Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>Politics is not an easy profession. Perhaps, I expect too much. I expect honesty where it may, in fact, be a disqualifying character trait for a successful politician<<<


That's about right I think. Partly because some 95% of the population is automatically disqualified from running for high office since they're not millionaires. So with much of those in high office having essentially bought their seats, how much honesty is to be expected? Worst part about it though is that the working stiffs who keep electing these scumbags are the ones getting screwed the most. Just look at all the posters here who still think GW Bush cares about them.
