Big-Spending Stevens Convicted, Loses Seat

COAST Celebrates His Loss !

Thanks to both a Washington jury and Alaska’s voters, the GOP has finally rid itself of one of the internal tumors that have condemned it to tax-and-spend policies in Congress. Unfortunately, it has dozens more that need to be excised. Alaska’s Senator Ted Stevens who for decades led the drive in Washington toward wasteful tax and spending policies, has been convicted of seven felony charges in October and then lost his Senate seat in November, finally freeing America from his four-decade grip on power. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
