15. EXACTLY! How can someone who doesn't believe in
Edited on Fri Apr-08-11 05:48 PM by socialist_n_TN
government be expected to govern? Or at least govern well? That's a question that they HAVE NO GOOD ANSWER FOR!

And there's really only three reasons to BE in government if you don't BELIEVE in government. 1)Ideological. You're there to shut it down. 2) Personal aggandizment. You're there for the graft. And 3) Some combo of the two. You get as much as you can for you and your cronies and THEN shut it down. Those are the ONLY logical reasons to be in government when you don't believe in government.
