Do you think the solution is to end the congressional page program?

I have heard some say that this program should just be ended, but isn't the better solution to just get dirty old men out of Congress? What do *you* think??

Answer 1

I think if your child is bright and wants to go into politics you have to be sure not to try to overprotect them. I would not let my kid leave me without telling him how to spray mace, call the New York Times and have an open ticket home ...anytime. Welcome to politics.

Answer 2

I think the solution is for the politicians to be prosecuted on the spot. It seems that we don't have these problems in state capitals which all have this program. What does this say about congress? Maybe it's time for an independent internal affairs division that hunts down all these sleazy scandal prone politicians like internal affairs in a police department hunts down bad cops.

Answer 3

Get rid of the dirty old men. The page program has given many young people a taste of politics.

Besides if you got rid of the page program then the predators would just go to another "hunting ground." It isn't their fault, that dirty old men go after them, the fault lies with the dirty old men.

Answer 4

Assuming the page pool is the only place where pedophiles can locate post-pubescent boys, yes, this is a good idea.

Answer 5

I was a page in WV lets just say people are for sale because their parents are desperate for money or power.

Answer 6

If we put an end to useless Representative Government their won't be a need for this & much more of their corruption!

Answer 7

Yes vote for just women i don't know if they'll be any better but lets try it..

Answer 8
