No matter your side...one would have to agree that most, if not all politicians tell a teensy-tale. Some more than others - no doubt. Politics is like a game of Scrabble

scrabbled eggs and hams 
politics - both opponents 
using made up words

Diplomacy is their game and a reputation they often gain. You describe politics exactly as they are , a game of scrabble, which incidentally I love! Great write Charlie. Blessings, Jennifer.

I believe the voters are to blame...the politicians are their image...they give the people what they want...you can imagine what the breakfast will be...

wisely stated...and we all know campaign promises are rarely ever kept exactly as made because it does not solely rest on just their decision ... enjoyed this Charlie, now i want an omelet :) hugs

We seem to think we never lie or never stretch the truth. Baloney. We are the ninnys who put them in office. Or have we forgotten? If we expect perfection...will never happen. That's insane. They are nor monarchs. They have to work with others. And we can vote them out. Panagiota xx many parties to vote for. Politicians are neither Santa Claus nor saints...nor are any one of us.
