Does it take a certain type of personality to be a politician? I listen to them talk, watch what they do, and I am amazed that they can live with themselves.
You have Nancy Pelosi saying that unemployment benefits create jobs, but here fellow democrats refuse to use tarp money to pay for those benefits because…that money is for job creation. 2+2=5
The President assures the public and the Health Insurance mandate is not a tax, he did not break his promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. Now that they have to defend its constitutionality…it’s a tax. 2+2=5
Hillary Clinton claim the rich don’t pay their fair share, but they are spending $2 M on their daughter’s wedding? For that matter wasn’t she begging for money to pay off campaign debt? 2+2=5
Tax dodging (from both parties), wasteful spending, unwillingness to compromise, all the while telling us we have to pay more in taxes to lower the debt, be frugal at home, and they really do want compromise. 2+2=5
How do they sleep at night?
I don’t know how they sleep at night either. I’m afraid that if we do indeed send a new batch of politicians to Washington in November, they’ll be corrupted in two seconds flat.
Strict term limits may help curb some of the ugly, blatant corruption, but it’ll never happen. Our own justice department is too corrupt and partisan to pursue the criminal activities of our elected “servants”.
It’s truly discouraging.

I know how you feel, but we have to be persistent. If the batch we send this time screws up then we send new ones next time. We force term limits on them if they won’t put them in place themselves. Send a message that we won’t sit back and let them play around anymore. We can’t just close our eyes and vote anymore.
