Even a lawmaker who sought a ban on gifts got tickets

Self Serving Servants | 8:09 a.m. Jan. 12, 2008
I thought those legislators were supposed to be public servants. They are supposed to be doing it out of civic pride and duty. Heck, if their intentions are so pure they should do it for free. But the truth shows when a couple of free concert tickets can buy them off. These folks are only there to serve themselves. I got my eyes opened at the republican convention a few years ago. Clean them out! All of them.

"self serving servants" -- that's exactly the point: they're not public servants. They only care about keeping themselves in office. Until we have a very strict term limits law, this will continue happening. We had a term limits law once, but they grandfathered themselves in and repealed the law before it was to take effect. And they wonder why there's so much cynicism and distrust of our elected officials. If they knew they were only going to serve one or two terms, they wouldn't be campaigning the day they took office and maybe they'd get something done. Throw them out! All of them.
