The real culture of corruption:
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. directed a major political fund-raiser to offer former Gov. Rod Blagojevich millions of dollars in campaign cash in return for an appointment to the U.S. Senate, sources said the fund-raiser has told federal authorities.
The allegation by Oak Brook businessman Raghuveer Nayak counters public statements made as recently as last week by Jackson that he never authorized any deal to attempt to buy the Senate seat…
This is Chicago politics – it is the way they work there because Chicago has been under one-party rule for decades, and the Ruling Class feels they both deserve power and will never be called to account. Obama rose out of this stew – and now we’re seeing what its really all about.
We have to keep hammering on this theme – the way the people in power look after themselves. They really are getting rich and famous on our dime. Remember – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has become a multi-millionaire even though he has less private sector work experience than the average 25 year old (in fact, only in four of the last 40 years has Reid worked in the private sector…and even in those years, he spent time running for office). There are too many people like that in DC – and while Republicans are well represented amongst these cretins, most of them have a D after their name.
We must clear out the muck – we must gain control over our government and put in to office people who will know they work for us. The fate of our nation is at stake, and we dare not fail in this task.
As for Jackson, he does have an opponent – a fine, young man, Isaac Hayes (no relation to the late singer). In fact, I can’t think of anything better than letting Mr. Hayes explain himself – here’s a video. Clearly not a polished politician – but, he’s sincere, he’s honest…and he’s one of us.
Now would be a good time to help him out.
