I knew there was corruption on both sides, because the government is crooked, and those that live in glass house's better not throw rocks. It's a shame that we the voters can't rescind some of the presidents powers, or get term limits passed.
For the people, by the people doesn't seem to mean much to a modern day politician.
It's because we, the people, keep giving them power. There is no reason a person should make a career out of politics, but we keep voting them in again and again. Olympia Snow (R, Maine) whom I really respect, has been in office since I was in high school (late 90's). Everyone in power here in ID, whom I don't respect, has been in power since I've been here (six years), and we've been through several election cycles. They're not going to give themselves term limits, and therefore, it's we, the people, who are going to have to start instituting that.
