  We asked if you would buy former governor Rod Blagojevich's book. Here are your responses:

I gave up comic books along time ago. --James Freund

ABSOLUTELY NOT - THE GUY IS A SCUMBAG WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RE-ELECTED!!!!! --Lynn Sullivan

I do not read fiction or fairy tails. Hey Rod better not drop the soap. --Bill F.

No - I am tired of hearing him lie, why would I want to read more lies! --Lois B.

Yes. The former governor may have disgraced the state of Illinois, but he can redeem himself by outing his corrupt colleagues. One would be foolish to believe that he was the only corrupt politician, and I believe that Illinois will become stronger with Blagojevich being the starter block. Next we could see other big names such as Daley and Stroger? I personally can't wait to fix our bleeding state and be proud to be an Illinoisan again! --Jay

Heck no. Don't we support enough crooked politicians who look for new ways to fleece the taxpayers? We will learn what we need to know when he goes on trial. --Bobbi Walker

Absolutely not. I'm sure the book will contain the same crap that he has been spewing all along. Boy, he must have been a rotten little liar as a kid! Besides, I don't think he should profit from his criminal acts. --Steve Kelley

If the former governor would have been honest in the first place about his money troubles, maybe I would help him out. After all of this scandal trying to sell out MY state's senate seat.... no no blago. --Sean K.

I would never spend my hard earned money to read what would probably be nothing but his ego running wild. He lied during his term and there are a lot more interesting fiction out there to read. --T. Hyman

No because based on what I've seen so far none of it can be true.I don;t think the man knows what the truth is. --Bob

No. Because I'm just tired of hearing about him. --Ryan L

Why would anyone with a sense of common decency, support a man who is self serving and a thug? --Dave Ward

No...I wouldn't want him to get any profit ..he didn't do anything for many of us....but give us stress.. --Anna Szudrowicz

Absolutely not. Not one dime of my money will go to fund this profoundly corrupt and narcissistic man. He can go f**k himself. --Autumn Talley

No I would not!! How could you ever believe what he wrote!! He should just quietly go away, what an embarassment to the people of the state of Illinois!! --Nadine Thieme

No way! John Kass of the Chicago Tribune is already doing a fine job reporting on the dark side of Illinois politics. And he even does his own writing! Imagine that! --Jean SmilingCoyote

Yes I will, He has no reason to lie and now we can see what the Barack and the rest of the Chicago Thugs posing as politicians, really have been up to doing !!! --Joseph Jagiello

No, not even when it's marked down to a dollar or two. My reason is I don't believe in supporting or rewarding those who commit crimes of any kind. --Jeffrey Salakar

YES!!!!! becouse it with bring out the truth about politis in IL. And i hope he names names . Think alot of pepole are going to fry... --Vince Balding

Absolutely not!! I'm not going to support someone with no morals! --Mary Holder

NO, NO WAY, NEVER!!!!!!! I would not waste my time and money reading lies from a corrupt polititian. Who wants him to recieve any money from good people. --Pamela Rogers

Uh, now why would I do that if I wouldn't even vote for the man!? --Jamie

Yes! Because news is news. Whether it's true is not the issue, what is the issue is this may be what He believes is truth. Wow, and just maybe it will smoke out some rats too. --Bryant Etherton

No. All Lies just like the talk shows. Why pay for it? Garbage writes garbage. He should wait, it would be a good prison project. --Chicago120

No way. I throw up a little in my mouth every time I see Blago's mug on TV. The only thing that will make me feel better is seeing him on a court house perp walk. Now THAT would be like gold! --Drew Ahrens

Absolutely Not! Why would anyone want to help him get rich on more lies. --Tina Beckman

No. Rod is not living in the real world, therefore, his book would most likely be more of the same - pure fiction. --Donna

no maybe i'd borrow it from the library, but unless the profits go to Illinois citizens' needs, e.g. health care, education, decent housing for poor people, etc., i'm not paying for my own brand-new copy of the book. --Miriam Solon

I will absolutely purchase the book. I believe he will have a lot to say of interest to many. --Carole

Heck No ! There's more important things in life. It would only apply to those with "morbid fascination" regarding such a tainted subject, during these tough times. Not a good investment for anyone's future. --Matt

YES - ABSOLUTELY , because we all know that 90% of Chicago & Illinois politicians are the biggest & most corrupt in the country,& want to hear Blogo's tales. --Paul J. Penkala

NO!!! By buying his book you would only be supporting Rod Blago because then he would be getting paid for him telling a story about how he is corrupt. You are already able to hear the story on the news almost every day so there's no need to purchase the book. --Chris Lange

No way..he profited from me enough hence will not get another dime from me. I would not even get it from the library..they had to buy it for me to read it so not even in directly will he get any more of my time, attention or money! --Patti Mocco

No Way. I would never condone the profiting of criminal behavor by purchasing a book which will give some profits to a criminal public servant. --Dan Malone

Of course I would buy the book....just to read the NAMES he will name!! --Shirley

I have heard enough from this crook. He has wasted enough of my money I would never buy a book authored by him. You could not believe a word he wrote since he has a problem with the truth. --Russ Walter

Yes, I will buy Blago's book because he is a great man. I will support him in anything he does. --Danielle

Buy it? NO! I'll steal it. --Neal

YES! The truth must be exposed!!!! Go Rod! --Blagojevich Fan

No. I don't believe what he says verbally, why would I believe what he says in writing? --Mark Ferguson

Not a chance. He has nothing to say that is worth the time to read. He's an embarrassment to the political process. I wouldn't give him or his book deal a dime! --Donna Pemberton

No. He has lied and cheated repeatedly, nothing he says is believable or worth my time. --Shannon

I will under no circumstances buy anything vconnect with him. He needs to be in jail. --Kathy

No I will not buy his book. What can the book be all about? he didn't do much for anybody or for the state of illinois like a good governor should. --Armando Cuevas

NO!! He's a crook and eventually will go to prison. Will it be a book filled with pages stating "I wasn't able to bring witnesses...."SOS --Penny
