First, this isn't about anything except how the MEDIA reports political news. It is NOT about the ILL Senate's kangaroo court. How many times have we heard the the IL guv wanted to sell Barack's Senate seat "to the highest bidder." The words were dutifully echoed on TV, radio and in print. I heard the tape, you heard the tape. Did you hear him say anything about the highest bidder? They reported Jesse Jr was offered the seat for $5 million. The going price, according to the media chorus. I didn't hear that tape either. Did you? What I heard him complain about was "they" weren't offering him anything. He wasn't even consulted; he felt snubbed. Or, in Chgo political lingo, disrespected. He said it was his decision to make and it was "gold". He complained that they should give him something, anything, a "cushy job" for his wife, for instance. (I'm paraphrasing.) Do you see the difference? The media was repeating talking points written by the prosecutor, someone like a staff member on the Kennedy public relations dept or maybe Axlerod. The media had no other source from which they could all draw the same "facts" - $5 mil & highest bidder. I'll bet a dollar to a donut, the words "highest bidder" and "$5 million" never make it into the court room. I'll bet those words were faxed to them from a democratic operative that was pissed at him for not going along with the Party's program and appointing the person they had chosen, no questions asked. I could be wrong, but I'd put up my educated guess against their political propaganda any day of the week. Any takers?

Rich Martin Send email to [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I LOVE MY COUNTRY I HATE MY GOVT Personally, I think this debate is purely academic because Congress will not perform their duty under the Constitution. But we can't go to the next step until we exhaust every Constitutional solution. After that, we look at our God given rights contained in our Declaration of Independence. "The Congress…on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments…" Article V, USCON At the same time, academic exercises like this can serve secondary purposes. Just like last month we learned that a man could become president without proving he meets the minimum Constitutional standards to become president, we now know as a matter of fact, the Congress can also legally ignore the Constitution. e.g., "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, all be eligible to the office of President..." Article 2, Section 4, USCON The govt has trampled our precious constitution to death and has breached the contract with We the People that authorizes its very existence. By their own actions, or inactions, they have become a defacto outlaw govt. They have no standing! It's time we demand our state legislatures to form a new and less imperfect nation.
