Is Rod Blagojevich Guilty?

Is the now disgraced and publicly humiliated Governor of Illinois guilty or is he innocent? Well that depends on what we are talking about. As for the charges brought forth against him only time will tell on this. However all the evidence being leaked out from the investigation would more then likely prove a guilty decision from any sane jury. The case has not been brought to court yet.

SO what is Rod Blagojevich guilty of? At the moment he is guilty of being arrogant and self centered. A typical liberal elected official who is more concerned about himself then those he is supposed to be representing and providing for.

A product of the Chicago political machine. One that received notice under Mayor Daily and his antics of having dead vote for himself and others in his party. A practice that was not new at the time nor gone away at this time. But a practice that he made more famous.

For years American politics has been racked with scandal and intrigue. From the back room dealings and infighting to the blatant abuse and pass the buck leadership we have unfortunately grown to know and for some God for saken reason keep electing into office.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich is really a product of the current political system we have created. One that makes elected officials think that they are entitled to things that they are not. We hear and read about the perks. How lobbyist give vacations, trips , and other gifts to the elected officials in order to curry favor for their causes. Be the cause business, or some other legislation. So to find out that one official has decided to pull a stunt like auctioning off a U.S. Senate seat should really come as no surprise to the average informed tax payer and citizen. What should be surprising is that he did not think of E-BAY.

Today's younger politicians from the age of 65 on down, are of the entitlement generation. They think that the extra perks, pay, and gifts are entitled to them for being in office. They have forgotten that they have a job only at the whim of their constituents.

Is Gov. Blagojevich guilty then. Morally yes by all means. On criminal charges, not yet but more then likely yes. Is he also a victim? Yes by means of the Chicago corruption in politics. He has been a part of a political machine that has been corrupt and left to get worse over time. A good liberal lawyer should be able to make the case of his innocents on such.

By being a victim himself of the Chicago political scene he was only conducting business as usual. He was taught and learned that this is how Politics in America is done.



I AM WATCHING, YOU SHOULD BE TOO!!!!!
