And keep looking it up until you find someone that agrees with you or you can spin to seem to agree with you. I can find data or a poll to back up any subject I want. It doesn't make it correct just what I think.

A poll to back up whether or not someone was indicted by a grand jury?  What a douche.   :rolleyes:

oh wait, maybe it's me. I'm on my cell and it looks like "Ime". If you used the strike out, then I can't see it. Sorry. :biggrin:

It's not that...check your correction ;D  If you're going to correct someone, then you may want to be sure that you don't have typos. :razz:
Ah yes, I will admit to being a bit dyslexic at times but then I don't go around correcting everyone's grammar and spelling like Ex does either.  :razz:

I'd say you had your share of being corrected then.  My 8th grade science teacher was a stickler for correct pronunciation and spelling.  If you spelled something wrong or pronounced it wrong you wrote it correctly 500 to 1000 times.

JUNEAU, Alaska -- Alaska lawmakers want the U.S. government to apologize to former Sen. Ted Stevens, whose corruption conviction was dismissed this week by a federal judge.

Stevens was convicted by a federal jury of lying on Senate disclosure forms for not revealing gifts. The judge who threw out the conviction on Tuesday also ordered a criminal investigation into prosecutors who worked on the case.

The Alaska House passed a resolution Wednesday calling for the apology to Stevens, who was once the Senate's longest-serving Republican. He lost his seat in November to Democrat Mark Begich just days after the jury conviction.

The resolution will be sent to President Obama. It calls for the government to give Stevens permission to sue the Justice Department for redress.



Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!

What a dick head Ex: If you go back and read all the news articles it show that all charges have been dropped and there will be no more charges. They got what they wanted which was a Democrat elected to congress.

Must we repeat that it was the Bush DOJ that indicted Stevens?

So I guess you're ok with a United States Senator accepting a quarter of a million dollars worth of home renovations (the evidence withheld only said that the renovations were worth less, not that they didn't occur) from an oil company who has business before Federal government as long as he's a Republican, huh?  Real nice 'christian' morals there, babe; you have zero integrity in my book.

Unlike you, I couldn't give a crap which party any of these idiots belongs to; if they're taking bribes (which Stevens clearly was) to vote in favor of something other than the interests of their constituents, they should go to jail.  Your defense of this man only shows that you are more interested in your bullshit partisan politics than you are in the country itself...typical neocon.

THAT does not mean they were NOT of democrat influence....Bush did NOT replace several DOJ prosecutors....many were left over from the Clinton Admin...

The bottom line for me is.....Stevens has a history of corruption....even Palin was NOT a fan of his....and though I rarely agree with EX, I couldn't give a crap which party any of these idiots belongs to..they should go to jail...had Stevens been running an honest tenure....then this would NOT even be a story.

but, I also do not discount the fact that Politics ALSO played a role in keeping Stevens out of the Senate...and those DOJ's prosecutors ARE being investigated....

I willing to bet you that this case wasn't prosecuted without the express permission of Bush's Attorney General.

you may be right...but that does not change things....what right would Bush's Attorney General have to NOT allow corruption charges on ANYONE.....corruption charges are corruption charges...He is doing his job.
