I don't know ANYTHING about Shyne.. but the one difference between him and some other "politicians" is that he got caught !

I didn't intend to sound racist because that is not my orientation in the least. It just seems more prevalent and blatant there. I agree with the next post about being forced to choose the lesser of two evils on that particular governor's race. Yes, Shyne got caught and Jefferson got caught recently with the cold cash. But I don't think all politicians are corrupt in office. Taking a bribe is such a breach of trust that I could never vote for anyone who I knew had done so.
