Absolutely!. People should really hear the rhetoric instead of just listening to it. The only way things get passed in Congress is when both sides agree to it. Just like the bailout. The government has grown into an auction house, and at times without an auctioneer. Its like to gangs fighting over turf for those who will support their next campaign.
Maybe I should move to Vermont! :)
Here we are again at the straw drawing to see which ones of the same old shitheads, and millionaires at that plans to run for president. Its not enough that we get them for 2, 4, or 6 years we have to keep seeing them to our death or theirs, depending which comes first. Many of them will continue to serve till their 90 or 100 if they can keep getting elected just so they can get as much as they can. If they weren't rich going in they will be when they leave, or in jail.
If they truly wanted to help this country they would be in it to serve this nation like most of our military does, especially those overseas who lay their lifes on the line everyday. If they survive when their tour of duty is over they leave, having contributed all they could. Like Washington did. Then get on with their lives.
Just like many of our teachers who may want to be, but lack what it takes to be one, or at least a good one. They get the job, and they lack the teaching skills students could benefit from. Not everyone was born to teach. I think we all have experienced some of this, either in our grammar school, high school, and even college. Some make learning fun, and challenging, and pull you to class, and others can complicate the subject, and make coming to class a choir. "Like my Early World History Teacher". :):), he spoke in monotone. I hated him and his class. :). Its not an easy job, and some students can be just as big a problem.
Not me, I was an angel! "Not".:) But, I always respected my instructors. I think I realized early on, the task they had at teaching a class. Most mean well.
They should be the first to recognize it though if it isn't working, and the students grades are poor, and remain poor. I'm sure many do but choose to keep the position without any repurcussions. It only means their not getting thru, and lack what it takes to get thru..............
Like the larger majority of our politicians who make about as much sense as one of the stooges teaching at Harvard. But seeing what Harvard has produced, like Skilling, and the many that make up Wall Street could be an important improvement.
Isn't it ironic that Congress voted to limit the president to 2 terms, but they have voted down term limits on themselves. They can make it a life career if they're are willing to prostitute their office for campaign contributions, graft, and get the money backers behind them. Like Lieberman did. We will grow old listening to their horseshit stirred with lies. The horseshit doesn't smell so bad until they start stirring it, then the flies appear.:)
