Stevens proclaims his innocence!! He can now join O.J. Simpson in the prison for the wrongly convicted.

So.. is it fair to say that Palin's political career was launched from a felon's living room? I'm just saying… one good turn deserves another

The real question is: Is there anyone in the Senate that isn't guilty of corruption in some way? In either party? For every one we catch there are probably five more that we never know about.

you know what? who cares about D.C. or this election when rebelling could be sooooooo much more fun. Whose with me?

Is this just the way that Alaska politicians respond in general when they get caught doing something? Palin gets caught, her response is "nu-uh", Stevens gets caught, his response is "innocent"? They're both jesters, right? They were cooked up as part of the writer's strike or something to get people to stay tuned in and entertained, right?

yeah, another nut job that doesn't know how many houses he has. come on,everybody has their house renovated inside and out and says " I didn't know they did that!" obama/biden 08

Republican John McCain said Sunday that one-third of the $150,000 that the GOP spent on clothing and accessories for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and her family, "is given back."
ONE WORD……………..NASTY and THIS FOOLS NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a dirty old CROOK.

However, judging from who the Alaskans elected "Governor", they'll probably keep him in office.

SCUM.

Another example of how politicians have failed miserably.

Hopefully, McCain,73, will retire now.

Even on his way to the slammer this idiot is still saying he's notguilty.Do you know who is next? The Alaska Govenor—–she must be very uneasy about all the freebies she took to build her mansion.

"I will fight this unjust verdict with every ounce of energy I have," the 84-year-old Stevens…"

dont waste your final, shameful days, dude, you are as innocent as karl rove, steve schmidt and the rest of the evil cabal!!!! stock up on marshmallows, creep, cuz you guys gots some REALLY hot days in yoru futures!!!!

His hand has been out since 1968. Typical Republican–rich is never rich enough!

Palin worked on his PAC committee, bet he taught her all he knows abuot ABUSE OF POWER

Like Palin!!

SURE, You are!!!!

Someone needs to tell the good Senator that there is a difference between "I am innocent" and "I did not think I was going to get caught."

Sure, Sen. Stevens you are innocent just like Palin is in troopergated. I hope she gets what you got.

You forgot to say: "I am not a crook!" Hahahahaha

Sure Ted.

You just came home one day and your house was twice as big as it was when I left and then you forgot to ask how the 100s of thousands of dollars were going to be paid out.

Happens all the time.

Enjoy your stay in federal prison. You deserve it.

After seeing and hearing Palin for the upteenth time, I'm finally fed up. She's a fool who has a big mouth and nothing to say except to bash Obama. She says nothing concerning our country and the disaster we're in.
OBAMA*BIDEN

Ha-ha.

We're all INNOCENTS 'til WE ARE FOUND GUILTY!!!!! Stevens.
YOU ABUSED YOUR POWERS you have to pay and suffer the consequences! That is the law THAT EVERY AMERICAN has to RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!

Another Republican abuser!!!!!!!!!

One less republican seat to worry about and to capture. I do not think Alaskians can elect a convict. The repubs are doomed next week Nov 4th. They are going down everywhere as the people will show them their frustration and vote for any democrats they can find.

Landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.

Reminds me of President Nixon's statement, 'I am not a crook'!

Of course you are

Think Craig, Foley, Libby, Abramholf, Stevens…Palin… What kind of CRAZY people can vote for that kind of crap and call themselves a "REAL" American?

oh ya, stevens is a crook.

Apparently not. You were tried, judged by a jury of your peers, and found guilty on all counts. End of story.

tell that to BUSH idiot there are alot of you we need to kick out

After watching the movie recount, I now understand that voting in America is a 2 fold process. First, vote. Second, make sure the republicans haven't taking you off the voter registration list because your name is similar to some other guys.

Only in the states do you have republicans fraudsters in control of the voting process. How is this possible. I think voting in 3rd world countries is more organized.

Sadly, the way Senate rules and practices go, he could – if reelected – remain as a Senator, unless the ethics committee decides to oust him, something they haven't shown any great enthusiasm to do.

