Senators knew they were getting special treatment

Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn) and Sen. Kent Conrad(D-ND) were both told they were getting special deals from Countrywide on their mortgages.  Yet they have continually lied about it.  Gee no surprise here.  People like Dodd and Conrad are the reason why this country is so messed up.  They feel that since they are Senators that they are special.  They feel as if they are elite, and worthy of more than the average citizen.

This is why they feel like it’s okay to use taxpayer money to buy themselves re-election after re-election.  They deserve it.  They are special.  So when the VIP guys from Countrywide offer them a sweet deal on their real estate they believe that it’s perfectly justified, even though Senate ethics rules specifically prohibit such activities.

Rules? To hell with the rules!  This is why we need to get rid of all these damn politicians and start fresh.  If we ousted every single incumbent in the next election it would send a message to the 60+ Senators and the President to LISTEN TO US and quit jerking us around!

The whole reason that these people are in office is to serve themselves and not the American People.  They live for VIP deals, campaign contributions, bribes, escorts, and free stuff.  Their entire decision making process revolves around how they can dupe the American people (or the people of their state or congressional district) into voting for them again.  Sometimes it involves earmarks, sometimes it involves class warfare.  Whatever it is they just want to keep the freebies rolling in.  They think their celebrities and they deserve it. 

Yep, they deserve it alright.  We’re talking about a congress who hasn’t had an approval rating above 30% in probably three or four years but they deserve it alright.  They deserve a swift kick to the backside and a shoe print on their posterior as we politely remove their sorry, corrupt, money-sucking, power hungry butts from office.
