While I'm not sure that's the case, it's spot on. Decent people don't get into politics. We had the best Governor here in Missouri, I agreed with all his decisions. I was talking to a FReeper who had a friend who was closely associated with the family. The word he got was Governor Matt Blunt had had enough of dirty politics.
You just can't find an honest politician anymore - all the honest ones realize they can't be inside the den of iniquity without being touched by sin.
All the decent politicians that leave public office must expose what they know about the dirt on their way out. The American people deserve no less. The corruption in politics must be exposed.
Politicians, especially Liberals, fear exposure more than anything.
Oh no - I hope that doesn’t mean another good person in government will be leaving it. Eventually we will have nothing left but the communists and the totally corrupt ones...which is almost what we have now.
