Aren't they, though. We have the "tax and spend Democrats" versus the "borrow
from your great-grandchildren and spend Republicans" and the taxpayer is the
butt of all jokes.

It may well be time to REALLY reduce spending without lying about it.

The Hell we cant. But, we have to include the Republicans, and any
other bunch of politicians.

A politician's only concern is to get into office. Then their only
concern is to stay in office. They have no other concerns. Then, no
matter what happens, they're covered, and screw the rest of us.

Still say they ought to hang, or shoot, one every once in awhile,
to keep the rest of them a little honest, for awhile, at least.

I'm not saying all politicians are dishonest, but check the records
on those people, and you'll find a lot with records of one type or
another.

I read a book a long time ago called "Government Waste from A to Z." I'll
bet it's even worse now than it was when the book came out.

I'm still going to stick to my position of staying the hell out of it
though. This is as far as I go expressing my views. For every opinion
there is an equal an oposite opinion.

I'm not sure Honest and Politician equate. I wish we had term limits on
every damned on of them, but we won't because they are the ones who have
to allow it - when pigs fly<G>. But then we the "Sheeple" allow them
to stay in by not voting their sorry asses out so...

I was told once that a Lawyer is the larval form of a Politician.

Party affiliation may have less to do with it than the fact that most of
them, at least on the national level, are lawyers.

It's well past time, Charlie.

It's also time to withdraw from Israel, Afghanistan, Iraq, and
Washington D.C. ;)
