For far too long we have relied on, to quote from the Tennessee Williams
play. "A Streetcar Named Desire", "the kindness of strangers" when those
"strangers" were and are not responsible with the faith and trust we placed
in them.
That Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana could, without hesitation, correct a
reporter when asked about what the reporter thought was $100 Million that
was written into the "Health Care Reform" legislation by Majority Leader
Reed for Louisiana in return for her support of bringing the Health Care
Reform Bill to the floor for debate by stating that it was in fact, $300
Million, and not be immediately placed in hand-cuffs for accepting a bribe
with public money, only shows how little concern this "elected elite" has
for public opinion or the use of the public treasury. That Senator Reed did
not immediately join her in the back of the squad car shows how accepting of
this corrupt behavior we have become, after all, "they all do it", and how
ignorant the senator, the reporter and the general public are of the
Constitutional responsibilities of our elected "representatives" and the
citizenry.
It is our government if only we would take it back.
WHEN WILL BE ALL SAY, "ENOUGH"?
