And this is assumed fact. This is exactly what everyone expected of the liberal lawyer.

Wolfdog91 you started this post by asking why people were so wrapped up in politics and it has fallen into a my side your side like always. Human nature is what's wrong . Some people just have to pretend they have the answers.

Politics is everywhere and always has been and always will be. Poli is Greek for "of the people" It is just a matter of how pervasive we want it to be and also how biased we want it to be to fit the opinions of all of us and it is not just a USA thing. Politics in all nations, cultures, religions etc. We are obviously not getting any better at finding civil ways to govern or live with the differences we have. We are fortunate in the US that we can ahve really rigid political differences and still find ways to live, work and grow as a society. There are a lot of nations that are unable to do that. When there is little to lose and not much to gain in sight then chaos and anarchy are not much worse then what one has at the moment.

Both Obama and Trump proved that a President can accomplish something if the Senate and House are spineless and go along with it, but if you have people with backbone in Congress the President is basically a talking head. He can make deals with foreign powers, (this, foreign policy in general, by the way is why I believe Paul is best where he is) but in most cases that still has to be approved by Congress.
The last two administrations have constantly went on, and the media echoed and amplified, calls for Congress to "do something" and quit blocking all "progress" proposed by the administration. Meanwhile I was thinking, they are doing something, as a constitutent I WANTED my representatives to "block progress" on things like Federal Healthcare. I'm assuming Democrat voters wanted the same thing of their representatives when Trump was in office. This is the checks and balances built into the system by the framers. Meanwhile those in positions of power want the brakes taken off their drive for whatever they want to push through.


I love the smell of gridlock in the morning. It smells like victory!

That's kind of my point. None of them are principled people. A few are more than others are but still not reliably principled.

There are no heros to be found in government. I vote for who will affect me (including taxes) and my rights the least.


I'll admit I don't follow day to day activities of Washington DC, if you would, could you give a particular instance or two where Senator Paul has "pivoted" as you put it?

For the record I'd prefer a candidate such as his father although I don't believe a person in their 80s is qualified anymore to be president of the US.
