once they've been through the political system long enough and realize how corrupt it is
I think Hagel is in that category. Need I remind you, he quit. I don’t believe he is such a talented actor that he was faking his senate rants. If he is, he better get into the acting business immediately. Right Dirigo?
Perhaps he is not acting, if so then his lack of moral courage heretofore was enough to make a dung beetle turn up its nose.
Just how damn long does one have to spend in the political system to realize it is corrupt to the core?
I've never been involved in politics other than some dealings with the local school board and other aspects of local government and it blindingly obvious to me that politics is corrupt.
My level of respect for those who wait until they are out or going out of the system to criticize it is just about nil.
