Meant to say part of my feelings for them being crooks is that I have seen where there is wide unemployement, no raises, all sorts of economic hardships for their constituents and yet they turned around and voted themselves substantial raises which come out of our tax dollars. Yet when they campaigned it was all about what they were going to do help. Yea they helped by voting themselves a raise while a lot of people in their districts hadn't had raise in a couple of years because of the poor economic conditions.

I've been voting since the early '70's and have learned that most politians are nothing more than wind bags. Promise anything but deliver on nothing.
