Surely, you're not surprised by this, are you?

We are a nation of whores.
EVERYONE in government is a whore.
Some bigger ones than others, but ALL are whores.

[Robert Goren]

When this country started, the rich actually served in political office. Now days, they pay somebody else to.

You get rich in office, by taking bribes.
End of story.

You know who I want representing me in DC?
Some guy who milked a cow this morning.
Some guy who used vacation time from his factory job to be here.
Some guy who closed his store today to get her.
Some Women is here today because the schools are closed and they need her making lunches.
Some guy who stopped by the unemployment office on his way here to see if there any new job openings.

You know who I don't want representing me?
Any one the POS scumbags in office today.

I want someone who has a clue what it is like to live under the laws these commie-air heads pass, not immune to them. Someone who understands what it is like to have pay your own way, not someone with a budget and limo given to them to use to go out and whore contributions.

No one in government today has a clue about the real world.

Many probably have a clue, they just don't care....and, are available to the highest bidder. If you're the highest bidder, you can purchase a politician of your very own. The next honest politician will probably be the first.

Do you save if you buy more than one?
