Only politicians could wonder why it is so many folks rank their majesties with septic seep. They fail to understand the contempt so many feel for them. Because they peer at the world through lenses of the anointed, the elite.

Here are a few of the shenanigans the pols have degraded themselves with lately: In the healthcare bills they have hidden favors for kickbacks from buddies. They have snuck a stack of taxes into those bills. They have sold their votes for pork.

They promised us transparency and open discussion. They instead slop through the pig swill behind closed doors. Many times the President promised us we would see all this on C-Span. So much for promises.

They slipped a provision in the bill that bans any future Congress from repealing it. That is a spit in the face of you and your children. It is the type of deceit we expect from the Putins, Mugabes and Chavezes.

They are so arrogant as to threaten to abolish the filibuster in the Senate. Any threat to their power must be destroyed.
