Question: What happens when a mere human is given power to legislate undeterred, access to billions of non-accountable dollars, and has their feet planted in the sewer that is big Washington politics so deep that you can smell the putrescence from their breath every time they open their mouth? Well....you get Chris Dodd.
Controversy is nothing new to this very well tenured Senator from Connecticut. He has had his share of documented problems ever since he was on the take back in the 80's.
The problem with someone like Dodd is he is so disconnected from the "real world" and is so entrenched in stench he has no business legislating important economic decisions affecting BILLIONS of people.
The framers of the constitution always believed in the beauty of the system they created. They believed that if a servant of the people misbehaved, they would be voted out of office. They also believed that "servants of the people" would never betray their constituents due to the fact that after their service expired, they would be mere citizens having to live by the system of rules to which they helped create. Not so much in today's political world...
Folks, there's a reason why Senators and Congressmen are elected, go to Washington as noble citizens, and come out of the Washington meat grinder as snooty, wealthy, well-to-do elitists. It's because they wade through the muck of sick politics, become "the fortunate one's", and then(like any human would be tempted) they take advantage of the system they were sent to serve. So, just imagine what happens when you're wading through this cesspool of sin and corruption for 35 YEARS! Imagine hell or purgatory, except for now you get the "room with a view", temporary ventilation from the stench, and quick access past the throngs of soulless throwing themselves at your feet.
The Constitution framers, notwithstanding the huge increase in life expectancy nowadays compared to 1776, never thought that members of congress would setup permanent camp and residency in Washington. Who the hell would want to? It stinks like feces, you have to sell your soul to get a water fountain in your district, and the only friends you can make are those that want something from you. Yes folks, it's time to rethink career politicians. Who would do this for 35 years? Who, you might ask? Any crook that wants infinite power and influence at any expense, that's who!
