Yep.....you get what you pay for.....
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

Politics at both the State level, and more so at the Federal level remind me more and more of my days in Southern California when my friends parents were all getting divorced.  The "adults" would try and woo the children to follow them by spoiling them rotten.  Anything and everything and even stuff no one had thought of was given to or done for the kids to win their approval and "love."

Today, our politicians are trying to buy our approval and secure their place on the gravy train and in the history books by buying our "love."

This is headed into a major thread drift, but it is my thread, so ... At what point in history did legislation start listening to polls and putting job security above doing the right thing for the best of the country?  At what point did getting reelected become more important than following the Constitution?  At what point did my comfort and creature comforts become more important than my grandchildren's future?  At what point did the epidemic of poor decisions made in the big stone buildings spill over to telling us to make poor decisions for the sake of the economy (spend, spend, spend ... borrow, borrow, borrow ... mortgage, mortgage, mortgage our way to prosperity)?

Ok ... I'm pissed and I'm ranting.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

m58...At what point?  From the very first I would bet that there were those that were in it for the power.  I think the questions are at what point did the MAJORITY become this way and "IS TIME TO HAVE A VOTERS TEST (or more stringent eligibility)?"

When did they stop considering that THEY have kids and grandkids too? Don't they realize that all of this crap applies to their own too? Or are they just THAT arrogant and selfish that they don't even consider the consequences to their own families?

God grant that I may not be found wanting,

You forget that you are talking about the "Ruling Class", none of this applies to them or their families. Only us poor dumb citizens....
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." [Samuel Adams]

He gave you the combination too?

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
