Thanks John for being Politically Incorrect

It’s about time someone on commercial TV addressed some of the real issues going on in Washington.  I am referring to the John Stossel’s 20/20 report Friday, October 27th.  I believe that Americans are basically good.  When given the choice, we would rather see all people enjoy prosperity, live harmoniously in a safe and clean environmentand have equal opportunities.  However, politicians (first with the visions of serving the public  good and then after serious indoctrination, with the illusions of grandeur and power) corrupt the American dream.  It never ceases to amaze me that an idea that starts with the best of intentions, once touched by special interest groups and seasoned politicians, turns into a huge expense for the American taxpayers and does little to solve the original problem it was designed to fix.  How does this happen?  Does the political arena attract only the genetically corrupt?  Have Americans stopped being the watchdogs of the government?  Or, is there something else amiss here? I have heard that when a “newbie” gets to town in Washington, the Senate or the House leader always has them in for a personal visit and then gives them a veiled threat that they cooperate with the party or else!  If they don’t, then no good committee assignments for them, etc.  All of their noble and generous aspirations are quickly scuttled.  It is so sad to think that people I respect and admire might have had to sell their souls to the party devil in order to stay in office just so they could do some good.  The voting public needs to be educated about what really is going on in Washington.  Now, more than ever, we need boyscout-style leadership; not party had puppets.  Thanks John, I hope that this is just the first of many shows to come that address the issues of what is wrong in government.  I love the American Dream and think everyone should have their piece of the pie but I hate to support those who take more than their fair share, especially when they know they are getting away with something or causing others to sacrifice.  Commercial TV has a responsibility to the American viewer to educate the masses with the truth.  I think now, more than ever, people want to know how to fix it and protect ourselves from ending up here again.  I hope that this is a new phase in journalism.  It’s a great start, please continue.’; //leave this line