The ethics in this country have gone down the toilet.

so was oj

Stevens says he is innocent. Well he has been convicted for lying so I don't trust his word. Another seat picked up by dems in the senate. close to a 60 majority.

I am truly sick of this "there must be something in the water in Alaska" nonsense. I do believeStevens and Palin to be corrupt and should be booted. My boyfriend lived in Alaska when he was in the military and it's like nothing else. It's a beautiful place with great people. Please remember that the people of Alaska are the victims of a corrupt political system. But it happens everywhere. We really need some more power over our own government.

Typical Repub. When is this going to stop?

Looks like the GOP just can't get a break this year.

Its sad to see a politician from either side be found guilty of corruption.

Sen. Stevens, a warning to you and all the other Republicans, be careful whom you slander, attack and LIE about, because there IS KARMA, there IS Justice!

What goes around comes around!

This Means That Sarah Palin Pals Around With Felons!

Of course he's innocent, every politician from Alaska is innocent even after they've been proven guilty, just ask Gov. Palin…

Get out and vote America. Barack needs us now, just as much as we need him!! Barack the Vote!!

Obama/Biden '08

hahaha…very sad, but funny at the same time, ppl…Sen. Stevens says he's innocent…i just don't get it…innocent of what?…haha…i bet y'all Sarah Palin believes the senator is innocent as well…just like she somehow found the report on troopergate to have exonerated her from any wrongdoing…r these ppl for real?…so Gov. Palin hopes the senator's gonna do the right thing…which is what, exactly?…the dude already says he's innocent…he can't even own to his own deeds…hahaha…and what kinda corruption does Gov. Palin claim to be fighting?…herself?…haha.. thank God we get to have a say on who gets in the oval office…vote, ppl…vote…i don't care what party u belong to…just go and vote…be mindful that a great deal of what we see depends on what we're looking for…write that down…

Obama/Biden '08…

Kina.

Aren't they all innocent? Seven charges, seven unanimous convictions. Yeah, sounds like a technicality to me…

And he's going to get the results of a completed, fair, and certified election overturned? Good luck with that.

Republican politicians really do have a disgusting sense of entitlement.

Typical Republican Crook: "I'm Innocent!" What a load of manure. I say: Let's round up the rest of these GOP Traitors and Crooks and give them the "Anti-American" test that Michelle Bachmann was proposing!

Leave it to a repub to continue to run for office after being convicted.

GET OUT AND VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OFFICE

Innocent based on "repeated instances of prosecutorial misconduct." . Not because he didn't do it but because the prosecutor screwed up. Typical. Own up to your mistakes and suffer the consequences.

Wonder who "Joe the Corrupt Republican" is voting for?

ha

Not according to 12 of your peers! (Justice Is Served Senator)

Imagine that, an Alaskan Leader being found guilty of corruption, who else does that remind me of. Oh yeah, the power abusing unethical Palin!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

uuuuurrrrppppmmmph

Hope I didn't get any on your shoes…

no your not

Not according to a jury of my peers. No offense, but I'll take their word over yours any day!

Yes Ted, Palin has already told us if you are found guilty in Alaska that means you are innocent doggone it ! Seems you have a different type of justice there and the verdicts mean the opposite of the way the verdict reads.

Tell me again who's the hero… Obama who goes out there every day with a price on his head, or country(club)first, mccain.

Attack Obama's "patriotism" NOW…..

I am sorry, Steve but you are a crook and it is time to pay. You should resign your seat and spare the American People and tax payers the cost of the appeals. I think Sarah should be joining you soon but I am sure the Alaska legislature will just ignore her blatant disregard for the law. I guess this show people from Alaska cannot be trusted..

Sir, You are sounding more like OJ everyday.

I believe you as much as I believed Lizzy Borden Palin could see Russia from her house.

Stevens may think he is innocent but a jury found him guilty. Sorry.

Hey I just heard from a URS that obama is throwing in the towel and crashing to defeat. Seems his town of Chicago needs him to take care of the crime in his neighborhood. Seems his past drug use is finally catching up with him and discouraging voters.

I say if you can't control your hometown, how in tarnation are you going to control our nation.

