The Oval Office is not for rookies. And anyway, politics is a racket. The sooner you accept that, the easier it will be. As someone once said, it ain't tiddlywinks.

I accept a little bit of slime and corruption as the cost of business. Palms get greased. Deals get made. That's life. You've got to weigh things realistically, imo. What you are basically asking for is an ethical racket. Ain't no such thing.

I'm not asking for perfection. I'm not looking for angels. Pretty much everyone dabbles in taking perks when they find them. I'm just asking for someone who is professional enough to keep it within reason, and manage things well.

You are right about that’s the way the “deal” gets done.

What you fail to realize is that we have “done the deals” to drive us to the edge of bankruptcy, and at some point “one more deal’ is the straw that breaks the camels back.

Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting different results.

If you don’t expect different results that what we have, why are you voting?

Both the mainline Dems and Repubs have spent us down the river.

It’s TIME for a change. and Rick Perry is NOT it.
