There is a huge difference. Your Republican masters have made our entire political system one where feudal overlords with billions in the bank determine who you get to vote for.
Pulease as if dems dont have there own feudal overlords lol
p.s. Im not a republican and dont play the game of voting. I dont need a master.
Hastert was just another of the neoconservative bag boys. I remember a footnote in the Chicago Tribune right before he stepped down, he used his influence as Speaker of the House to get a Federal highway constructed across northern Illinois over land that he had recently purchased, and then resold to the Federal govt. for millions in profit. And this was just a footnote in the paper. I remember thinking this guy was as crooked as the other Republicans, little did I know he was this brazen.
It took until post #28 until someone tried to turn this into an anti-R thing. I guess everyone else was smart enough to go there, given the Blagos, Rezkos, etc. that litter Illinois political history. Everyone until post #28. That shows remarkable restraint and progress for CD posters.

And stupid. Everyone knows you don't take withdrawals over 10k.
Yeah that was how they got Elliot Spitzer. The feds thought that he was involved in corruption because of his cash withdrawals. Don't these guys read the newspapers?
Sorry--what does this have to do with Dennis Hastert? Oh wait, I get it. When Republicans screw up, try to divert with the Clintons and maybe someone will fall for it. Too funny.
Same thing it has to do with Senator Menendez and Lois Leaner.
Criminality is the US has become more about who you **** off than what you did.
I've said before that I don't think Illinois pols are any more crooked than pols from any other state, but boy, do they get caught a lot more (seemingly).
the irony is that Harry Reid can stand on the floor and lie to the American people, admit it and no repercussions... the media turned a blind eye and there is no legal recourse. This is what the media is supposed to shoine its bright light on! Someone wake the sleeping gurd dog..please!
Something is terribly wrong......and it begins with the media

"Fall for it?" Hillary ought to be doing time. Martha Stewart was put in jail for less than what Hilary is guilty of.

That's a deflection from the topic. Politicians lie for living, but that is different than committing crimes. Hastert's crime could be so serious that he will never be a free man again.

What do you believe his crime was?
