St. Pete Times: Expel Senator Stevens
The St. Petersburg Times has a simple message for Ted Stevens' colleagues in the U.S. Senate: Expel him. The paper's editorial board sees no reason to wait:
Sen. Ted Stevens is nothing if not tenacious. Even after the 84-year-old Republican senior senator from Alaska was found guilty of seven felonies last month, he pressed his bid for re-election. This would have been a perfect opportunity for Alaskans to show Stevens the door. But benefiting from peculiar voter loyalty and his own tenacity, Stevens holds a small vote advantage in his race against Democrat Mark Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, and may well be re-elected.
Getting the final result could take weeks, but Stevens should not set foot in the Senate chamber again. As a public servant, Stevens violated the trust of his office, and the Senate should vote to expel him later this month. There is no need to wait for court appeals.
Stevens' claims that he has "not been convicted of anything yet'' is self-delusional and deceptive.
Expel him.
Expel Senator Stevens?
Sure, I think you should try expelling Stevens right AFTER you expel Jefferson, Kennedy, and every other Democrat that is corrupt..It's obvious to anybody with a brain that Stevens got set up. It's not hard to guess who's brainstorm that was.
The democrats want that majority so much, they are willing to do anything to get it.
You folks must think everybody in this country is on brain dope...Oh, that's right...that IS the democrap's next move, isn't it? Euthanize the elderly and disabled, murder the unborn and put everybody else on a "healthcare plan" that will mandate brain dope...control the population and take over...problem is, there won't be anybody left to pay taxes so you can collect your outrageous salary. Guess you didn't think far enough ahead.
Senator Ted Stevens
Hang in ther Senator Stevens, we know you are not guilty of anything. This whole ploy is the result Nancy Pelooooooooooooooooossssssssssssssy's lying coniving assault upon anything that is decent.
If I was in your place, "TED" I would almost consider retiring just so I wouldn't have to be around Nancy Piloooooooooooooooooooooooossssssy. I mean man!That bitch is UGLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLy.
But Senator Stevens, stay in there, we don't need another one of those Lying, deceiving Democrats in office.

Sen. " Convict" Stevens
How does a sitting US Senator get convicted of 14 felonies and keep his seat? He can't vote any longer in general elections given he is a convicted felon. Guys like Stevens are the problem with both parties-they think they are above the law the rest of us poor slobs have to live with day in and day out. The people of Alaska should demand that Sen. Stevens be stripped of his seat and sent to prison for his felonious behavior. it should be a no brainer for the Senate to strip him of his seat, if possible.
Sara Palin
Sarah Palin is a great American. Her distractors are miscreants, profligates and Demoncrats all the same. Sarah Palin has a higher IQ than every Dam Democrat in this world combined.
The Democratic Party is nothing more than an extension of the IRAN Goverment.

Comment on Sarah Palin
Yes,Sarah Palin may have a higher IQ than everyone in Alaska. But, most of the lower 48 see her for what she really is, a manipulative, power hungry, unintelligent politician. She has used her status as mayor and governor to acquire personal property and perks for her family and to force people to do her bidding. If that makes her a great American than America is in more trouble then we could ever imagine.
By the way, you spelled damn wrong
the Senate should vote to expel him later this month.......
......... and Larry Craig and Rep. Jefferson. DC has no balls and the "old Buddy" group mentality prevails.
Expelled
Since people are wanting to expel the Republicans, why don't we talk about that old devil Charlie Rangel who has evaded income tax on his rent controlled apartments. Why don' we talk about the debacle Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that was brought about by THIEVING DEMOCRATS (oh boo hoo everybody needs to own a home democrats)..I could go on forever about the lying deceitful democrats but the sad thing is most of the sheeple will continue following the evil democrats because that is where they will get their government handout at the expense of working Republicans. You people will reap what you have sown. Guaranteed! Liberalism is truly a evil mental disorder..
espelled
You are right on with your comments. Sad but true that the Irainians, and the terrorist were the ones that got OBAMA elected. He is corrupt, The Democrats are corrupt, and The good will have to suffer along with the Democrats.
EJN
your comment "espelled"
You really need to purchase a dictionary and check your spelling before you post a comment...
You also need to get some professional help because you are quite delusional.

Stevens and Palin
To all of the GOOD OLD BOYS IN WASHINGTON,
I would just like to take a minute to say a few words. I am a yankee by birth, a southerner by choice and an american by the GRACE OF GOD. And would also add a democrat. I think that everyone to some extent has skeletins in their closet who are in office. And if you take it personally well I am glad I struck a nerve. Gov. Palin in my eyes did only what she was told to do and in my opinion did not have much choice in the matter. I think she should keep anything that was purchased for her and her family. They were made to missrepresent themselves by the NRP a party that does not care about other spending sprees. As for the watchdogs I think they need to check their own closets. Now for rep. stevens. The man has done alot for his people and his state. I am sure if the watchdogs had to add all of the quote business lunches together they would probably total alot more then the amount in question. He who is WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE. Just remember when you point your finger at someone there is always three fingers pointing back at you. I ask that all of you put your petty differences aside and all work for the good of the people like you were elected to do.
