They all lie, cheat, misrepresent and play their little Reindeer games. Its all about money, power and most of all self importance. Politicians are the biggest collection of egos on the planet. There is no such thing as a selfless public servant that has anyone but their own best interests at heart. But the Gods put one little wrench in their little game that keeps them sweating, they keeps them nervous wrecks and that is the fact that every 2 to 4 years they have to publicly fight to keep their jobs and do it with an opponent that is an equal scumbag and the people that they are elected to serve are actually nothing but an annoyance and pain in the ass to them. And that is where the beauty in all this lives for us. We get to make them fucking crazy and that is why we must ride Obama's ass like a bathhouse bottom!

Seriously, Sanford left the state leaderless for several days, with no way to contact him. That's really the issue: he's unfit to be governor.

The majority of this country is still completely moderate, so I'm all for anything that makes the Repugs look more extreme.
