Chump Change Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Why not name Joe Mesi as Senator. He's probably brighter that that Kennedy lady and he could literally kick some azz up there in the Senate if anyone screws with NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Why anyone would want to get into politics is beyond me. Thats easy. Make a $h1tload of money. Get great connections. Payoffs. Easy money. Now compare that to a person who goes into business for themselves. Making, lets say tv wall mounts. Have a big capitol investment. Equipment. Building costs. Mortgage or rent, services(electricity, trash, water etc). Employee issues. Employee costs. Servicing loans for all of it. Environmental agencies and on and on. Who in the hell would want to go through all that to be a producer in society and employ people when you can leach off the state and make more money?

Nanker Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 That's all BS. The REAL reason she dropped out was because someone clued her in that she would have to spend a substantial amount of time in Washington, DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Uh, it's easy and you can make a lot of money without ever doing anything. Oh, there are easier ways to make money including moving to AK for those oil royalties or being the grandaughter of a bootlegger. Politicians don't make a lot of money, and most leave DC with a pension and a few benefits, but considering what they have to put up with, unless they steal like Stevens and what is his name from SoCal, they aren't getting rich. They do okay, but the hours suck, the amount of brown permanently stained on their noses never goes away and it takes at least 10 years off your life expectency... Ask Palin... she only ran for office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
