ONCE AND FOR ALL

I know most of us are fed up with our government lying to us as though we were simpletons.  Politicians of all stripes have and continue to lie.  The word "lie" has many euphemisms which they use trying to minimize and disguise this unforgivable practice.  I don't know about you, but I'm "mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore".  Equally as bad is those who report political stories about these lies, and say it with a smile on their faces, a lot like Biden smiling during a discussion about the death of four Americans at Benghazi.

There should be a separate court, not composed of congressional or political party officials, which investigates and prosecutes those who deliberately lie, or try in other ways, to deceive or mislead the public.  Further, the punishments should be more than sending them to the principal's office, it should be severe with  monetary and physical punishment.

The irony of all this is that only the liars can propose and approve laws to correct this situation.  Talk about leaving the fox to watch the hen house.  It has never been enough to just let them resign and collect their pensions and keep their health insurance, or to threaten action if they do not agree to not run for another term (Frank and Dodd).  I want them to know they should not have done that and the others to see what can happen to them.

There!! I got that off my chest.
