Personally, I’ve defended Bush for the last time. His immigration/amnesty fiasco sucks! The American people don’t want this shoved down our throats by DC “in your face” arrogant elitists. We are the ones that will suffer the consequences while the “rich” DC politicians live in their private compounds living off inherited money. What’s going on in DC is a disgrace to our heritage and a disgrace for future generations of Americans who will be forced to live in what will become a third-world cesspool.

I’ve worked on many Republican campaigns through the years; no more until the traitor RINO’s are gone.

Uh, no. Most Congressitters are self-made. We know a few who married money, and we know a few who inherited it. Frankly, if more inherited it, there'd be more sanity in estate taxes.

Just about the worst problem of Congressional isolation from the rest of the country is the nature of Congressional income: they have too many perks and not enough earned income which would be subject to taxation -- as well as anomolously large pensions. If they made more in salary and less in deferred income they'd actually realize just how detrimental the tax structure is to wealth creation.
