I'm not sure what to expect here.

I'm fairly sure that the person you heard about yesterday was someone else.

Obama Birth Certificate Challenge Turned Down By Supreme Court

That said, this Il. Gov. thing is fairly effed up to the nth degree. What a freaking moron.-jay

I am nobody · 12-09-2008, 03:13 PM

So what is that now, 5 of the last 9 Il. Governors have been arrested? There's something really wrong with that.

Ahh, I knew I was mixing up my news.

I'm from Illinois, and believe me this guy ahs always been effed up, this is just the first time anyone's heard of it.

**Crazyswordsman** · 12-09-2008, 08:30 PM

I don't think there's a governor in this country that hasn't effed up yet. -CSM

Perrin Aybara · 12-10-2008, 07:54 AM

^ Wow, exaggerate much?

I can think of plenty.

Anyway, this Rod guy is a complete moron.

The conservatives are trying to tie Obama to this, despite the fact that Obama wrote the law Rod broke. -CSM

**Valigarmander** · 12-10-2008, 06:23 PM

^ It's part of his cover, isn't it obvious?

It's funny that they would...especially since evidence shows that Obama was most likely not tied to this, with Blagojevich calling Obama a "motherf-er" and the whole thing about Obama giving him nothing but "appreciation" for appointing a seat.

I knew McCain should have won. Obama is barely "President Elect" and the $h!t's hitting the fan already. No one can say Bush didn't have issues but damn, dude can't wait to ruin his image.

Looks like pretty soon some Obama-voters wish they could "change" their minds.

I am nobody · 12-12-2008, 05:45 AM

^You realize there isn't a connection here, right? Blagojevich is just an idiot, as his 8% (lower now) approval rating shows.

That's... that's a joke post, right?

Just voicing my opinion, but I very highly doubt our government would be better off with McCain as president. Can you imagine all those conservatives who say crap without thinking first roaming Washington?

As I said, I'm only voicing my opinion.

So, if a Republican governor did the same thing when McCain had to empty his seat, it'd be McCain's fault, right? Even if McCain was cursed out by this person?

Or do only Democrats do bad things in your world?

Conservatives who say crap without thinking first have been in Washington for eight years now.

Truthfully, I think McCain could have done much better than Bush. He's far more level-headed than the majority of people who have been calling Washington their home these past two terms.

Uh, have you turned on the news or read anything on this? Obama's pretty clean in this. Blagojevich called him a mother ****er for only being "appreciative" of his support during the campaign.
