Reply #48: And then made vehement denials about it [View All]

if they were ever questioned or called on it at all, that is.

I don't even believe it's "half of them" any more, either!

This sort of constant and very blatant hypocrisy on the part of virtually ALL of our "elected representatives" who fail to represent US or even remember we exist once they arrive in D.C. just makes me see red.

There was a time when to call someone a hypocrite or a liar was a serious insult that required a response, but no more. Like every other righteous accusation of wrongdoing, such a cry falls on totally deaf ears. They know they've already hoodwinked us, to have gotten their asses into such cushy seats in the first place, so nothing we can do, even voting them out of office, really matters.

They've got their greedy fingers into the public till gravy train and will always have great health care and nice pensions. Most of them have gotten rich(er) and/or helped their friends and future corporate employers get rich(er).

I don't think they even care if they get an ounce of respect from the public anymore. Why should they care? It's all a rigged game, and I think they know we know it. Do they simply believe we don't care about that either?

The sickening cooperation between those representing the two parties and themselves instead of the citizens of this nation has gotten so grievously obvious I don't see how anyone can ignore it any longer.

It's now open contempt for the American people, and they might as well be saying to our faces: "Yeah? Well whaddaya gonna DO about it!" Like the thugs they are.
