I believe two factors in the life of John McCain combined to create a man fully committed to public service

= = = = = = = = =
Public service is a much ‘misused’ or misunderstood word, right up there with ‘hero’.

Public service is more like the Volunteer Firefighter, Volunteer Sheriff Deputy, the minimum wage person in a nursing home cleaning bed pans, maybe even saying a policeman, fireman or Military is a ‘public servant’ may be a possibility.

How can you call someone a ‘public servant’ who make more than probably 2/3’s of the citizens, house a retirement package to ‘die’ for, spends 20-30 times his salary to get elected/re-elected, which sort of proves something going on as very few of them leave any the poorer for it AND when they do leave it is often to a ‘job’ that is able to sway or influence those that replace them.

Years ago Generals and Admirals would retire and show up a few days later working for the same company they were ‘overseeing’.
CONGRESS put a stop to that.
When is CONGRESS going to put a stop to their shenanigans.

I guess a ‘good’ answer would be WHEN PIGS SPROUT WINGS AND FLY.

How can you look forward to term limits when it is up to the people we are trying to stem to vote it into being?

OUR elected officials are NOT PUBLIC SERVANTS, they have made themselves the ‘untouchable elites’ and made US their ‘servants’.

The old HS election by the guy that never did anything while all his opponents worked ‘hard’ at getting elected.
He won hands down and when his ‘skeptical’ parents asked how he had done it he said:
“I told him WE were going to treat all of them to a weekend at our Beach House”.
