Politicians are strangers who try to convince you that you should trust them. [View all]

When I vote for one of these politicians and they turn out to protect my interests, why, then they probably are worth my trust. My bet paid off.

But when I vote for one of them and they fuck me over? Then I'm being played.

America in 2013 can be summed up with "Do what I want or hit the bricks." That's the rules I have applied to me every day in this country. No reason why I'm not going to pass the goodness onto my elected representatives if they chose to piss on my boots and tell me it's raining.

I guess some people don't mind that kind of shit, though. That's just being a sucker.
