    The government we deserve

    "we have no one to blame but Feinstein, Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, Clinton" The blame doesn't fully rest with Feinstein, Schumer, Pelosi, Reid etc. Really the blame rests with us. We elected these people. We (those who vote) created a system where politicians have to behave a certain way if they have any hope of getting elected and staying in office. Everyone loves to blame the politicians but lets get real here. Its our fault. You get the representation that you deserve and frankly we deserve these people. We reward courage in our leaders by voting them out of office.
