Wish there was a credible 3rd party out there and we could maybe get some decent folks in there, too many crooks on BOTH sides for my liking.


I'm with you Hawco, but like john9001 said. "Term Limits" I believe the real problem is professional politicians no matter what party.

Well I guess it's comforting to know that Cheney and Halliburton are not the only profiteering warmongers.  What's good for the goose and all that.

Just more evidence that there's not a dime's worth of difference between the two.

The Democrooks and the Republicrooks are screwing us all.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

They keep doing it because voters keep voting for them.

On balance, we're not morally superior to our politicians.

I say it is still so, on balance.  And on balance, those who say otherwise excepting the minority of virtuous people in here, lie.

A smaller .gov is a less corrupt .gov. The bigger it gets, the more fraud, waste and abuse will be present per capita.

Want less possibility of corruption? Don't think Democrat or Republican.

Hap, telling a lot of people that you know better than them what they are thinking is a lot like what politicians do.. so maybe it's just you that's no more and no less virtuous?

America has 300 million citizens.  1% = 3,000,000

The # of people that constitute government is not the problem, nor would decreasing the # of people who constitute the government erradicate corruption.

It's a moral matter.  We need better people all around in and out of government.

Only way to do that would be to eliminate any & all financial rewards. :(

Hap, assume corruption in every wallet. To reduce corruption, reduce wallets.

To believe political promises or party rhetoric or that a certain politician is morally  above reproach is naive. The only viable solution is a strict adherence to the constitution and to reduce the number of hands that can get into the cookie jar.
