Think about something. I put an Ad in the paper, it says: 1957 Chevy, all cherry and gone through, engine and trans. was rebuilt. Bla, bla, bla. $25000 firm. So you come by and look at it, then you buy it and trailer it way. Week later you call and say, it has a blown head gasket and the body had more plastic than a corvette, So! We argue back and forth, technically I didn’t lie, I just mislead the buyer in thinking it was restored to original, head gasket blown, yes, but the engine was rebuilt. Got it so far, now we go to court, and obviously I deceived and mislead the buyer and it has gone beyond “buyer beware” and I have to give back or pay restitution for my deception. Making sense so far, if that is a clean cut case, OK. Then when candidates campaign, and make promises to the public and the voter, right. Then they are voted into office, and it is not like it happens once in a while, suddenly they don’t understand what you are talking about, or say you misunderstood, or even say it is out of their control. OK, how these people are still in office, and not penalized for their misleading acts and deceptions. Now if you or I fill out an application, and get the job, they find we lied on our application, we are out in the street. RIGHT! Point is, how do they get away with it, and we can’t? Kind of double standards correct!

If politicians were held to the same standards as us deplorables, Washington, DC would be a ghost town.

That's politics and the politicians make the rules.
That's why you'll never see term limits or their requirement to obey the same laws that they pass for us to obey.

It's against the law to lie to Congress, but it isn't against the law for Congress to lie to you.  It REALLY should be the other way arouund! |

Cuz you keep voting them in. Hildabeast for example. If she looses can go to work for Chris Angle, she is sure good with illusions and smoke and mirrors. Half the country after 30 yrs is still buying her spin. Let's see if old Bill jumps into Haiti again with more money laundering schemes. I doubt it though. If he ever set foot in Haiti again the would linch him. We now have a chance for a non politician, albeit crude at times but earned his money. Amazing the world was tripping over themselves to rub elbows with this guy, now the left is going craze trying to demonize him. Has he says what have you to loose. Clinton and Obama we are loosing the constitution and the country to special interests..

Negative, DC would still have folks in those positions, just different folks. How's that old saying go? Absolute Power Corrupts and Power Corrupts Absolutely. One of many reasons I support term limits...................... |

Yes, it is against the law, but evidently, there's no repercussions. All you have to do is accept responsibility, say you wouldn't do it again and move on like nothing happened. -RP |

When I get all down and out thinking about how unfair and divisive politicians are, I just remember one thing. We are all going to come before the Judge one day, then everything will be set straight!  |
