All these politicians reek of the stench of corruption and arrogance, some more than others. Once in power it is nearly impossible to make any high ranking politician pay for their corruption, and they know it. You give that kind of insulation from consequences to any human being they'll eventually take full advantage of it and just do as they please. That's why it's unwise to keep electing the same people to power decade after decade. What the American people seem to have forgotten is that the election process was instituted to prevent the corruption that is inherent with long term power .
Having said that, I also know that the US Senate and Presidency are usually purchased with dollars. He who spends most usually wins. Freedom is a difficult thing to maintain.
Yeah, the spelling.
It's not so much the individual, but the power represented by the Party. Looking at the legislation pushed and passed since the Democrats took over the Congress only proves that there is a difference. I WANT the Republican Party to be the party of "HELL NO", when it comes to increased spending and growth of government.
Sadly, the Republicans in Congress in the late 90's, meandered to the center, then the left, in order to garner better press from the MSM. All they got for their efforts was the boot in 2004 and 2006, and the Congress went to the Democrats. The Tea Partiers are reminding the Republican Party of their roots, and where their REAL support lies. I think some are definitely getting the message, and the elections in 2010 will reflect that.
yes
