18. Why not do what is right and fuck worrying about re-election?

That's what really pisses me off about these wussies. They're afraid to do the right thing because they're more concerned with their own job than with whether or not the country is healthy. Show some guts, do the right thing and force the fools he's afraid of in his/her district to accept what is good for them. They'll come around when they see the benefits, even if it costs the politician their seat in the short term.

But none of them do that, ever. My suspicion is that they never had any intention of doing the right thing. That they are as owned as any corporate republican.
