Anyone else tired of the need for Senate investigative hearings?
They've been around and active through several administrations now! Are there any uncorrupted people left in politics?

I believe it was humorist Will Rogers who said, "An honest politician is a contradiction in terms."

A politician is an individual who is a formally recognized and active member of a government, or a person who influences the way a society is governed through an understanding of political power and group dynamics. This includes people who hold decision-making positions in government, and people who seek those positions, whether by means of election, coup d'état, appointment, electoral fraud, conquest, right of inheritance (see also: divine right) or other means.

I was impressed by Jim Webb (D-VA) when he answered the state of the union address but then he is very new to politics...but then again if he follows the rest of congress he will be corrupt in no time!
In my opinion there are very few members of our government with good moral character.....this begins with the president and goes all the way thru state politicians!

My Congressman, soon to be head of Ways and Means, Lloyd Doggett for one is honest.

doubtful Isn't it amazing that the money being made over there is mainly Halburton company owned by Chaney.
Who is making money off this war? Isn't it funny that most oil companys are owned by Republicans.

Almost every single democratic country has this problem. I don't think that honesty will established at political level.
