Hevesi's Acquittal

Submitted by Robert Ballan, Nov 12, 2006 03:04

I thought long and hard about voting for Hevesi, a man caught spending our money for his personal use. His actions are, no doubt, reprehesible. However, when I thought about the history of fiscal mismanagement and corruption presented by Republicans under the present administration, I decided that I'd vote for Hesesi. I would sooner have a small time crook in office rather than a candidate sponsored by a national political party that has been acting and looking alot like an organized crime family of late.
