They make these decisions that contradict what we want them to do because they supposedly are smarter and in a better position than us to make these decisions. However, it appears that isn't the case. For example, Speaker Pelosi is saying that she was misled about the interrogation tactics that were being used on detainees. Is that so?!?!?! Really!?!?!? Well I hope that she learned her lesson, and I hope everyone else who was misled did too. Otherwise, they could be led into voting for the largest stimulus package of all time without really knowing what was in it or reading the fine print.
Next time you go into vote, don't look at these people as celebrities or as people who are any smarter than you. They blame others for their problems, don't ask enough questions when they should, and sign their name without reading the fine print. They're no better (but could possibly be worse) than the rest of us.
