If you ever want to know what politicians think of you, here's an example: What would happen if your drove your car 100 mph in a 70 mph zone? Big ass ticket, right? But if you're a politician, you're not ticketed at all. South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer was stopped for doing 100 in a 70 mph zone. He'd earlier denied the reports, but when a news organization learned he had been stopped for speeding two times in the last four months and not ticketed, he decided to come clean. "I made a mistake, I am embarrassed by these events, and I accept responsibility for having a lead foot," Bauer said in a statement that did not refrence the earlier denial. Had he been charged and convicted of the two tickets, he would have had 10 points against his driver's license, two short of suspension.

They hate us. We're the sheep, they're the shepherds. They can do whatever they want because they make the laws. Republicans and Democrats both.
