Yet ANOTHER Despicable Politician

You know, for some reason I keep thinking that our politicians will have to wake up sooner or later and start answering to the people. Then I see another one do something unbelievably selfish and with total disregard to the voters who elected him and I just shake my head and wonder why people keep electing these worthless windbags to office time and again.

This time it’s one Arlen Specter who got elected as a Republican and now that he knows he can’t win re-election as a Republican, switches parties and becomes a Democrat. It’s not a change of ideology. It’s not because of conscience, he obviously has none, the one and only reason he did it is for self preservation. His only motivation is re-election at any cost. Screw the people that voted for him. Screw what they want, you know, the very thing that he is supposed to be doing in his job that they put him in, representing them. His only concern is taking care of himself and hanging onto his job and he'll stoop to any level to do it.

How can this guy stand up in front of the American people and claim he is doing his job that he was elected to do when he just turned his back on everyone that voted him into office? How can anyone trust someone that just did a complete 180 degree turn from what he supposedly believes in and now, suddenly he believes just the opposite?

This man is demonstrating that he has absolutely no moral character whatsoever. He has no principles, no honor. His only motivation is selfishness. And he is a traitor. A traitor to his own morals, tenets and beliefs. He is a traitor to the people and he deserves our disgust and our disdain. He should be fired, then tarred and feathered and thrown out on his ass.

He has joined the ranks of the other worthless political hacks like Joe Lieberman, Christopher Dodd, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Roland Burris, Harry Reid and others that deserve to be voted out of office at our earliest opportunity. We need to let these people know that they can’t get away with betraying our trust. We need to let them know that we demand people of character and honor that serve us in our government and they definitely don’t fit the bill.

These people need to pay the price for their misdeeds. They need to lose their jobs. If they worked in the private sector for any respectable company, they would have been fired long ago. They probably wouldn’t be able to hold any kind of management job in the real business world. There, you actually have to do a good job to keep your job. In government, all you have to do is lie well enough to get elected and then you have a free ride for up to 6 years in office no matter how bad you do. Most of what they do for their elected term is spend other people’s money and most of their efforts are directed at how to lie, cheat and steal to get re-elected.

Re-elect? How about UN-elect? Let’s get these despicable “career politicians” out of our government.

Interesting facts from Rasmussen Reports

I follow Rasmussen Reports a bit and it’s really interesting to see some of the poll results that they report. It seems many times that there is no logic to it. For instance recently, poll results showed 21% of those polled believe Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Now, while that is a pretty low number, it’s the highest rating Congress has gotten in over a year.

The weird part is, even though the number of people that think they are doing a good job is up, so is the number of people that think most members are corrupt. So what does this say for the public at large? It seems like they think that the members of Congress, even though they’re crooks, are doing a pretty good job. Of course, that’s only 21%...

Personally, I think it shows that the people don’t like the fact that our politicians are crooks but they expect them to be dishonest. It sort of shows that most people know that if you’re a politician, you’re probably a liar and a cheat. Kind of sad when you think of it… that we have such low expectations from the very people we elect to run our country.

Anyway, here’s some more interesting facts, plus a comment or two from me…

Nearly half (49%) the nation's voters say politics in Washington, D.C. will be more partisan over the next year.

You mean they’re not believing the Obama mantra of being non-partisan? Imagine that…

Just 53% Say Capitalism is better than Socialism

That means 47% need to move to France…

Only 27% See the U.N. As America's Ally

I’m surprised it’s as high as 27%...

36% Still Say Country Headed in the Right Direction

I wonder if they’ll think so when we have double digit inflation, high interest rates, persistently high unemployment and taxes through the roof…

44% See More Tension With Other Countries Because of Economic Crisis

Huh… Ya think?

75% Oppose Release of Guantanamo Inmates in the United States

And guess what… Your government is not listening to you and they don’t care what you think…

54% Count On U.S. Business Leaders More Than World Leaders To Help U.S. Economy

Gee, what a coincidence, it’s only one percentage point away from the people that think Capitalism is better than Socialism…

60% of U.S. voters now have an unfavorable opinion of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, including 42% Very Unfavorable

Of course, 100% admit she’s a lunatic, but 40% think she’s doing a good job…

81% Say Neither Madoff Nor His Wife Should Keep Any Money

The other 19% want him to be let out of jail so they can invest with him…

And when it comes to illegal immigration and tightening our borders?

79% Support U.S. Troops on the Border to Fight Drug Violence
68% Say Those Who Employ Illegal Immigrants Should Be Punished
73% Say Cops Should Check Immigration Status During Traffic Stops

Pretty big numbers I’d say. Guess what, the Obama administration isn’t going to listen to the voters on this one either.

How about “Card Check”? (doing away with the secret ballot to vote for or against a union)

61% Say Secret Ballot Is a Fair Way To Vote For A Union
Just 9% of Non-Union Workers Want to Join Union

9% huh? I wonder what the percentage would be with Fat Tony and Louie the Lip “helping” you vote?

And finally…

In March, the number of Democrats in the nation fell two percentage points…

Hey, you mean people are starting to wise up?

Wait a minute…
…the number of Republicans fell by half-a-point.

YES, people ARE starting to wise up! They’re starting to realize that the Republicans are almost (not quite) as bad as the Democrats. Can you say “Libertarian”?
