. And those media and dems who praised him when he was the repub rebel, all voted for and supported his opponent Obama when it was crunch time.

I think we all realize now, a guy like this can never win.

Miss America: Are you on record saying that corruption knows no party when your party, the Democrats, were chortling in 2006 about a “culture of corruption” in the Republican party?

Or how about when they claimed that the Jack Abramoff lobbyist scandal was a “Republican scandal” when so many elelcted Dems also took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Abramoff’s clients and Harry Reid even provided favors in return?

Seems to me it’s an odd time for you to suggest that somehow both sides are guilty of this kind of thing.

And in case Fit Fit missed it, the DEMOCRATS in Louisiana have been notorious for corruption. Jindal (R) was just elected in 2007 to clean up the mess. There have only been two other Republican governors of that state since reconstruction.

Alaska is a lot like Chicago-everybody is dirty, but is the exception as far as Red states go. The corruption in Lousiana seems to be primarilly in New Orleans. It was blue for decades until recently. Are you really trying to blame that on the newly elected Reps?

Alaska and Louisiana have pretty bad reputations for corruption.

imissamerica, so you think the fact that the most crime ridden and corrupt states are blue is just a coincidence?

Obama claims to have risen above the sleaze and is now walking on top of it.

McCain is a name only Republican, but should know something that is obvious: This scandal isn’t going to go anywhere as far as Obama is concerned, so why should senators sully their own names as partisans?

Looks like old McCain is already jumping across the aisle doing the Dem’s work for them. Sheesh! With the MSM, McCain, and the Dem’s all in one camp, the Republicans don’t have a chance.

Palin is likely back home trying to figure out what she and McCain had in common.

There’s one thing on this story that hasn’t been really discussed yet and that is the methodology of how the “pay for play” money was always distributed to Blagojevich. He didn’t accept the graft and bribes hand over fist, because the IRS would have been all over that. He mainly took it in via campaign donations. Now if you note that Obama came up to power along with Rod, don’t you think he might have have picked up on the same strategy? If you were running the investigation of “Hot Rod” and picked up on this, wouldn’t that have sent up a red flag that maybe, just maybe, a closer look was due of Obama’s record $750 million taken in, who donated, and where that money was spent and who received it or perchance was bought with it?:

If I were the FBI, IRS, & FEC this would now be setting off some serious bell and whistle alarms. Maybe a look at his infomercial, “Greek Column” show, victory announcement party, and inaugural celebration expenditures, as well as, potential pay for play political donations by people who are members of his transition team, cabinet, and campaign staff, along with those who have been interacting financially with Gov. Rod over the years and going back to his state senate days. It’s also high time those 501Ks were audited. There is no way he can be squeaky clean coming out of that environment.
