"A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker."

H.L. Mencken

"A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man."

Thus wrote an inveterate racist and anti-semite. I don't need advice from such a person. Mencken was full of himself and set the mold for today's prima-donna, opinion-spewing, agenda-setting, Christian-hating "journalists."

That being said, I think the quote applies to Davis quite well but it is a gross simplification to imply that all politicians are evil, as Mencken often did. It is this cynicism which makes people lose their public spirit and become more suseptible to liberal demagoguery which will "save" them from all the "threats" they are faced with.

I didn't mean anything against you, so I hope you don't take offense :)
