Politicians of any political stripe are more concerned with their political survival than with what is best for their country, their community, or even their constituents. All too often it boils down to a sorry choice of who is the least evil, rather than who is best.
Elected officials should remember that contrary to their skewed understanding, winning the elections does not absolve being answerable to those who elected them. Unfortunately few politicians have any shame, fewer have any principles, and fewer still will stand up to defend them.
The electorate has to remember to make the elected officials truly accountable and base their new promises on past performance. Only then is there a chance that those charged with governing us will actually remember who hired them and who will fire them!

Amen
I agree 100%. Politicians should be treated like diapers. Unfortunately, they make a nice career being dirty diapers because not enough of us will run them through the wash cycle.
most of us are too lazy to discard the dirty diapers and as a result we get exactly the malodorous pieces of waste that we have running government at this time. Our politicians are taking the electorate for granted while becoming arrogant and bloated with their power and corruption.
