Quote:You confuse statesmen with politicians.  There is no redeeming quality in a politician.  None.  Nyet.  Zilch and Zero!  They only look out for themselves and those that got them into office.  A statesman however has a real job outside of the Beltway, looks out for the people and not the $.  Sadly there are none these days

 

That's an incredibly ignorant statement. You profess to know the pluses and minuses of each Representative and Senator?

 

You are part of the problem, not the solution. Just spouting blather and pretending you have a clue. So when was this golden age when all politicians were "statesmen" and not "politicians"?

 

I guess you'd much prefer a dictatorship? You don't seem to have much knowledge about democracy.
