Cases like THIS should be the ONLY election “issue” Americans should be concerned about.

While the rest of you idiots argue among yourselves over whether Democrats or Republicans are better, the whole lot of them are running a crime syndicate that puts the Gottis to shame.

Wake up, Americans. There is no Savior for us in this election. The “lesser evil” is the one who hides his or her crimes better. Eloquent speeches do nothing but blind you from the facts.

They’re all corrupt, and will ALWAYS be corrupt as long as we are all divided playing the idiotic “liberal vs conservative vs democrat vs republican” charade.

Nothing but sheep in this country.

Sad, but not unusual. We need to root out corruption, or Americans will lose the little faith we have left in this system.

I propose that any elected official convicted of corruption should face a penalty five fold greater than a private sector person.

Hopefully, that will prevent these parasites from pursuing office in the first place.

1. Better to tell the truth than lie. Punishment here will far exceed the crime.
2. Please tell me how the text messages, which are completely private, got released? Hummm!!!

I get people lie when confronted with the idea of their wives finding out they cheated. I understand that but my displeasure with this particular person is the fact that even in the face of overwhelming evidence he still denies it. If someone realizes the cats out of the bag and appologizes I am more forgiving, we all make mistakes.
The reason i hope he does jail time is he refuses to realize and admit he did something wrong. The inability to know right from wrong is a pyschopathic character trait and so being said, i dont think we need someone like that running loose. If he sticks to this, “it wasnt me, i didnt do it” story i hope he gets the max prison sentence he can get.
If he comes clean and proves he knows right from wrong then some community service would be more than enough to satisfy his debt to society.
The little bit of money he might pay in alimony for being a cheating husband or the millions a civil suit against him by the fired whistleblowers would cost him pales to the enormity of 50-60 years in prison.

Goodbye Kwame! Get out now while the gettin’s good.

Americans are used to policitians lying to us…don’t we just expect it now? We went to war over weapons of mass destruction? We were to be greated as liberators? The oil would pay for the war? The war would cost us 60 Billion at most? and just to play on the other side of the isle, “I did not have sex with that woman? Politicians are in it to line their own pockets and that of their friends. Don’t under estimate the stupidity of the voting public as we were the ones who reelected George W Bush. Kilpatrick is no different that the ones who have been running the white house, he just got his text messages published. I wonder why all those e-mails were deleted from the white house archives…hmmm….?

As a resident of Michigan I think it is about time Kilpatrick has been taken to court, and should resign at this point.

I have been utterly disgusted as a student since I entered college to find out originally he had rented/bought Cadillac Escalades with tax payer money just a few years ago and nothing happened.

Now there is this scandal, I think it is time to finally get this over with. He should have resigned with honor the first time or have been voted out of office but I have no clue what happened. Whether it was ignorance or something else I have no clue, my point is not to insult the citizens of Detroit.

But it is silly that they have kept this obviously corrupt individual in office, if it is about race, there are plenty of illegible black politicians who would be willing to take up his post and actually do the job well.

I think that issues such as this should be never come to fruition…
The mayor’s personal life is personal. These days everyone wants
to know whats going on is someones bedroom, and when they cant
find out on their own…they employ tactical efforts to get what they can to either destroy or ruin an individual. From what Ive seen the prosecutor seems a little bit too angry, as if she wanted to be the one involved and was overlooked… A witchhunt is what this seems to be,
sure he may have had a few errors in judgement, but years in prison seems a little harsh….and where is his accomplice?? Why hasnt the media been scouring her home for even more steamy soap opera stories…

Anyone who believes a SINGLE word a politican says is an absolute idiot. Anyone who believes there is a difference between a Republican or Democrate politican is dumber than the person who believes the word of a politican. Lastly, the dumbest of all three is the person that believes Democrates are for the poor and working poor. Both parties are in it for the money and the poor doesn’t have any, only a vote which they lie for.

Finally I got to read an actual intelligent comment on a subject on here or any other board for that matter. To many people are focused on Liberal-Republican-Democratic views and candidates, try for once FOCUSING ON THE BEST LIAR/SHEEP in wolf clothing and vote for them. Enough about race/religion and find one honest politician to run and the world would be a better place. PROBLEM is, there are no such things as honest politicians anymore…… Pick one and pray you made a wise decision…

They’re not ALL corrupt, the same way not ALL plumbers or lawyers are corrupt. Some are some arent. Yours is even wose “binary” thinking than liberal vs. conservative….

Rick,

He was using a cell phone that was paid for by taxpayer dollars to send her some 14,000 plus text messages. (When was this guy doing any work?) When you hold “public office” every medium you use is subject to FOIA.

Try to send 20 text messages and then you will appreciate this guy sending her 14k.
