People knew he was crooked before he was first elected. It's just that demotards are stupid.
i couldn't remember what her big tagline was until i watched that (which wasn't in there) ...
WHAT WAS HE THINKING? no doubt, judy. no doubt.

That's not entirely true. He was a backbench Congressman who ran on reform after Ryan, and had no well-known history of corruption--at least nothing extraordinary in Illinois. Don't believe me, look it up for yourself. Research can be your friend if only you would let it. And no, I didn't vote for him.

You could at least come up with your own childish insult instead of relying on the work of others. Demotards? Really? That was fresh maybe 10 years ago. What's next: DemocRATS?
The sad thing of holding Topinka up as a paragon is that she put the agency deposits into state banks up for sale when she was Treasurer.
See, the Treasurer maintains what banks hold state agency deposits. It was almost a joke among bank executives at the time. If you wanted to be considered - just considered - you had to come forth with no less than $50,000 to Topinka's campaign and $50,000 to the State Republican Party. From there, she would reward agency deposits to the banks with the highest contributions to the lowest and when she ran out, you were among the lowest bidders.
It did help to have former GOP office holders on your board of directors, too.
So, to those who think this is a Democratic-only thing, remember the Ryan/Topinka days. What brought Ryan down is the fact he was caught. Topinka was and is as dirty as Blagojevich.
The system is broken and you control the system.
Malitda, maybe open your eyes more. It was fairly obvious the guy was a crook, but probably like most dems you see no wrong when you want to.
Oh, and you mean someone who talked about "reform" is a liar? Next you will tell me that someone who talks about "change" is really about more of the same.
If the shoe fits, wear it demotard.

Demotard... sheesh. What are you, seven? Making up names for people/things you don't like went out with putting a playing card in the spokes of you bike. I bet you think Blagojevich has cooties too, right?
uknowbetter = uknowbedwetter. Nyah nyah...
but probably like most dems you see no wrong when you want to.
So it's "dems" who voted in Ryan, correct?
