Senator Caught Trying to Solicit Sex in Men's Room

Ditto Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Abe Lincoln, U.S. Grant. And those are just the Republicans. The people's party, The Democrats, must have loads of politicians with humble origins... Actually Andrew Jackson is the only one I could think of (besides Brother Clinton). Jimmy Carter was a cracker from Georgia but he lived pretty well compared to most of his neighbors-peanut subsidies you know. Kennedy was wealthy but as an Irish Catholic was never accepted by the "good people" of Boston. That must have been a terrible hardship. Likewise FDR was well connected but he had polio - and Eleanor. Poverty would have seemed downright alluring to him at times I suspect.

At any rate I don't think there is any evidence that commom people make better leaders than rich people.

thats because once they start rising with power, they start forgetting, and playing that same old political game. it takes a hell of alot of people to get someone elected to any high ranking office. then, once elected, its pay back time, qualified or not

This guy is a total loser. I mean, what kind of a sick fu#k goes in a men's room in an airport, and tries to get it on with another man??? Then you vote against gay laws?? It kind of reminds me of the movie American Beauty. Dude should just resign and go back to Idaho.

Did I say "every politician"?

But in the spirit of pulling crap out of nowhere, his wife had a huge silver spoon in her mouth.

I never said you said "every" politician. I was just providing one example of a politician who wasn't handed things on a silver platter.

How much money you have and whether you grew up wealthy is irrelevant. What's important is what's in your heart and more importantly your actions. All that is required to become a great leader is the ability to appeal to and affirm universal human qualities.

i disagree. its easier to make decisions for everyone, if you have past experience, or have walked in their shoes. no way Mitt Romney makes good decisions on the lower class. he doesn't know their needs or wants. or what its like to not have food, or money for food

i bet they never went to a public school.

I know there are a few that didn't. I was just speaking in general.
I actually know too much about Clinton and that drives me crazy. I went to college in Arkansas, and had to hear every little thing about him. It was annoying.
