You are exactly right. And it has permeated both sides of the aisle. There are a but a handful who are really there to represent their constituents, and that IS disgusting. I truly believe we need to look into the recall procedure and start USING it. However...I think the deeper issue here is the moral decline in this country, from the top to the bottom. The moral compass has gone completely wonky. And as you know, I believe that is the direct result of some people making it their life's work to take God (or whatever name you wish to call Him by) out of the everyday fabric of life which led to moral relativism, there is no right or wrong, can't damage little psyches by telling them definitively some things are just WRONG....no if's, and's or but's. And, sadly, we are reaping what they have sown...and we share our part of the problem because we were too quiet for too long and did not exercise our power at the polls...where we can, with Congress. It is never too late...God said if they who are called by by name will turn from their sin and pray He would heal their land. So, not matter what we call Him...the Creator, God....we as well as the President and the Congress should keep their eyes UP...and we should pray steadfastedly for this country and her leaders. I believe therein lies our way out of this darkness. We need a strong, uncompromising leader who will put more control back in the states where it belongs, to not make God the enemy....I could go on and on. But there is hope...there is always hope. Be well, Ravenswing.

Disgusted...
This last dust up with Senator Craig from Idaho has just about turned me completely against anything to do with government. How many people actually are representing us up there on Capitol Hill? 600?? and those are the cream of the crop, the best we have, who we want to represent us???? I don't think so. That very very very small percentage of Americans we have chosen to speak for us and act for us cannot avoid scandal for more than a few weeks...we have prostitutes, money in freezers, homosexual senators preying on young men and heterosexual men preying on young women, bribes, money laundering, rehab for everyone who gets caught because whatever it is, it is not his/her fault, perjurers, liars ...some in jail, some not, incompetence...and this is the United States of America. Whoever it is who picks up the torch this next 8 years has got so heavy a burden that it will only be carried with the help and direction of Creator. I sincerely hope s/he prays for Creator's wisdom every day of his/her term. I believe we are at a turning point here and I believe the eyes of the leaders of our country need to be constantly turned upward. Aho. (thank you for tolerating my rant).

Experience is largely overrated, because every situation is unique and asks for a new strategy.
BTW, being old an experienced often equals being senile.
I am so truly disgusted with the whole thing.
This has got to stop!!! When are the true patriots going to stand up and say "we've had enough!" If the country is being dragged down it's time to fire some people and not let them continue the treasonous actions they are doing waiting for the next election.
I am with you, disgusted...yeah, maybe Paris is the one...
i mean...like...wow...after all, she's hottt (her own words..lol).
If Obama inspires this kind of behavior in his followers, yet another reason I would not want him for President.
Do you find it interesting that some Democrat in Pennsylvania has filed suit in federal election court challenging Obama's birth certificate? Yes, I know fatcheck.org says they have looked at it and examined it and say it is legitimate. But...this guy claims to have proof he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii. Oh well, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. And yes, I know the guy is a Clinton supporter. I just find it amazing that they are going to these kinds of lengths. He filed it this week...right before the convention.
I find it this all fascinating to watch. I think Hillary is saying one thing to the public and quite another to her supporters behind the scenes. I think she is already building for Hillary 2012 and many well be instrumental in getting him beat in November. Never be able to prove anything of course...who ever can on the Clintons. That being said, I would rather have her with all her warts than Obama. at least I know what she is.
Poor Barack...he stepped on the wrong toes. The Clintons are just not willing to concede the castle yet. Politics. Gotta love it. NOT.
bail out.. Amen, sam. Disgusted with
the whole dang bunch of them, for sure. As far as this bail out goes, I think those at the top who made so many millions and apparently will just go on, should be treated the same way as Ken Lay and others of Enron fame. They should pay it back, confiscate their new homes and boats or whatever they have bought, do jail time and be forced out of their elite positions. Of course, by the time congress does an investigation they will no longer be around anyway. But I do not think they should continue to give away our jobs to nontax paying people and still fall back on the age old answer of taxing us. Even my math is better than that!
I wont flame. I agree... I am disgusted also. -O's
