Remember Ted Stevens? Yeah you remember the corrupt US Senator from Alaska that resigned last year after being convicted on seven counts of corruption. Well hold that thought. You see, it seems that the charges against Senator Stevens are about to be dropped. What's more they are about to be dropped by a Department of Justice that is led by the hyper-liberal Eric Holder. What does this mean? It means that from the very start the DOJ case against was fundamentally flawed, so much so that when Holder saw the case file he realized that the DOJ had to drop the charges.

 Now to be fair Holder needs to be commended for being a man of integrity and seeing to it that Stevens is treated fairly. But beyond Holders role in this something smells fishy. You see the corruption charges against Stevens just happened to perfectly coincide with his re-election bid in 2008. Do you think that is a coincidence? Of course not! Why did DOJ employees distort the facts and withhold information from their investigation in court? I mean Holder actually suggested that there was a problem with misconduct in the DOJ. What could motivate such misconduct? It couldn't be a partisan attack could it? Uh! Of course it was! And this is what has me simply outraged today!

You see the exoneration of Stevens will receive little to no news coverage in the major newspapers or in the big media but his prosecution was big news and was seen every night for weeks on every network (Fox included). And even if the media covered this story like they should it matters little because Stevens lost his re-election bid because of the shady nature of the DOJ case against him. In addition the overall reputation of the Republican Party was affected profoundly during the election cycle because of a barrage of stories claiming RNC members were corrupt. The Stevens story was pushed hard by the news media to drive home the perception that the Republican Party can't be trusted. This was quite clearly a partisan attack from some Democrats either in the DOJ or able to influence some in the DOJ. In the end I now have to question everything that the DOJ and the media purport to be true. It is quite clear to me that the DNC used the DOJ to make a power grab during the last election cycle. From the bogus charges against Sarah Palin in the Troopergate scandal to the Stevens corruption scandal the DNC has created controversy and scandal in order to destroy the careers of prominent Republican leaders so they can once again hold the reins of power. And it makes me sick!
