Your comments and thoughts are most welcome. I certainly had reservations prior to marrying my wife, since she was a proudly self-proclaimed "basic New-Deal Democrat" and union member, but I had a hole card- her parents ran a small business around here.

How's about this one:

All politicians are crooks...?????
