“Well intentioned” my ass! With very few exceptions, they couldn’t give a rip about the Constitution, the country, their oath of office or their constituents, which is precisely why things have gone the way they have for years. They answer only to those who pay for their campaigns and their lavish “aren’t we friggin’ important” events. With even fewer exceptions, they are highly-flawed people with more skeletons in their office than Harvard Medical School, which makes them eminently controllable.
Yet they wonder why their approval rating remains in the 10 to 15 percent range and why 60 to 70 percent of Americans feel betrayed by them. You made your bed, you pissed in it, now sleep in it!
I should add that I’ve had the occasion to meet and converse at length with a rather large number of members of the House and Senate - from both parties. With very, very few exceptions, you would be amazed at the incredible lack of intellect and command of facts, not to mention the fact that very, very few of them have any core principles other than to get re-elected.
Nancy Pelosi is easily one of the stupidest human beings I have ever met. On the other side of the aisle, former Governor (of MO), Senator and Attorney General John Ashcroft is easily one of the most inarticulate and most miserable people I’ve ever met.
