What's Wrong With This Picture?

[former Rep] Chip Pickering, like Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, has lived in a Christian fellowship home on C Street. Both Ensign and Sanford have been the subjects of adultery scandals in recent weeks. Ensign had an eight-month affair with a former campaign aide, Cindy Hampton, and he resigned his leadership post after admitting to the relationship. Sanford secretly left the United States to met his Argentine mistress, setting off a national furor over his disappearance.

Pretty much everything. hypocrites. Blood sucking parasites.

I want a clean sweep. I want term limits on the next set to mve into the cesspool of D.C. In fact, I do not want lawmakers isolated in D.C. anymore. There's a worm there that eats their brains, their ethics, and plays merry havoc with their moral compass. I want lawmakers to telecommute so that the army of lobbyists that has placed itself between our representatives and us has to dilute and spread itself thin- or disappear. I do not want politicians voting themselves raises by writing them into law so that they actually get the raises automatically and have to vote NOT to give themselves raises.

I want them, and their staff-members, to regain some basic understanding of their job as representatives of, employees of, their salary paying constituents- the taxpayers.
