I wish I could say that this really surprised me, but having lived in Illinois for most of my life, I must say it didn't. It is a known fact throughout Illinois that Chicago politicians are crooked. It is also interesting to me that so many of the Governors of Illinois are so corrupt.

More and more I have become aware of the fact that our political system in America is corrupt. I am constantly in doubt as to whether ANY politicians are actually honest. What ever happened to political offices being an office of public SERVICE. Instead it seems like everyone is out for their own gain now. I might be mistaken on this, but I don't think I am - I believe that many of the political offices held today, at one time, were volunteer. It wasn't meant to be a status symbol, but instead was a way of giving back to the country. This is deeply lost in our country today.

I guess this gives us another reason to pray for our government. They are tempted on so many levels, we need to continually lift them up in prayer.
