Oh I understand politics. It's called selling one's soul if that's what it take to get personal game. Yet you condem those that are capitalist, and condone this stuff as "business as usual" ? What a hypocrit!!!


Let's make a deal? Yeah, that's about what it boils down to . Screw what's right. Screw my "apparently non-existant" conscience. It's "what's in it for me". "What's my vote worth, whose got the cash , boys"?

I'll give you credit. You've got it pegged, just as I do. What's the diffence in our ideologies though?

Oh, no, Kimball...not so fast. Selling one's soul? Being persuaded to vote for a bill by understanding that a program or two might come to your district? NO ONE believes this bill will destroy America as would a biblical battle. Yet they say it, don't they? Why? Because they KNOW the average American voter is a political novice, never bothering to read much for him or herself. Jehovah Witnesses count on the average Christian being fairly illiterate about the Bible... so it goes in politics. And, the "what's in it for me" is often "my district"... i.e. I can run commericials showing what all I've accomplished for the district, for the voters in Parish 124 or whatever. Politicians are no more or less selfish than the American public, Kimball.
