Quote: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.

You obviously missed my point entirely.  Your insult aside allow me to attempt to explain my statement.  A statesman has an outside interest besides political office and advancement.  He/she has roots in the community that they represent as well as an interest at to how the country fares.  A politician on the other hand has but one concern in life, getting re-elected.  They have limited knowledge of the working class, have not had a real job in several years and consider what goes on inside the beltway as real life. 

 

Dictatorship?  Geesh how did you arrive to that conclusion?

 

As to my knowledge concerning democracy, our form of government as laid out by our founding fathers is a representative republic.  You may want to look that up.
