We have always known their presence in Washington was not for the basic paycheck. (gross understatement).

How do you stop it when our legal system is almost as corrupt as the Congress itself? Part-time Congress? End the concept of the professional politician in the Congress?

Pay no attention. This is from Sarah Palin, and therefore is NOT to be believed. And probably the exact opposite is true. After all, she’s a RINO-who’s-only-in-it-for-herself and/or the money.

(There. Just thought I’d save all the PDS-ers their valuable time. Go away,nothing to see here.)

Here's an interesting quote:
The bills by Sens. Scott Brown, R-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., are particularly weak. Members of Congress should disclose all trading activities immediately, not after 90 days as their bills propose. More immediate disclosure deadlines (similar to the strict deadlines corporate executives adhere to when trading certain amounts of stock) are imperative for real transparency.

Power goes with money. Strip Washington back to it’s constitutional boundries and they don’t have so much power to buy and sell. They won’t do it to themselves. They like unconstitutional money and power.

I’m there with you, Sarah. I’m so sick of the two sets of rules. The entitlement political class on both sides of the aisle needs to be swept out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
