Yes, I Voted for the Corrupt Rod Blagojevich

I feel dirty, disgusted and used.

I went into the booth in 2006 and voted for Rod Blagojevich for my democratic governor and I defended him to folks around me who said he was corrupt and one individual even personally said, “He’s a weasel!”.

Well, I was wrong. The Governor was able to seduce me into voting for him despite all of the talk that he was frought with corruption even back then.

You may be thinking that I’m a straight democratic ticket voter and you’d be wrong in most cases, but in 2006, you would have been right. I was one of those pissed off Americans who were not happy with the way things were going and you were NOT going to get me to vote Republican.

I have indeed voted Republican before and I won’t rule it out in the future. If there is anything that I’ve learned from this “weasel” Blagojevich it’s that just because someone has a D or and R next to their title, it doesn’t make them one of the good guys.

The good guys are the ones that truly do their job with the people’s interest in mind.

Sidebar – I don’t like how everyone is ganging up on Chicago right now. How dare you. While Chicago has given us some corruption, there are some damn good folks up there working FOR the people. There’s no need to trash ALL politics that are going on in the windy city.
