You don't think these things already happen?!  They do!!!\nThey just have publicity consultants to help them put on a good face.  They do not care about these things when it comes to voting on certain laws.  they are more concerned with how they appear and how fat their wallets are getting.  Many politicians have children who are drug addicts, they just throw them in rehab and forget that the problem is there.  most of the wives are alcoholics and the politicians themselves have been found to cheat, do drugs, and all kinds of stuff....\n\nNO ONES life is easy.  But I would NEVER wish harm to anyone!  they will bring it on themselves.\n\nThey are not looking at the few (well, in this country there are more then a few) who actually NEED help.  They are forced to look at the more profitable resources...Keep the rich, rich and ignore the fact that there are poor!

What you said doesn't sound like the statement of someone living in a dream world to me.  It sounds like common sense.  I think our leaders need to take a refresher course in preschool and kindergarten, because they've clearly forgotten fundamental early life lessons -- like two wrongs don't make a right, the end doesn't always justify the means, and just because all your friends are jumping off a cliff doesn't mean you should too.  I think its our responsibility as citizens to voice our displeasure, tell our politicians to start behaving, and if they don't then get them the heck out of office.

Corrupt politicians are traitors who betray the trust of the people. They should either be sent to the Firing Squad, the guillotine or simply HUNG from the nearest tree.

Maybe we just need to ask for less government intervention in our lives

It sucks!!!   But please, please contact your legislators today and let them know how you feel.  Pay attention to how they vote on the specific issues and let them know you are keeping a watchful eye on them.

The Kennedys consider themselves royalty, and above the rest of the country. Everytime one of them gets into trouble, they just blame it on someone or something else. They wouldn't even know how to accept responsibility for their own actions. We should stop electing them and show them they are just like the rest of us.

I agree with your logic, it's really all emotional behavior learned at an early age passed down from your parents, I believe. I vote on the issues at hand, and right now Bush and co are a bad thing for America.

Get rid of the politicians

I'm with you, the gov't stood by and let it happen, all in the name of big business.  Now that they're scared of getting booted out of office... oh yeah NOW they start to pay attention.  Politicians don't care about us, they only care about power and money.

Absolutely, I think they should have to do community service for the family members of the men and woman who are at war defending our country while they are here putting us all in jeopardy and making a mockery of our servicemen.

I think you got it the wrong way around. I think elected people are more evil than others.

Damn good question and point, I wish we could do something about this and all the dirty politics and politicians.  Our whole government needs an ass kickin and a house cleaning.  They are all a bunch of greedy back stabbing bastards, that don't give a crap about the American people and weather or not they are  struggling to make it in life.

Very perceptive grasshopper.  It is ridiculous, I think that Politics makes me nuts.  It goes all the way down to local government.  It is almost as soon as they get into office they forget about all the people and only care for the few. I hate to get started, you never know who's tapping into your conversations anymore: in the name of security we lose our voice.  You gotta say they have some slick moves.

I only resent ignorant knucklehead's who's irresponsible actions waste our limited resources while giving back little, if anything in return, and the crooked politicians who's give away programs in exchange for their votes perpetuate the problem. Hey dude, if you work and take care of yourself and your family and help to pay for the services that we all enjoy as a civilized society you are ok with me. But don't expect me to embrace the people that cause the government to tell me they need me to  pay more in taxes for the mistakes or exclusive interests of others. That goes for the politicians too, and I don't care what their political affiliation is. The political hacks that sign off on $500 toilet seats, the ones that sneak excessive riders inside good legislative proposals inflating the cost to the tax payers while benefiting constituents of the person drafting such legislation. There is a long list of past and present politicians, and those yet to come who have, and will,  put their own special interests ahead of the common good of the country. One mans floor is another mans ceiling, and I like the idea that I, and not the government, should be in control of my own personal destiny and I should be able to earn as much money as I legally can without having the government progressivly over taxing my extra effort.

Sounds like your doing some finger pointing yourself.  Politicians are always blaming someone else.  Misdirection is the name of the game.

The problem is the parents should be in prison along side their brats.  Nothing is being done to solve them -- liberals would declare we are too harsh on the children.
