Ten Most Corrupt Politicians of 2010 (feel free to add to the list)
Examiner.com ^ | December 17, 2010 | Jim Kouri

Posted on 12/27/2010 9:31:24 AM PST by khnyny

It's that time of the year when numerous organizations and news outlets publish or announce their "Best of..." or "Worst of..." or "Most important of..." or "Most popular of..." lists. Not to be outdone by the so-called elite media, below is a list from an industrious public-interest group whose sole mission is to investigate and prosecute government corruption wherever it is discovered. On Thursday, Judicial Watch released its 2010 list of Washington's “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” While there may be some surprises, readers will note that neither political party has a monopoly on political corruption. Special thanks to Judicial Watch's Jill Farrell for providing the Law Enforcement Examiner with a comprehensive list of men and women deserving of recognition for their corrupt ways or illegal activities.

The list, in alphabetical order, includes: Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Rahm Emanuel, Former Obama White House Chief of Staff, Senator John Ensign (R-NV), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL), President Barack Obama, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY), and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).

WHY is everyone afraid to speak of armed revolution?

Unless you have hundreds of thousands of like minded people in the streets with you an armed revolution will never happen.

The FED will WACO your ass so fast your head will spin if it's just you and a few hundred friends.

Eddie Bernice Johnson D-TX

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/082910dntexcongress.2c049bb.html

Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide’s two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers’ causes.

The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member’s district.

Johnson, a Democrat, denied any favoritism when asked about the scholarships last week. Two days later, she acknowledged in a statement released by her office that she had violated the rules but said she had done so “unknowingly” and would work with the foundation to “rectify the financial situation.”

Governor Jim Doyle (D) outgoing governor of Wisconsin.

He tried to renew a union labor contract after the election and two democrats that were also defeated voted against the scumbag governor and his gift to the union failed.

The Republicans are in control now in Wisconsin.

"No Harry Reid? What’s up with that?"

Harry paid the author to be taken of the list...

Actually, I’m a little hurt that John Conyers (Progressive-Detroit) and his entire family don’t comprise a large portion of this list.

All politicans to include the White House, there is LESS than a handful that are NOT CROOKS or dirty in some way. So that leaves 3 or maybe 4 and I question more than half of them.
