Senator Stevens convicted, but still running for seat!

If there is any more need of the lack of statesmanship from politicians, it is from the Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens (AK-R) who was convicted by a federal jury on 7 counts of corruptions, etc, but still has the audacity to go back to Alaska and ask the voters to put him back into office.

The Alaskan GOP including Gov. Sarah Palin along with Senator McCain are calling for Stevens to resign now before the election even though it would mean that the Democratic candidate would win the Republican seat. So Senator Stevens shows that he has no shame, ethics, or integrity while the Republic candidates for President & VP are asking for him to resign even though it might mean that the US Senate increases its Democratic majority.

I don't think you would see the same thing from the Democrats where even after President Clinton was shown to have lied directly to the US public, was allowed to stay in office and even til today is the Democratic Party's Ronald Reagan.

So there is plenty of bad manners and lack of ethics to go around on both sides, so what do I say?

A POX on BOTH YOUR HOUSES (or PARTIES in this issue)!

We really need to get both parties to reform especially the Republicans who have gone the way of the Democrats which you expect such behavior from given all their bad episodes, scandals, and "forgiving passes" from the main stream media. All this just lowers the bar for all politicians to a point where the voters need to completely eliminate both of these parties of losers.

However, the chance of this being done in the US today? Well, in statistics we call this an epsilon number. [Hint: an extremely small, small number, but not exactly zero.]
