Well, Lively the Lovely, you might be right again!(mark your calender, and celebrate it once a year). I've noticed myself, that when a 'news' story breaks here, about virtually anything, within the first paragraph, always includes the consideration of that particular politician's CAREER, more that it does about the issue of how he just fucked up the people's trust that he just violated! Here, as I'm pretty sure, there, we only have the best politicians that money can buy!..and of course their political career takes priority, above anything else! It's pretty crooked here..and most Americans know it! Here, it is a common sensibility to 'vote for the lesser of two evils'! I prefer to vote my conscience, which, of course, usually not any of the front runners!..Oh, and by the way, I've been rudely, and stupidly criticized, on here, for doing just that....BY BOTH SIDES!!!
Adlai Stevenson, who ran for President four times here, in the 50's and 60's gave us his most quotable quotes, in his long career..."By the time a man is nominated for President, he is no longer fit for the job!"
Need I say more??
