    Isn't it amazing that we all have the same or similar gripes about our politicians - no matter what party or how they lean (Left or right) we all complain about them. They are shameless in their own promotion everywhere.....

    Yeah, I've been of the long opinion that we need to start vetting our politicians to weed out the professional bullshitters, and we need to especially require them to be held accountable for their actions. Two things that should be required already, but fail to be kept in line.

    A nation with a two-track justice system, is a nation waiting for its own subjugation.

    Personally I think a good start would be to flush all the lobbiest out of the White House. They only work for which ever cause pays them the most.

    It’s astounding how often you fail to live up to minimum standards of decency, civility, & probity.
    Seems like you will never understand what it means to be president, nor what it takes to be a good, decent, & honest person.
    So disheartening, so dangerous for our Nation.

    (couldn't have said it better myself)

    That is true for every town, county and state government. Don't forget about Congress and all the other elected officials. The White House isn't the only place to find lobbiests. The mayor of N.Y.C. and his crew met with 376 lobiests in the past 6 months. When a reporter asked him about it, the reporter was physically removed by police at the mayor's command. So much for free speech and freedom of the press. That's why itsi called the Rotten Apple.

    Heracles should indeed come back to re-do one of his twelve works, to know clean the Augean stables
