The truth about politics

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

No matter which "side" you think you are on, no matter which party you think you most identify with, I think the quote below sums up most accurately the truth about politicians in general.

"The politicians of all parties, despite their superficial enmities, are really members of one great brotherhood. Their principal, and indeed their sole, object is to collar public office, with all the privileges and profits that go therewith. They achieve this collaring by buying votes with other people's money. No professional politician is ever actually in favor of public economy. It is his implacable enemy, and he knows it. All professional politicians are dedicated wholeheartedly to waste and corruption. They are the enemies of every decent man." ―H. L. Mencken

Useless cynicism.

Let other people run the country, because you're too lazy to take responsibility yourself or to do anymore than vote along party lines for shallow reasons.
