If there are honest politicans and I am sure there is one or two that were "honest" . Abe Lincoln, Jimmy Carter, Regan, played a great role as an honest politican, the one's that are honest are so honest that no one belives that they are honest, and the dishonest are so dishonest that everyone knows but are so dishonest that they get away with things. A catch 22, damed if you are honest, rich if you are not.
