Congress in many ways is more harmful to the tradional way of life in this country than any terrorist could ever be. In the beginning, they were honorable people who firmly believed in the common good of the country. Today, every move they make is calculated to benefit themselves and they do not give a damn about the rest of us. They have control over too much money and power.
People like Bob Dole left office and could take his $40+ million campaign fund and set up a tax free organization with that money and never pay a dime in income tax. Our ex-governor had over $100 million in campaign funds when he was booted out of office and hasn't been seen since. These guys set up the tax code to benefit themselves and none of the ex-congressman are starving...why is that???
Congress seems to attract the least among us -- especially to the Democrats..
Lots of Republicans aren't much to brag about either.
--
The best and brightest of America are creating wealth today, not squandering it as Congre$$ is prone to do.
The best and brightest of America are defending all of us in foreign lands, not imperiling us as many in Congre$$ appear hell-bent to do.
The best and brightest of America are willing to speak out for the truly disenfranchised and vulnerable and not just flap their gums like many democrats do today.
The Republicans as a whole are not without their own failings and divisons in their ranks that limit real progress to be made when it is so desperately needed on so many fronts.
In the end, it is up to an informed and educated electorate to keep them honest or at least try.
That some so readily forget who has sent them to Washington to do the peoples bidding unfortunately does not instill confidence in the system, but only feeds an undercurrent that will eventually erode and destroy the very foundation of what we all have taken for granted and so many have sacrificed all to maintain as a last bastion of liberty and justice for all.
Time for this old FaRt to catch a few ZZZZs
