Re: Comment on Etiquette
Less time in office means less time to work out those "special relationships" that get them paid so well.
If politicians had a better job description and less interpretation it would help too.
Running the country......
A few ends to that sentence could be
... into the ground.
... the way I want it run.
... for the benefit of my (constituents, Voters, countrymen, reputation)
... in a manner that insults no one.
You get the picture.
Benevolence is not a trait for politicians. They always are supporting someone s interest. Usually their own or their buddies that got them elected.Scott

Re: Comment on Etiquette
The founding fathers vision of federal service was that the shopkeeper, the tailor, the farmer would make the sacrifice to leave their livelyhood to serve the nation and their fellow countrymen for a term, conduct the nation"s business and then would return home.
Instead of selfless service, they have become corrupt and lawless robbers of the publlic treasury. Just look at their "retirement" benefits they have voted themselves. The ingenious ways they take bribes (the public speech forum). I can't legally pay you a bribe, but can you come speak to our local rotary club for $50,000 next tuesday? Not to forget that they keep all the money in their campaign funds when they exit office. Just google up KDH, KDS and Murtha. I lost a bid last year to a company and we were $150 a unit cheaper than the company that won the contract to provide armor to the Iraqi police. The owner of the company bragged about his "connections with Murtha and Kennedy". The taxpayer is being robbed, our troops are getting substandard equipment made in foreign countries like vietnam, china, and india disregarding the Berry Amendment and the Buy Armerican Act which were enacted in 1941. Dick Cheney has been leading the charge to eliminate the Berry Amendment (read American Jobs)
I recently had a contracting officer tell me that congressional staffers show up and "tell" them which company to give a contract.
This is the most corrupt administration since Grant was in office. The democrats are just as bad or worse than the republicans. We need a new party called the patriot party. We have lost the republic, when do you want to take it back?Chris

REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!! Go Chris. Its true. We have allowed them to do anything they want for so long it is now SOP.
When will we be able to take it back? Right after the passage of the bills that limit terms in public service, campaign finance reform and the choice of public assistance or temporary loss of voting rights.
All these problems have allowed the re election of these crooks for personal benefit.
Disclaimer: There are plenty more problems allowing politicians to get around what is right and do what suits them and their friends best.
Disclaimer: I do not support a revolution unless big brother is not watching.

The fat cats rule. When congress goes broke. We will succeed. You got my vote Boatsb. Everyone can see the problem, nobody does anything. I never vote for the incumbent. Four years, then out. That way they have not had enough time to be corrupt.
