Are all politician corrupt?

tater03 · 10-05-2006, 04:05 PM

I have such trouble when voting time comes around. I feel like I am trying to pick the best of two evils. I mean it just seems like politicians anymore are just out for themselves. Does anyone else feel this way. It just make voting so frustrating for me.

There are a few out there who don't seem corrupt. I'm not frustrated when I vote, but I am angry that we pay the salaries of people who are corrupt, sexual deviants and the like.

I could not agree with you more on that one vicki2. And the thing is they probably make three times the amount I do a year. If not more. And you are so right we pay for the corrupt ones.

Beats me why they can't just go to Washington and keep their pants and pockets zipped up for a few years. it isn't as though they go and think weird stuff won't be noticed.

I dont think that all are corrupt but at the same time a few of them does give the rest of their party a bad name whether they are democrat, republican mainly.

It shouldn't effect the party in reality, but it does. It's tantamount to saying that a race in general is bad because of one bad person. But it's human nature.

You know vicki2 I never really thought about it on those exact terms. But you are right. I guess I just think that if you go into politics it should be to want to help people. Then to find out a lot of times that they have lied to get into office is just discourging to me. Thanks for making that comparison though because you are right I was judging a whole party for the actions of a few.

I loved the slogans in the French Presidential Elections a couple of years back - Chirac vs a far-right candidate: "Vote for the gangster, not the fascist". Pretty much sums up politcs, I guess.

I'm going through sort of a culture shock ...politically ...being back in the States right now. The current crop of political ads for next week's election are as nasty as I ever thought I'd see! Whew.

You are so right about the ads this year. They are downright nasty. I am so tired of seeing them. Cannot wait until this election is over with. I don't know about you but when I see these absolutely nasty ads it doesn't make me think that I should vote for the other person in the least.
