I agree that most politicians can't handle the power and stay honest.<BR/><BR/>But why do we have that problem?<BR/><BR/>I believe it is because the MSM has made running for political office, and living through a term, so AWFUL for the candidates and their families that most GOOD and HONORABLE people don't want to subject themselves to the trauma.<BR/><BR/>When our country was founded, like most countries in the beginning, we had people who were willing to lay down their lives for what they thought was right. They were unselfish and visionary.<BR/><BR/>Today, many of the people running for office are willing to take money and life and freedom from others so that they can stay in power.<BR/><BR/>They are selfish and greedy.<BR/><BR/>We have gotten ourselves into a mess, and I believe the greatest fault is that of the MSM... who are relentless bloodhounds salivating after the juciest little gossip tidbit so they can discredit the candidate. Instead of focusing on the issues, they focus on the person. Instead of real journalism, they want pulp fiction. <BR/><BR/>The editors have to sell papers. <BR/><BR/>Gossip sells quicker than a discussion of economic issues.<BR/><BR/>It takes huge amounts of money to run a campaign. So where does the money come from? <BR/><BR/>It's a MESS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-35873215235649288442007-11-14T03:47:00.000-05:002007-11-14T03:47:00.000-05:00Spitzer and Giuliani are temperamental twins.

If some of the people they convict are guilty, so much the better, but that's strictly a secondary consideration with them. That's the reason I would never vote for either of them.<BR/><BR/>If Giuliani gets the GOP nomination I will not vote for him, even if he's running against the Wicked Witch of Westchester.Milhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350874508580081286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-78579171751962324472007-11-14T00:02:00.000-05:002007-11-14T00:02:00.000-05:00"The majority of NY politicians are corrupt and th..."The majority of NY politicians are corrupt and the Federal Government sits back and does nothing." What can the Fed do? Shouldn't the people of NY do something first, like voting the crooks, at least the obvious ones like Spitzer, out of office? In Illinois, we voted out a crook,... and voted in another. In the next federal election, we are very likely to vote in a "super" crook as the next president. May be most, if not all, politicians are crooks. We just have to get rid of them one crook at a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-11516574969247611592007-11-13T19:29:00.000-05:002007-11-13T19:29:00.000-05:00What's going on at Duke is very bad.You expect col...What's going on at Duke is very bad.<BR/><BR/>You expect college administrations and faculty to play race games and slam white students who don't spout the PC line.<BR/><BR/>But when a student newspaper gets in bed with them ....<BR/><BR/>Like I say it's very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-69060026800566490592007-11-13T18:34:00.000-05:002007-11-13T18:34:00.000-05:00Is all this a plot to make Hillary look bad?What d...Is all this a plot to make Hillary look bad?<BR/><BR/>What does Bill say?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-49325044946047820592007-11-13T18:33:00.000-05:002007-11-13T18:33:00.000-05:00I'm in NY.

This is from a long time New Yorker who knows Spitzer and gets a bad taste in my mouth every time I say his name. The majority of NY politicians are corrupt and the Federal Government sits back and does nothing. Elected officials, Judges, Police and big business...everybody has greed and power on their agendas.
