Sounds like bribery to me - throw all those involved in jail.

Jail is to good for this guy,but I can't say here what id do to make him pay..

Corruption on all sides of the aisle have killed America. It is on life support. only complete overthrow of the present system will fix it. Our mode of "democracy" ensures no democracy. We need a very different system.

It saddens me to see how quickly people try to turn this into a partisan issue, with all of the "if she was a democrat" non-sense. Don't you see that it is this kind of thinking (ignorance) that allows these politicians to get away with a lot of what they do? If she was a democrat, she would still be corrupt, period.

Believe it or not, the Republicans and Democrats are only two different sides to the same coin. They are all statists on a mission to divide. Like I've said a million times, both major parties only have superficial differences, differences on issues that are relatively unimportant, though emotional. This fools us into believing that there is at least some kind of oposition, when there is no organized opposition in this country.

Both the Democratic and Republican parties champion the elite, corporations and special interests, at the expense of the American people. As long as we continue to fall for their partisan illusion, this country will continue to decay and the elite will continue to benefit at the expense of the republic - you, me and the rest of the non-elite citizenry.

Corruption isn't a partisan issue.

I didn't read the article, due to the fact that I might trigger into a partisan response...I don't know if its R or D...simply put, if the person did something corrupt, they need to deal with Bubba for a few years..

Corruption is to be treated as a bipartisan smackfest in my opinion...be it your hero, or your nemesis

True. And of The Keating Five, 4 were Democrats.

What sticks in the craw, however, is that for three decades American voters have been subjected to the "holier (literally) than thou Democrat" image put out by the GOP. Vote for the GOP candidate because s/he is a Christian, implying beyond corruption.

A crook is a crook, a skunk is a skunk, no matter what stripe. I came to believe that politicians became less and less willing to cry Foul! on a fellow politician from the opposing party, because that would then air everyone's dirty laundry.

The dirty little secret is that corruption grew and took hold, regardless of protestations of patriotism or piety. Corrupting influences threaten this nation's survival. And those corrupting influences show no loyalty to a particular political side.