Give it up Obama and return to clean up your town

Stevens is guilty and he knows it. Please, can someone for once stand up and say "Yes, I did it, please forgive me, I was wrong"? Nope, not gonna happen.

There may, indeed, have been prosecutorial misconduct, wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last, but that does NOT mean he is, in truth, innocent.

I heard it said on another Stevens comment line, The comment "60 here we come, god bless America" Do you understand that having unbalanced voting is a bad thing. this mean that no one can stop a bad idea that is running amuck.

"I remain a candidate for the United States Senate." Is this man playing with a full deck? Still shocks me how these Republicans are caught and found guilty and still have the ba_ _s to think they can continue to go on as if nothing has happened. Stevens is an excellent example of why term limits should be set!

Maybe he and Palin will share the same cell. Now that would be funny
Didn't the AIP build/remodel Palin's house? LOL

Sarah Palin Basically Said The Same Thing When She Was Found Guilty Of Abuse Of Power! She Came Out And Said She Was Happy To Be Found To Haun Done No Wrong When Everyone Else Said She Did!

What would you expect a Republcan to say? The truth?

Ha ha hah hah hah

All I can say is that a jury of his peers didn't think so.

Boo Hoo. i hope he gets everything seized!

Aww, poor Ted. Now that he's a convicted felon, he won't be allowed to vote for himself or his partner in crime Sarah Palin.

Million dollar house, gifts, Jacuzzi’s, abuse of power, REFUSE to admit guilt and repeated instances of sexist.
Sounds similar to the other Alaska pale arounder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News: she became a reinforcement of her caricature. She never allowed herself to be vetted, and at the end of the day, voters turned against her both in terms of qualifications and personally."

GOP = Greed Over Principle!

What a lieing idiot…and from Alaska too!

ya do the crime, ya serve the time,,,,,

This is a quote from Sara Palin "…Senator Stevens from this point on will do the right thing for the people of Alaska". She couldn't bring herself to say it but the right thing is to RESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's with Alaskans and being involved in nasty stuff… Sarah Palin is already involved in corruption, unethical behavior and abuse of power ("trooper-gate"). Where are the "mavericks"? Obviously "change" is not coming from Alaska… with all respect to decent people from Alaska…

FACT: The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which BOTH CANDIATES were found to have VIOLATED ETHICS STANDARDS before a national election.

No way, No how, No corruption, NO McCAIN/PALIN…

FOR REAL NEEDED CHANGE, VOTE OBAMA / BIDEN NOW..!!!

You're a republican…GUILTY!

By definition and by GOP policies, republicans are NEVER innocent. You only have two kinds of republicans. Those that get away with being a criminal, and those that get caught!

I wonder if he'll spend the rest of his life looking for the 'real' senator that covered up hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts.

Of course Stevens is innocent. Just like every other convict in prison.

Yeah, they're all innocent. This is what we have populating congress.

Haha! Sounds like Gov. Palin when she said that she was exonerated from any wrongdoing. Striped pajamas for the both of them!

-Tomkat-

Just like Rove and Palin are innocent too!! Pull up your socks and take JAIL like a big boy!!

This and the people that pushed or LESS regulation on Wall Street committed FINANCIAL TERRORISM against US citizens.

ETHICS REGULATORS PLS!!

LOL

Such hubris… Stevens, you and others like you are the death of the modern Republican party.

Ugh your guilty man hope they save room in the prison for the Govener of your state. She is just as corrupt as you!

It surely does not sound like the man is innocent! He should NOT be allowed to remain on the ballot. I find that appalling! He is 86, long past time to retire. I cannot believe that Palin is endorsing this man now! I'm quite sure she is as quilty of such behavior as he is. She is way too tied to the Oil Companies up there NOT to BE!

So I take it denial is a big part of Alaskan political culture? No wonder the GOP does so well up there.

Wow. Sarah Palin and Ted Stevens sure find strange ways to be found innocent when investigated.

Facts mater not I guess, only the delusional verbage.

Denial of black and white facts must be contagious in Alaskan government.

84 years old. Stay home, Stevens. Normal people retire at 65 or 70. Why don't politicians like this guy and McCain do the same thing?

Sure you are Steven .. Sure you are … LOL
