Popular Videos – THE ONION NEWS NETWORK - Panelists discuss the alarming trend of politicians who break their promises to the lobbyists who paid to get them elected.
Where is honor? And don't these politicians have any? A lobbyist can work for months finding just the right gift and arranging financing (Nigerian businessmen who want to transfer money to the US don't grow on trees). Then the politican cadges on him. Disgraceful I say!
Well I'm not voting for any politician who backs out on selling his soul to the demon god mammon! I like to know where I stand with my I'm - Going - To - Pretend - They're - Elected representatives!
Right! These are deals mutually arrived at. Personal conscience should not be a barrier to living up to them.
On a more practical level, maybe the lobbyisits can take out ads in newspapers to shame the politicians into keeping their agreements. I realize that voluntary compliance is much better, but sometimes all those guys understand is force.

And I quote Jack Warden from "Used Cars"
"Well, I'll tell you Sam, this country's goin' straight to the dogs. It used to be when you bought a politician the S.O.B. stayed bought!"
lol- those days are over ind06.... ;~] they tell you what you want to hear...
As they say around the Texas Legislature, if you can't drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office.

Being slightly paranoid is like being slightly pregnant - it tends to get worse.

I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.

Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
