Are our Politicans taking first place away from 'used car sales men'?

I think so because it hurts our pocket more that buying a clunker for a few grand.
Just listen to any of them promising something just to get votes then its back to 'screwing' Americans.

I would trust any salesman over any politican.

First of all, this doesn't fall under "US Political Scandal Du Jour" and neither did your other post. Secondly, most politicians do suck. They care more about being re-elected than they do actually serving the people that elected them. The left wants to spend money on this and the right wants to spend money on that. Neither party is a true reflection of themselves from just a few years ago. The Republicans have thrown fiscal conservatism and smaller government right out the window, in fact they look more like the democratic party of 20 years ago than anything. The Democrats have allowed the loony left to sink their teeth into the party and are taking the craziest of positions on several issues. The democratic party has turned into something it wasn't supposed to be either. Both parties have given into special interests (which I believe is the most dangerous issue in politics today) to the point where beliefs and doing the right thing hasn't taken a back seat to appealing to special interests, it was thrown out the window like a cigarette they just finished going down the highway at 75 MPH. As far as trusting a used car salesman over a politician, I'll trust neither and so should you.

I agree with everything you stated here and I don't trust either of them also but my point was, which is the worse of the 2.
But why shouldn't it be under 'scandal'.
