This is bordering on banned camp territory but it ties in to what you just said so here goes

In my mind and opinion the Republican politicians and hopefuls on the upper state and national political levels have never pretended that they were anything but wealthy upper class people and generally white

On the other hand the Democratic hopefuls on the same path have almost ALWAYS portrayed themselves as the friend of the working man and the downtrodden, but were generally just as well off as the Republicans they accused of being "privileged", all while portraying themselves as part of that downtrodden and oppressed target audience

I don't think Nancy Pelosi and all her kind live in third hand single wides and have 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, yet the very people they seem to be courting for support eat up their rhetoric with a spoon

This is just my perception and I am not looking down on anyone, the boss and I lived in a single wide and had to eat commodity cheese for a few years of our life together and we were both either working or she was still in school; we have been there and done that
No lies detected.

Why does is it so damn hard to get a government that actually represents US?

Because we have created a situation where politics is just a springboard for self enrichment down the road

There is no altruism and nobility left in public service

I m not saying that people like that don't RUN for office, sadly they generally get buried by the monied political machine and never get a chance to do the good they intend

That and the vast majority of the people in this country are too busy watching reality TV and eating too much as a way to anesthetize themselves from their day to day struggle, and are soooooo easily led around by their nose when it gets down to time to vote

One of my very best friends in the world came up from Florida for a few days......I hadn't seen him in 25 years. Since we buried his brother. I took yesterday off to spend the day with him and his wife. I'm fixin to take out of here and spend the rest of the day gathering everything together for a country boil tomorrow. Let's get busy living fellas.

I'm waiting on my wife to get done with work so we can head 2 hours south to meet up with my parents and some friends to spend the weekend making noise on the motorcycle.
