They are a Congress of professional politicians. A lot of folks (here on FR too) are perfectly happy with professional politicians.
I think that is the problem. When you have campaigns spending tens of millions of dollars to win a job paying less than 200 grand a year, that only a so-called professional politician can vie for, we have lost our way.
I agree except the part about Freepers being satisfied with them being professional politicians. I don’t believe that is the case at all.
Unless you are talking about agitators or plants or just plain nasty people.
