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

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.

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?

You forget that you are talking about the "Ruling Class", none of this applies to them or their families. Only us poor dumb citizens....
