Default Ted Stevens conviction thrown out..

And the corruptocrat federal prosecutors are facing criminal charges
of their own.. The politics of personal destruction and winning
elections through bogus prosecution is finally biting them in the ass.
Hopefully those prosecutors have other ass problems in prison. Could
be this is the start of the criminal investigations of corruption and
cheating in the corruptocrat party. It would be great to see Pelosi,
Reid, Frank, Dodd, Kerry and the rest who sold out our economy face
prison terms, although Frank might just enjoy the close personal
contact with young prison inmates...

If you are like me, you have a hard time keeping track of all of the

a man with his car after blowing through a stopsign at a high rate of
speed.

We have no rights anymore. And it's just as much one party's fault as
it is the other. The trouble is, some people take a given "right" to
mean they can do whatever to hell they want!

Ever see the movie "Videodrome"?
They were taking over through the TV sets.
Melted your brains, basically.
I suspect that site you posted is the internet version, so I won't go
there until I make my hat. Out of aluminum foil now.
The only answer I see is the Tea Parties.
But I just heard Neil Cavuto on Fox saying the Tea Parties are being
infiltrated. By Acorn.
Things are going to hell in a hand basket real fast.
Time to buy more guns and stock up on ammo.
Maybe food too.
Ever see the movie "Tremors"?
Burt Gummer saved the day with his armory.
Blew them worms clear back to hell.
Reba McEntrye played his wife, Heather.
That .50 cal was a mean piece, but Reba had a sweet matched set of
38's. But that could be an exaggeration.
Good flick.

You are a funny man.

Just because Ted Stevens was convicted by less than honorable
prosecutors doesn't mean he wasn't guilty as hell -- and everyone
knows he was and is.

You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed
this up so it could be overturned later.

Why do you say that?
Last I heard guilt is determined by evidence and a verdict.
The feds withheld exculpatory evidence.
I don't like Stevens, but he seems no different than most of the pols.
Which is why I don't like him.
If the feds had a good case, they'd prosecute.

More twilight zone stuff. Tsk tsk.
