John Kerry is the "botched joke" of American politics. For those of you keeping score at home, John Kerry has now called members of the U.S. military (a) stupid, (b) crazy, (c) murderers, (d) rapists, (e) terrorizers of Iraqi women and children. I wonder what he'll call them tomorrow. Whatever Karl Rove is paying John Kerry to say stupid things, it's worth every penny.

I most definitely do. The decisions that are made on the your local level are the ones, most of the time, that have the most affect on a person. Additonally, the local politicians are easier to make contact with if you have concerns and questions.

So tell me... how do YOU know they are newcomers?  Do you run to the scene of the accident and ask, "Hey, did you just come to our country?"  Get real...

Thank you for sharing your epiphany with modern day politics.  I once had the highest regard for our political powers based on what I learned from the history of our founding fathers as we all have learned and I have come to the same conclusion.  The reality of the matter is that politics is everything whether we like it or not. The stroke of a pen from a leader represents a decision for the masses even if the paperwork does not represent our thoughts and beliefs to the fullest extent. That is why we must stay on top of the game and elect our leaders as skillfully as possible.  Knowing your political roots and being able to distinguish between the issues is a self taught philosophy that your social standing forces you to entertain.  Be patient.  Be informed.  Inform others.  We shall overcome!!

No, because to me personally, I find the politicians being on a much lower level of priority than some questioner that has a problem and needs help and can only turn to Yahoo answers to get it. \n\nThis may sound a little gung ho, but I take pride and a feeling of accomplishment when I can help someone see things perhaps a little more clearly and sometimes give them the good feeling when I give them best answer. \n\nDarryl S.

I do not usually hug political opponents.  However, I will gladly greet one and discuss matters with him if he is behaving.  Our differences and desire to find common grounds in order to conduct the business of the government is a wonderful thing.

When I was in college, I spent a semester interning for my Senator.  As an intern, a big part of my job was opening and reading mail.  While most of his mail was intelligible, there was a small but significant portion that was composed entirely of crazed, semi-coherent, train of though diatribes about the government; these were often written entirely in capital letters.\n\nI'm not sure why I thought of that just now - something must have sparked my memory.

You can look at this situation in one of three ways:\n\n1) Only liars run for office.\n2) Politicians lie because of their job.\n3) Everyone lies, but politicians are the only ones whose lives we scrutinize closely enough to notice.\n\n#1 doesn't make sense - why wouldn't there be any honest people who wanted to make a difference?\n#2 doesn't make sense, what is it about serving the public good that would make ALL of them liars?\n#3 is the only plausible solution.
