"How strange that anyone would profess to believe that the only people going into politics to make a difference come from positions of wealth and influence."

On avg. SS. not the exception.

If you believe that what is going on on the right side of the isle is not going on on the left side of the isle you need a lobotomy. The barret report for example will show you one of the most corrupt presidents in history was WJ Clinton. It will name an equal or greater number on the left side that the Abramoff deal will for the right.

You lefties have tried to say the same about Bush but after 5 years nothing has come of it. Not one charge,lie or inuendo that the left has raised has stood up to any test. You could not even raise a decent challenger to beat him in two elections. The current left is the most inept group possibly in the history of American politics.
