    And I quote Jack Warden from "Used Cars"

    "Well, I'll tell you Sam, this country's goin' straight to the dogs. It used to be when you bought a politician the S.O.B. stayed bought!"

      Where is honor? And don't these politicians have any? A lobbyist can work for months finding just the right gift and arranging financing (Nigerian businessmen who want to transfer money to the US don't grow on trees). Then the politican cadges on him. Disgraceful I say!

      *Definition*

      Politician:

      "Someone who divides his time running for office...and running for cover."

      :oS

        congress and the senate have done very little to help the avergae american for a very LONG time... It doesn't matter who the president is... they still do as little as possible on our tax dollars.
