LOL Tailgater,
I don't think it's unresolved issues, but an awakening. I realized that most politicians, are self serving ****, who care much less for our country, than the average American. The Dems want to tax us to death, and the republicrats, sell us out to the highest bidder, see campaign donations. Then look at the massive payoffs, for donations to the current administration. It's enough to piss off anyone, with half a brain, and a willingness to use it.

P.S. And yes, I may have been drunk when I wrote the above, but I can sober up. Some people here are so intoxicated by their favorite son, that they can't smell the coffee, much less wake up.

One thing that I learned quickly during my 11 years in Northern Virginia-Democrat, Republican, or Independent, it doesn't matter who they were. They did whatever it took to stay in office to enjoy the perks, prestige, and parties. It is a whole different mentality "inside the beltway." You had to have lived down there to fully understand, but not neccesarily hate it.

OK.
So we've determined that politician lie.
Alot.
And they are self serving. They help their buddies who got them elected.

So we're REALLY not talking about individuals, are we?
Would those that hate GWB actually want ANY Republican in the office? Sure, there are those that will cry for McCain, but would he have handled 9-11 any better?

We cried then because the government didn't do enough to protect us.
We cry now because our proactive (pre-emptive in democrat speak)stance in the Middle East has resulted in lost lives and a country divided.

But isn't that the American way?
We cry for the water fowl in Alaska but hate dependency on foreign oil.
We hate taxes but want better services.
A nickle increase at the pump sends us to boycot Mobil, but we buy bigger engines because we like the acceleration.

We're the best damn country on earth and we feel guilty for it.

If the Politicians are hypocrits, then perhaps the really do represent the American public better than we thought.

Sorry for the thread jack Hog.

Yep Tailgater,
Politicians Lie.
And you are right, the masses are Asses. I just think the current resident, of the White House, and Congress, wouldn't want to leave them out, Lie Too Much, about stuff that means way to much, for many of us to want him, or them, to have 4-6 more years. My only solution, to this mess, is to vote for the person running, with the lowest dollar amout raised, then we are assured that he has less people looking for favor, which means, he may have the best interest, of the country at heart, rather than the people who have paid him off through political contributions,

P.S. Yes Bribery, and corruption, is alive and well, in American Politics, they have just found out how to make it appear legal.
