Don't hold your breath Kate. When people make there CAREERS in politics we the people get screwed. When someone spends 60 million on a job that pays 200K it smells kinda funny to me.

Absolutely! Just look at how much $$ is spent in all these political races. I mean a million bucks or more of bribe money for a senate seat in Illinois is the latest.

All this $$ to get a job whether it be president, senator, or even lower political offices so they can get power and connections. It is not about serving we the people. If they are willing to spend millions to get these jobs, imagine the amount of money and power they expect to get in return.

Here is the problem... they are ALL corrupt... and if they were not when they start...they typically are by the time they get the power and the means to get that power. So we're sort of doomed.

Christie, I'm sure, will have plenty of his own skeletons. Look at Spitzer... oh, yeah, Mr. Clean and reformer. Yeah, my @rse.

Hmmm Spitzer, my take..if he hadn't so zealously went after the sleaze business I don't think it would have come back to bite him so hard....
