Did you have anyone in mind, specifically? Should Bush go out and fix walls at the VA Hospital. I am sure he caused all of the problems. Should Pelosi explore for cheaper oil? Anyone person you want to blame for the murder rate? Health care? When did it become a government responsibility?
Give us some specifics and we will go after those slackers.

In real life, unfortunately a human being is worth only what he has in money. The same applies to other things in life. If not telling the truth had a mandatory 50 years sentence without the possibility of a pardon, than it would have had value like drug trafficking or murder, but it does not. So no, it means nothing much in our society.

How accountable are you to your own life? Answer that question then you go out and get involved in politics and change that. You be the example and I'd vote for you every day and twice on Sunday. There are a lack of good examples who are held accountable to their word, but I say, start from the inside (yourself / myself) out (affecting others). But complaining about it only makes the problem worse. There are enough people who feel the same way, get them to vote for you.

Americans are bombarded daily with stories of crime and corruption at every level of society and government. By the time they become furious over one issue here comes another. Life is fast and hard with modern communication .like it or not!!

Not to the left and many on the right.
DC the belt way is like the black plague and they both are taking us their and it is up to us to kick out the left then get people on the right that have guts.

lol the truth is whatever you see on TV. If the media played images of Russia invading california guess what.. 90% of the country would belive it, because we dont know any better. We belive what we see, CNN owns you.

to a lot of politicians, truth means nothing, it's all about money or power or both.

Sadly, not much any more.
Popular opinion seems much more important than truth.
