Agree or Disagree: Political leaders usually act in the best interest of their country.
I disagree. Following the Democratic primaries, I've realized that the candidates are more interested in votes than anything else. It makes sense, but it would nice if they could utter just one word not directed at one demographic or another. Take the buildup to Pennsylvania. I hadn't heard a single mention about NAFTA until the candidates realized just how much the everyday Pennsylvanian hated it.
And Congress, well. The bullshit they've pulled in recent years is astounding. The scandals, the pork barrel clauses, Jack Abramoff. I just can't imagine them putting this country over their own personal interests. Even when they do start investigating stuff, pushing for important bills, it seems to coincide with elections.
Your thoughts?

All I have to say is that I have lost all faith in our government, as well as my belief that some politicians actually tell the truth.
You...your such a gibuis! But anyway, make a good depate and i'm in.
