Numbers 1, 5, 6, and 8 are running for President. :smt009

[Pop]

Do these people think they are immune from ethics!!!! Duh!!!

[Kitty]

Are people willing to elect someone President who has questionable ethics?

[58ford]

They're politicians. You expected better?
You just have to pick one that's your kind of crooked.

[ComputerDude]

How Georgie-Boy escaped this list is mind-boggling.

How Georgie-Boy escaped this list is mind-boggling.
With the Clinton's & Kennedy's to compete with he was simply out criminaled from the get go.

I think they need to expand the list to the 50 governors and at least 533 out of the 535 members of Congress too. Top Ten be damned. Bring the whole lot up there.

[hendrixfreak70]

I also have to ask where Mr. Ted "I like to drink and drive and drowned women from time to time and I can get away with it because I am a Kennedy and did I mention I like to drink" Kennedy? Hiccup.

John McCain, U.S. Senator

“You’re working for the most honest man ( Ron Paul ) in Congress.”
As told to Kent Snyder, Phoenix, AZ, 1988.

Some on that list are quite eloquent and convincing to the undereducated...

My goodness! They left out the biggest one of all! Teddy(I sure can swim!) Kennedy!:smt118:evil:

[TRIXR4KIDS]

isn't it great that one day one of these WONDERFUL people will one day be out leader?!?!?!?!? (possibly)
Hopefully NO

I'd imagine most here don't remember the Kennedy/Chappaquiddick incident. Kennedy didn't even show up until the next couple of days, warm dry and with his attorney. He was no where to be found when they pulled Joann Kopechne's body out of Lake Chappaquiddick, if I remember correctly.
I'm just glad someone threatened to kill his arse if he ran for President, and he backed out. Course, with two brothers already assinated, he prolly figured the threat was worthy of his attention. Had he run and lived, he prolly would have been elected by sympathy votes for his brothers.:smt086

I don't remember it per se but I know about it... hence the previous posting about it. But we all pretty much agree that if they are a politician they are crooked.

:banghead: Drives me nuts that we keep sending the same ones back again and again. I mean, do you think Massachusetts is full of voters who don't give a fat rat's ass about character in the politicians they foist on the good people of the U.S.? We should declare war on that state.:smt118 Vermont too.

Im not so sure that 'we' do. Diebold voting machines yes. The people who are alive, not always. The people who vote from the grave? Perhaps. This will be the first time I have voted. I wanted Alan Keyes in 2000 but didnt register in time. At least it will go to change something!

I'm not as cynical as you. Close, but not quite.:smt023 I don't think diebold nor grave names can swing an election. Course, Lyndon Johnson was the standard by which parlor games, like Ballot Box Stuffing For Fun and Profit, Ballot Box. Ballot Box. Who's Got the Missing Ballot Box, and Deep Six the Ballot Box are measured. I still think he was in on Kennedy's assination.:smt105

[hendrixfreak70]

No doubt he was but I am sure the reasons for it in our opinions will differ.

Perk! The man was power hungry. He had people killed in Texas to get to the Senate. If you can ever get you're hands on a book called, "A Texan Looks at Lyndon," Read it. I loaned mine and it's long out of print now.

Where are all those Louisiana politicians?
