So, you admit that you apply different rules to different groups? Interesting. I do not absolutely trust all members of any group. I honestly think that a majority of politicians start off with admirable intentions. Most politicians that directly impact my life are at the local or state level. At those level of government, I do not think the corruption is as bad as it is on the national level. I will admit that in the past, I have made some disparaging remarks about all politicians, usually to get a laugh, but that does not make it right, and in those cases, I was wrong to make those comments. But, in reality, would I treat a politician any differently, in a face to face, meeting based on the fact that some politicians are 'dirty'? I would like to think I would not.
