Well... Based on the historical examples the last three years, they really do not care whether a Democrat or republican is in office to sign the bills as long as they get to satisfy their personal greed and addictions.

Truth is and I think you know this... They work for the same handlers the Democrats do. So no matter what they are all on the same team and don’t care who is pulled off either bench to go on the field.

In the end neither actually loses the game, they both win. It is us who will always lose either way.

I can't really dispute what you are saying.

I like watching the PGA golf tournaments, and I like watching the NASCAR races.

With the golfers, they perform as individuals who get a share of the "purse" based on how they finish one week or another. Somebody wins and gets a million dollars, somebody comes in second and gets half a million dollars, the rest split the remainder. Next week, someone else wins the mil, but over the season they all make a lot of money.

With NASCAR, however, they have the drivers, they have the "teams" (i.e., owners), and they have the manufacturers. The drivers just want to win. The teams want the junior drivers to block for the senior drivers. The manufacturers don't care about the drivers, they just want the "brand" to win. They have competing loyalties. The team with the most cars gets the most "loyalty" of the manufacture. The team with the fewest drivers has to be more aggressive to win.

In the end, they all want the "sport" to be popular. It's ironic that politicians poll so far behind everyone else in popularity, and yet they grab the biggest purses of all.
