WASHINGTON – A deeply unpopular Congress is bolting for the campaign trail without finishing its most basic job — approving a budget for the government year that begins on Friday. Lawmakers also are postponing a major fight over taxes, two embarrassing ethics cases and other political hot potatoes until angry and frustrated voters render their verdict in the Nov. 2 elections.
This is yet another example of what the modern politician in America has become: a spineless coward, who waffles on positions left and right based on "handlers" and polls to try and walk what they see as the perilous course of American public opinion so they can coninue to get reelected term after term after term. They do this because they have no skills to speak of- their resume includes wearing a suit, having professionals take care of their personal hygiene, smiling for the camera and reciting platitudes selected from the party's platter.
Get with the program! We are sick and tired of useless "public servants" who want nothing more than to keep your hands on power and wring every last personal advantage out of it.
YOU have an issue with the budget- BALANCE IT.
YOU have an issue with taxes- LOWER THEM.
YOU have an issue with ethics- SOLVE IT.
Learn how to be a "public servant" and you might actually stay in office. Fail to learn this lesson, and... well, I hope you can translate smiling for the camera into touring the motivational speaker circuit. Perhaps you can tell them how to lose with grace.
