Having spent four years in DC representing the fleet I came to see just how bureaucrats operate. They are perfectly ready to take credit for anything that goes right whether they are deserving or not, and will run like rats when something goes wrong. Their responsibilities and obligations are treated as something attended to when convenient and when not convenient they will look for every excuse under the sun to justify their ‘no-nothing’ attitude. This is pronounced especially when they are dealing with sub-humans…those who are incarcerated.

Sarah, I too have been a lifetime Republican but I am more and more often starting to question for what purpose many Republicans are running for office and are they there to serve the citizens they represent or are they there to promote themselves? Are they there to build up or tear down various groups of citizens? Many seem to be oblivious to facts. And many who vote for them let fear and paranoia make decisions for them. Then we have the Democrats who support an agenda of abandonment of self responsibility and try to buy votes using taxpayer money while supporting policies and laws that smack in the face of our Judeo/Christian national foundations. I could never support their agenda. Maybe it’s time to start a write-in campaign for Alfred E. Newman. At times not being able to vote may be a blessing. My conscience would lead me away from both parties.

SarahF,

Don’t be so quick to jump on the Democrat side. They are no better. And they’re also the “just believe her” side. They want people put in prison without any evidence other than “she said”.
When it comes to politics, neither side is going to change anything bad that happens to those with sexual offenses. We’ve said it time and time again that it would be “political suicide” for them. Both parties.

I have always been a strong conservative Republican, but it has been the Republicans who have done this to us. Looking to Democrats now.
