The FBI on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama's, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.

ABC'S CHARLIE GIBSON: In each instance, when the Capital Gains rate was dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?

OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.

Oh no, a poker-playing buddy of Barack Obama!

I like to play Texas Hold Em on facebook sometimes, if anyone I play with gets arrested does that mean you'll make a big deal out of that too?

Well we can tell you already tried and found him guilty in the court of public opinion because he's friends with Barack Obama.

If it was someone associated with McCain or Palin, you'd give them the benefit of the doubt.

Hypocrite, and that's what I call TRUTH.

How many of McCain's buddies were indicted in the Keating scandal?

Shameless, aren't they?

But I guess that's what happens when you're desperate like they are.

Of course, he must be because he's not a kool aid drinker like you.

Takes balls though to say that in the face of a spammer who gets his stuff direct from the Mccain campaign. Gotta give you props on that.

How about corrupt politicans in every state?

Being corrupt does not have a Democrat or Republican biased.

Though you Republicans so quickly forget all your Republican Politicans who were arrested huh?

Republican values create child molesters

How about this?

76 REPUBLICANS charged with something related to PEDOPHILIA. SEVENTY SIX.

So are you done yet because I have plenty more lined up if needed.

I figured due to the # of links in this one, might need some link listening music. And yes, I chose this song because of the irony of it.

These are some of my personal favorites.

May 18, 2007: Republican former South Dakota State Representative Ted Klaudt is charged with eight counts of second-degree rape, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, one count of sexual contact with a child younger than 16, two counts of witness tampering and one count of stalking against two foster children in his care

July 11, 2007: Republican state Representative and Florida co-Chairman of McCain for President Bob Allen is arrested for soliciting a male undercover police officer, offering to pay $20 to perform oral sex

August 9, 2007: Major Republican donor Alan Fabian is charged with 23 counts of bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and perjury
