Republican Culture of Corruption - Alaska

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In the latest example of the culture of corruption engulfing Republicans in Washington, the Anchorage Daily News reported this weekend that Alaska Republican Senator Ted Stevens pushed through legislation creating a special fishery in the Aleutian Islands that would provide millions of dollars worth of pollock to Adak Fisheries, a company that his son was closely associated with. At the same time, his son, State Senator Ben Stevens, held a secret, undisclosed option that entitled him to one-fourth ownership of Adak Fisheries, a deal worth millions of dollars thanks to his father's pollock appropriations rider.


Republicans lie, Republicans cheat, Republicans steal, and we see it everywhere.

Texas, California, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Indiana, Connecticut, Alaska, New Hampshire and of course DC. Wherever you have a republican politician, it is a safe bet you have a crook.

It will continue until people wise up and vote the bastards out of office.
I don't have much faith in the intelligence of the American populace.
