Voters come second

I don't know where you have been for the last 50 or so years, but double standards have existed in the politics arena forever.

Name calling and mud slinging is what makes politicians avoid the needs of the American people. The voters have always been second when election time arrives, and as long as we keep them in office for a lifetime we should not complain about our serious living conditions that exist today and will worsen as time goes by.
