The problem with politicians today...

[mightymouse]

is not that some of them can be bought. It has always been that way, always will be. The problem today is that many politicians are so stupid that nobody wants to buy them.

The other problem: no term limits.

Hmmm....think you made a mistake when you wrote "problem" instead of "problems".

Your results may vary.

Sorry, can’t board that ship. Have to because it’s the only choice......no.
Not buying that at all. That (to me) is a copout (Slang 1. A failure to fulfill a commitment or responsibility or to face a difficulty squarely.)

One of the many reasons we are standing in the middle of the hogs mudpit (for those that haven’t had the pleasure, only about half is mud.....)

If you think being bought is limited to a politician, your short sighted (with all due respect). Most all have a price.

In case you missed it, I was talking about China being the buyer (as per your quoted post). They can only buy the sorry politicians we elect.

Wasn’t that I missed it, just standing there with mouth open drooling a bit as it sailed right past. I need to quit napping in between words when reading

Hopefully somebody marked those politicians sale tags with “all sales final”
