There is no such thing as an "honest" politician.
You have to have a natural aptitude to lie and cheat to become one - it's a prerequesite.

They are only in it to further their own interests and feather their own nests.
None of them give a fuck about the ordinary people. Not a single one.
And when was the last time you saw a 'poor' politician??
Even those that are disgraced manage to amass a small fortune that Joe Schmoe can only dream about.


"Honest"??? Pah!! Dream on.

Whats a liberal then? incidentally the article is abit shit and makes him sound like one of your pinko loving communist sympathizers who install Russia's stooge and hates all liberals.

Thats the gist of your twat of an article and you/article rationalize he is an honest liberal because he hates all liberals.

FD I am inclined to agree almost all politicians are corrupt but I tend to err a mite away from 100%.

A liberal in this context is anybody even slightly to the left of the hard/loonie/alt-right speaker: this is the American usage of liberal, which is eschewed in the rest of the world, and even by some Americans who can afford a dictionary and/or have a single clue about political theory.

Related, also related to the dead snowflakes thread

quote:

Michael Goodwin:

Democrats wage anti-Trump offensive for their own gain

This is a first: Donald Trump is guilty of an understatement, of making a molehill out of a mountain. He called the Washington furor over Russian hacking a “witch hunt” when it is actually far more sinister and dangerous.

Witch hunts end. The Washington mob aims to make sure the election never ends and that Trump can never govern.

There are no modern precedents to the scandalous attempts to smear and undermine the president-elect. Nearly nine weeks after his victory and less than two weeks before he takes the oath, the voter-nullification plot is growing more vile.

It began when the Clinton campaign and her donors tried to overturn results in key states, then tried to steal the election outright by intimidating electors of the Electoral College.

When all that failed, the establishment forces that opposed Trump all along — the Obama White House, members of both parties, the Democratic media and Big Government activists — switched their goal to thwarting his presidency. One example: They aim to deny confirmation to as many as eight Cabinet picks.

This is not mere politics. This is half the country going rogue in a fit of madness....

Goodwin doesn't seem to offer any explanation of why anything he's alleging is worse than stopping a state-wide recount illegally, oddly enough.
