"Integrity is the lifeblood of democracy. Deceit is a poison in its veins."Integrity:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Source:Brookings Institution, April 5, 2004.
“People like elected officials with guts who say what they mean... I stand by what I said, I didn’t violate any House rules. I didn’t do anything inappropriate. I’m not under any pressure at all.”Deceit:
Rep Alan Grayson (D-FL) during a press interview on September 30, 2009
“If the public option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote because I believe debt can break America and send us into a recession that’s worse than the one we’re fighting our way out of today. I don’t want to do that to our children and grandchildren.”
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to FOX News Sunday host Chris Wallace, November 9, 2009.

Someone posted this yesterday and I thought it was quite interesting. We, the rational thinking people of the world, keep thinking in rational terms…which could be our downfall.

MsJoanne, when the rational and irrational come into conflict, the irrational always has the initial edge. Rational people have a difficult time understanding irrationality, expect it is a fixable thing. Irrational people have none of those constraints and are fully capable of some seriously whacked behavior.
The long haul always favors rationality because it is self-sustaining. It just means cleaning up the mess after taking the hits.
