Those who have the most chance of getting elected are those who are on the take before they ever begin their campaign. The two main prerequisites for getting elected are charm and funding; integrity is much easier to fake. On selling out to the highest bidder, think about how our election system is run.

I found that Waxman laughing about it just made me madder! These clowns need to go, they have no respect for what they are doing or what we have entrusted them to do...IMHO.

It would seem to me that we could find candidates with a bit more integrity than that. Besides, I would think having the status of once serving in Congress would be more valuable after one's term than anything to be gained during it. The RonPaulbots is a brilliant idea. Perhaps we could just key the Constitution into a computer program to replace the SCOTUS too. Then, all Bills could be run through it to see if they are legal before even voting on them. :) ◄Dave► That is rather cynical; would you sell out to the highest bidder on day one?

With no reason to perform well, they would sell out to the highest bidder on day one. The government will not be fixed while it continues to hold power. It isn't the people who are making the system bad, it is the system which is making the people bad. Until my army of robotic Ron Pauls is finished, our only hope of redemption is revolution.
