Weiner WTF?

So today we learned that another Congressman thought it was a great idea to send photos of himself to "females" he was chatting with on line, and instead of just admitting the truth up front, and getting it over with; he had to drag this ridiculous charade out for an entire week. Wasting all of our time with the tabloid news cycle and giving the media another reason not to report real news, but only the Sensational Splash news that should be on the rags in the Kroger checkout line and not National News. During that weeks time, he lied, he joked, he acted like no one cared. I have a few statements about this, and none of them pertain to the moral part of his "marriage" etc... no, I want to comment on stupidity, and how stupid we as people are to continue to elect from our current 2 parties that run EVERYTHING in our nation even though at every turn we are confronted with garbage like this. Does anyone think? I mean really think? Do we vote because of fear? Can we evolve to a time where the best candidate for a position gets the position, and it doesn't have to be based on a very few social issues that divide us as a nation or they don't need to be ultra rich? $50million on an election... C'mon, I would much rather see that money get donated to a school or good charity. This should also lead we the people to ask, what exactly is that seat worth now that people would spend that kind of money to get into it.

I have a few questions for everyone out there who can look themselves in the mirror and actually say they do their civic duty and vote in elections. I would really like anyone to consider these questions, and answer them as honestly as you possibly can.
1) How many millionaires do you know?
2) How many of those millionaires do you think have YOUR best interests in mind?
3) Do morals really matter in office, or should we judge a man the same way we do in the private sector by what he did for a company on the P&L page?
4) What happened to the times when a person went to serve his nation, or district, and didn't look to retire from Congress, but actually went to get something accomplished, and WENT HOME?
5) Since the big 3% additional taxes were not added to the rich, then where are all the jobs this "Trickle Down Economics" is supposed to give us immediately upon the rich man finding he has more money to "hire" all of us back to the payroll?

It is all BS folks.

We have become a nation of worried wimps. We worry that someone else's ideals of morals will overtake ours. We worry more about "Devils we don't know than Devils we do". We allow these people to sit in Congress and get rich by way of handouts, trips, corporate junkets, and LOBBYISTS, then retire on our dime in perpetuity. I am shocked as I hope all of you would be that we can't seem to stop electing the wayward FINANCIALLY RICH souls of our country into these positions of power over all of us. I am not even speaking to the morals of his family etc... I am speaking to this fact: if he has time to do this, WTF is he doing with the time he is supposed to be helping run our wonderful nation? Steroid probes for Baseball?

The list is endless for these scandal ridden fools. Mark Foley and his teenage gay fantasies, Larry Craig and his attempt to feel another man under the stall, Newt Gingrich who dumped a sick wife to find another and then dumped her for a younger model as well thinks he has the right to speak about traditional marriage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Q4V8WNF6k&feature=player_embedded and who also thinks he has a right to speak to morality supporting "moral marriage",  and Tom Delay who thought it was OK to take money and redistrict areas for his parties gain http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/10/tom-delay-gets-years-prison-money-laundering/, the list is endless, and there are just as many offenders from the Democrat side as Republican. When do we the people get the big broom out... not concerned with party affiliation, but concerned with the needs of the GREATER GOOD of our country? The reason we have a generation called the Greatest Generation by some is simple. These are people who learned the word sacrifice. Most were raised during the Depression, when you were lucky to have a potato to boil for the whole family to eat for a week. Kids had to get jobs working Farms,Coal sorters, Digging ditches etc for a few cents a day to help a family put food on the table... not for a new XBox game, or to go to the movies on Friday night with a date, but actually had to pitch in and help make sure the rest of the family actually ate. Then, the next step for that generation was to sacrifice for the greater good again by supporting the war effort against the REAL AXIS OF EVIL!!! Not this contrived garbage we have been fed about Iraq, Korea, and Iran, but real powers who had military might and were using it to take over the world. World War 2 led to Ration Cards,Gas Stamps, and everyone gathering all nylon, rubber, tin, metals, foods, and the ultimate sacrifice, sending their children to die in a war that involved the whole world. These people were socialists. Admit it, they lived in a free nation, but adopted Socialist behaviors to make things better for the "GREATER GOOD" of the country as a whole.When was the last time any of you thought about that? When was the last time you asked Grandma or Grandpa how hard it was to raise kids in shack in Kentucky while a war was going on overseas and they had to work the coal mines 12 hours a day to get something to eat? We have become a sick nation of self centered babies. Do people understand we had a 90% tax rate under Eisenhower, who is the father of Modern Republicans? Hmm, and we had a sustainable middle class that could actually survive and do well on one job for a whole family. Now, it is OK to have wars we don't pay for, it is OK to demand tax cuts but to also spend billions sustaining attacks on nations that have nothing to do with harming us, and in fact we put in power. http://www.marxist.com/images/stories/saddam-rumsfeld.jpg We put these people in power, and then we as lazy fools sit back and watch as they ruin everything and don't hold their feet to the fire with checks and balances built into the system. We are a sad nation on the decline folks. We need a wholehearted change in our society. Not one centered on guns and ammo, or abortion, or God in school, or Gay marriage. We need to center it on what will make our country better again. Term limits, lobbyists out, and a shot for the average Joe to get time in the Congressional halls to actually do some good for the American people.

Thank you... I look forward to comments.
