(62,325 posts)If he was then there is not a single politician in this country who is not corrupt. Siegelman was one of the good politicians. He QUESTIONED the 2000 election results and that put him on Karl Rove's hit list. They never stopped trying to 'get him'. Just like Christie and his gang of Republican thugs went after Democrats who refused to endorse him. I see all the outrage over what Christie's people did. But what they did pales to what Rove did to Siegleman, even YOU fell for it apparently. I remember when Siegelman had the courage to speak out about the 2000 election when he was elected as Governor. It gave me hope at the time, that a Democrat was not afraid of Bush et al. How naive we were back then, actually believing that Dems would be the ones to end the REAL corruption, the War Crimes, the lies the secret governments etc.
I still remember Siegelman at that time and how popular he was among Democrats for his courage and decency compared to the dark, corrupt administration that had grabbed power. How quickly we forget. Some of us do not though.
A man has lost his freedom for ONE REASON, he crossed Karl Rove.
Rove will never be held accountable for his crimes because there are not many like Siegelman or the Mayor of Fort Lee who have the guts to speak out when it is needed. Most cave and collaborate and that is why people have given up hope for this country.
