Please comment: Do you think the crazy acting politicians really believe what they say?
Or do you think they know its hyperbole but they say it because it gets the kooks who vote for them all stirred up?

I'm talking about people like Delay, Palin, Bachmann, Blackburn, McHenry, Foxx, and others of that ilk.

4. Well As Can Be Expected, My Friend
I move around when it cannot be avoided. Typing is about the heaviest exercise I get as yet.

Do, Sir, try and avoid getting yourself into the by-pass circuit; it is like having a chestful of broken ribs....

2. No, they're actors on a stage like the puppets in an old Punch & Judy show
Entertaining the rubes so the people behind them can rob the audience blind.

Its what they are there for.

7. NO, and I've thought for many years,
we shouldn't expect ANY politicians believe what they say because we CAN'T KNOW that about ANYONE. We can only know by what people DO!
