Everyone seems to be concentraing on the politicians but let's not forget that there were also "respected religous leaders" involved. Make no mistake about it, these so called rabbis have sold their soul for the good ole mighty green just as much as the greedy politicians.

No, we don't need to put any extra/additional attention to it, but let's not over look it either. I don't play the PC game, I call it as I see them, let's not try to hide it under the rug because politicians were involved.

I keep reading that we voted for these crooks. It's not like people can actually vote for an honest, smart, qualified person when we go the polls.
They give us a choice of selecting the lesser evil, these politicians are pretty much all the same, pass the bucket, don't create waves, cover your behind and pick up your paycheck etc
If somebody actually has the balls and speaks up and goes against the grain, he/she will be villiefied by the allpowerful corporation and Media, as witnessed by the Elliot Spitzer saga. That guy was going to go after some very powerful people and he paid dearly for it.

pretty much anyone who is involved in politics is corrupt. so no matter who you vote for, they're probably corrupt. it doesn't matter if they're a democrat or republican or whatever, corruption has been around for as long as politics have been around. politics have been corrupt since our country was founded, and it exists in every corner of the globe.

I just don't see any use in complaining about it, I kind of just deal with it. Don't blame anyone except for the individuals who are corrupt, not the voters.

Bible says - "None shall enter the kingdom of heaven but through me"- Jesus Christ.
Rabbai believes - Jesus was neither the son of god or a savior of any kind.

Therefore was not going to heaven anyways.

I will say though for someone to be the cellmate of a brooklyn, black hat rabbai......that's cruel and unusual punishment! Oy!

Its not just the rabbis having all the fun.......lets not forget the pedifile priests who are molesting alter boys by the score and when discovered are quickly and silently shipped to other churches escaping justice only to molest again apparently with the consent of the church. Lets round them all up too along with those that knowingly covered up their crimes all these years.

Are you kidding.....Spitzer was among the biggest hypocrites there ever was......he was assailing johns and prostitutes from 9 to 5 and then chasing the same prostitutes from dusk till dawn !!!!
Your choices to vote for are what they are because no CEO with the brains to run a state, city or town wants to leave the salaries available for CEOs in private industry to play politics......that only leaves those that want a political office for their own personal gain !!!
