Let’s get the term limits movement going again.
That would probably be the biggest step in curbing political corruption and taking the money out of it.

he is a pork king.
No-one will ever take that title from “Byrd brains” of West Va.

The sad part is that as much as we like to criticize Robert Byrd (West Virginia) for his pork prowess - Ted Stevens is every bit as bad.

No freaking doubt. I was 2 when he was elected, and I’m no spring chicken!!

Stevens is an example of all that’s wrong with the GOP. Here’s hoping he either declines to seek reelection or is defeated in the primary.Great point. Unfortunately, members of congress have become nothing more than pork getters for their state and political whores to lobbyists.
I feel we really need a system where each state's federal expenditures are tied 1:1 to how much each state adds to the federal treasury. That would eliminate a lot of the money grabbing.
We also have to stop voting for the republican just because he is not a democrat - in far too many cases, the party is just a label the guy picked and says nothing about the way he will govern.
Personally, I'm voting 3rd party in every election except for my representative - all others have shown that they are corrupt.

If he SAYS it is going to be a problem, it IS going to be a problem.
Usually when they say that, it means they are working on their excuses...
Everything I have heard about the guy indicates he is a pork king. I won’t decide until I look at the stuff in depth, something I just have never found the time to do.
He's a pork king alright. He plays stupid (whether it's his idiotic "internet tubes" comments or whatever), but in the end, he knows how to bring in the pork, which leads to the donations...

Ted Stevens’ lifetime ACU rating is 64.
