April 27: 'E' Word Is Back
RANT: Ah, the "e" word has been brought out into the limelight. Elitist, that is. What all have been failing to mention is that basically all of those in Washington fall into that category.

The vast majority of congress are lawyers and we know what their reputation has become (apologies to my lawyer friends). They have lost touch with the common man/woman as they are whisked about in limos, wined and dined by a seemingly endless supply of unscrupulous lobbyists, vote themselves raises without compunction, and add earmarks/pork to any and all bills entered for votes, plus their patriotism falls into question daily.

The liberal agenda they propose goes against the grain of those that put them in office. Plus they hobnob with celebrities of the same ilk and are boastful about it.
