Rod Blagojevich: True Illinois Gangster
|
Posted By: Christopher Donshale Sims on December 10, 2008 We talk about gangsters when it comes to Chicago's notorious gangs, the Black Stone Rangers or the Gangster Disciples, but we are overlooking Chicago's interesting and shady history when it comes to politics. Rod Blagojevich, the latest governor to face **** charges, represents the fourth governor in recent history that proves that these so-called gangsters do not compare to political giants and thugs of Illinois political history. Chicago/Illinois gangs do not compare to the power handled and decisions made that our past and present governors have used to control money, political favors and even ****. We all can remember Al Capone and how we ran an entire city and state - paying off politicians and police to do whatever he wanted. Sadly, our US Attorney General representative Fitzgerald stated that (Abraham) Lincoln would turn over in his grave. Another statement came from the party responsible for what will become a prosecution of our governor, "Illinois is one of the most corrupt states in America." We Illinois natives have turned away from truly prosecuting and paying attention to political thugs such as Blagojevich. We thought we were done when George Ryan was convicted, but that is not the case. We elect good looking and well kept men into office, without truly knowing who they are and their agendas. Blagojevich has been practicing Pay To Play politics since he passed the first budget of his administration - over five years ago. A lot of Illinois politicians have been weary of his contracts and way of handling business. Why did we not move towards prosecuting him years ago?? True gangsters keep on moving and plowing their way if they are not stopped. True of Al Capone. True of Rod Blagojevich. Maybe this is the ending of an era of gansterism as our beloved governor faces a certain trial in the days to come.

Brother Mozell, I hear you brother. Too bad that politics has this history behind it. We can't even be honest when representing the people! However, it's the ones who are all about 'me'. This is when it gets crazy and confusing. Blagojevich is being labeled as a sociopath. Indeed, he's been that self-centered. He'll have to pay for it, and I hope others will too.

Too quick to judge? are we? Ofari Hutchinson,not my favorite journalist was quick to call for Jesse Jr. to step down--(just another day inthe black against black hate world) now we are finding out that Jesse was cooperating with the Feds all along..Blagojevich..is crying foul..just watching the events unfold. Thanks for the brilliant analysis..your sis

My pleasure Marta! I don't know, we'll see what the results are soon. If Blagojevich is not guilty, then I will have to take back my comments.
