All politicians lie and have no morals

Well, another election here and gone and thank God! It is only getting worse and now even in defeat, Democrats are denying that they lost. What was it President Obama said to John McCain? Oh yeah: “The election is over, and you lost!” I really do not know why Democrats are worried the Republicans will screw it up, as no political party can help it.

They all think they know what is right for all of us, and the truth is, they have no idea, and as long as they can take more of your hard-earned money with more taxes to line their pockets, they could care less. They all lie, cheat and steal from all of us and have no morals or honor.

In my opinion, no one should be able to serve in political office unless they have served in one of the branches of the service for a minimum of five years. My reasoning behind this is because if they are so eager to send troops overseas in any little conflict, maybe they should lead by example and be there to understand what they are sending others into. Plus, the military does not tolerate liars and thieves. The military also actually understands the oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Plus, if they break the law, they go to jail, unlike our politicians.

We definitely need to set term limits, so career politicians like Boxer, Pelosi, Reid, McConnell, McCain, etc., cannot ingest like a tick on the public’s dime. My military pension is sparing, and unlike them, I get a small percentage of my final income – not 100 percent for the rest of my life. I wish I could do nothing for six years and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, with free medical care and a retirement.

I just wish the press would do its job and hold these people accountable and actually report the news like the biggest lie the American people will be paying for the rest of our life: Obamacare!
