Post-Dispatch should cover ACORN scandal

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I’m a bit disappointed, but sadly not surprised by the Post Dispatch’s lack of coverage over the ACORN scandal that is brewing. Forget about the little fact that they are under indictment in several states, and have actually been convicted…

Smith’s apology is welcome

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

In response to the recent letter “Smith: Poster boy for repentance”. You accuse the Post of giving Mr. Smith a forum to express himself. Did it ever occur that other fallen politicians may not have taken the time to write…

Jeff Smith: Poor judgment, naivete and hubris

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I received and read the mailer about Russ Carnahan during the 2004 Democratic Congressional primary campaign from an unacknowledged source. Assuming the content was fully accurate without exaggeration or hyperbole I cannot understand why Jeff Smith did not want to…

Smith’s fall may bring a few politicians back to reality

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
       The editorial, “The Veniality in Jeff Smith’s Fall,”   has to be one of the Post-Dispatch’s finest.  At last, we read some genuine Pulitzer material.  In a sense, what has transpired recently should come as no surprise.  His willingness to use…

We could use some digging, too

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I’ve been reading about the problems that politicians are having in England. Cheating on expenses, using government facilities to excess and lying about it. Is it possible that we could borrow the people who made this public and have them…

The best money can buy

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I don’t understand the flap surrounding Roland Burris. After all, he’s the best senator that money can buy.

Corruption is alive, well and flourishing in Illinois

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

   It appears that corruption is alive, well, and flourishing in Illinois.  Legislators rejected legalizing video poker machines for over 20 years.  Then last week, legislation was introduced and passed in both the Senate and House in a little over 24…

It should be simple to get corrupt politicians out of office

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I’m amazed. Illinois politics are a disgrace to the United States, and Sen. Burris wants to add to that disgrace. He appears to have been untruthful about his dealings with the governor of Illinois and refuses to resign in light…

Because we hold senators to a higher standard, Burris should go

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

On February 16, the Post-Dispatch printed”Burris Under Fire over Affidavit”.
It should be obvious to every American with common sense that U.S. Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) lied. Roland Burris testified under oath he had no contact with any of former Illinois…

The costs of greed are many

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Americans have had our wages stagnated for 25+ years now. We have been able to get by, in great part, by the cheap products that have been imported from the developing countries around the world. We have gotten to reap…
