The problem with high-profile politicians like these is that they don’t really give a **** if we kick them out of office. First of all, incumbency rate is absurdly high. But even if they lose re-election— SO WHAT? They’re hired as lobbyists and influence peddlers and make tens of millions of dollars.
So what does Arlen Specter care if we kick him out if there’s $10 million waiting for him just to make a few phone calls a day?
Exactly!!!
Worse, people here scream that we have to kick out the RINOs from the GOP. Well guess what! The RINO's are demonstrating here that they have the most power to wheel-and-deal....not the GOP leadership.
We are so so so so screwed.
