Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>Peg's repeated use of the word old as a negative is no better than racism or sexism<<<


I disagree. She's only using it in the context of discussing Washington politicians who keep proving that the longer they stay and the older they get, the more corrupt they get and the more likely they are to end up disgraced. Either in jail, on their way to jail or busy making hallway deals with lobbyists in direct conflict with the best interest of their constituents. It's a sickness that seems to be directly proportional to the number of years served so "old" in terms of discrimination is something these scumbags have brought upon themselves. Where do come from defending this anyway...? You think they're on your side because you vote for them?
