Interesting timing What Blagojevich was doing right before he was indicted

Coincidence?
December 8 - Governor Rod Blagojevich announces the State of Illinois will cease doing business with Bank of America.

December 9 - Governor Rod Blagojevich, who has been reportedly under investigations by the federal government for three years is indicted based on a recent wire tap.

If he is as dirty as he is being portrayed, why did it take three years to find something on him?

Also...

When is the last time you saw a governor take a high profile stand for a small business and working people against a multinational bank?

Thank you for posting this Maggie. Thank you thank you thank you.
The second he came out for a UNION he was toast.
I've been wanting to post about this for days but you beat me to it.

I'm guessing that even if this Gov, or any other pol, is corrupt it's irrelevant to his situation. What's going to get a pol in trouble is not the corruption, it's siding with workers over the corporate bosses.

More significantly Blagojevich sided with unionized workers at the Republic Windows and Doors factory. The owners of the Republic factory are busting the union and moving it to the non-union ("right to work") state of Iowa. That's the bottom line here.

This is a must read: http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/analysis/556

This is just like the current attack on the United Auto Workers. Using the economy to justify the abhorrent policy the corporate gov't wants anyway (aka The Shock Doctrine)--to bust unions. Union busting is THE road map to world politics. It also dovetails with THE rosetta stone of world politics--the 1963 coup.

Change a couple of words, "President" instead of "Governor," "US Steel" instead of "bank," and insert the word "UNION" and we have a question with the following answer: The last time was in with President Kennedy in 1962.

War on organized labor is THE real war. Again, what is the first thing Hitler did after seizing power? Bust the unions. It's what his industrial backers, like Fritz Thyssen, wanted.
