Senators still demand user fees

The United States Senate is a disgrace. The vast majority of
them are career politicians... old _farts_ that haven't ever
held a real job in their life.

It's disgusting that such a once great country is so often
held hostage by this treasonous bunch of wothrless blowhards.
They should be all terminated. Lets get some qualified honets
Americans in there make some good statesman-like decisions
for a change.

Don't you find it at least curious that the straight-talking, honest
politicians are those considered non-contenders for higher office?

Yup... you have to a slick talking panderer who never answers a
direct question. I think that characteristic is mandatory entrance
requirement for the Senate.

I'm trying to remember the last straight-talker in the Presidency.
Was it:

Kennedy? Nope
Johnson? Nope
Nixon? Nope
Ford? Yep - but he was appointed.
Carter? Yep -- but no one liked what he said.
Reagan? Yep -- but only if it was good news.
Bush I? Yep -- but booted after one term.
Clinton? Nope
Bush II? Yep -- but no one likes what he says.

As you can see, the straight talkers aren't very popular with the
unwashed masses. Perhaps it's because no one wants to hear the truth
from their leaders, preferring the smoothly reassuring upbeat tones of
Reagan over the lectures of Jimmy Carter?

I dunno -- but this is shaping up to be the first election in my
lifetime that I will sit on my hands rather than vote for any of
them. I've never seen a more conniving bunch of slick salespeople
running for office in my life.

Montblack for President!

He's being coy, but I know he'll run if he finds out he can sit up front in
Air Force One.

Was it:

I recall Ike, and liked his no-BS, direct approach. Of course, most folks
didn't get it, which contributed strongly to where we are now w/r/t
military involvements in inappropriate ways.

Kennedy? Nope
Johnson? Nope
Nixon? Nope
Ford? Yep - but he was appointed.

Oh? And the "washed masses" feel differently? I don't think so.

Well, it seems that even you are discounting the few candidates that are
straight-talkers. If you really want such a person, then there are a few
to choose from; on the Democratic side there's Dennis Kucinich, and on the
Republican side there's Ron Paul. Both are pretty much dismissed by the
masses, washed or otherwise.

Both good guys, as politicians go.

Their biggest problem is that they don't toe their parties' lines. That
makes them outsiders as far as their parties are concerned, so the masses
don't hear much from them.

Perhaps people don't like what baby Bush has to say, because of his
mendacity and bias toward big pharmaceutical companies, big oil
companies, and non-competitive contractors, not to mention his
irrational religious bias.

"There ought to be limits to freedom."
- George W. Bush, May, 1999


According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to
strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to
strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the
problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the
elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country
and our people, and neither do we." - George W. Bush

You should do some digging into the presidential elections in the late
1800's.
