I Want To Be A United States Senator, Or Congressman

I looked at these two "jobs", and I'd like to have one of them! I know, without any doubt whatsoever, that I could do either one of them, at least as well as the people who currently hold them, they are a "piece of cake!" Giving it much thought:

I can vote to pass legislation that I didn't write, and haven't read either, I can do that!

I can hire a staff, and have one of them write my legislation for me, I can do that!

I can give up Social Security, for a pension at full salary for life, I can do that!

I can give up Medicare, for treatment at taxpayer's expense, by the best doctors, in the best facilities,
I can do that!

I can live quite comfortably on $170,000.00 per year, I can do that!

I can vote to raise my own salary, I can do that!

I can [as Charlie "tax man" Rangel], "get into", driving around in a taxpayer financed and fueled, Cadillac Escalade, I can do that!

I can learn to speak out of both sides of my mouth, I can do that!

I can learn to lie, cheat, and steal, I can do that!

I can "forget" to pay my taxes, I can do that!

I can ignore my constituents, I can do that!

I can "study" Saul Alinsky, I can do that! (and have)

I can take "business trips" to exotic places, at taxpayer's expense, I can do that!

I can hold my nose, and kiss the asses of "special interest" groups, I can do that!

I can cater to the liberal media, and hollywood, I can do that!

I can bullshit with the best of them, that comes from being a retired police officer, I can do that!

Uh oh! I can't ignore the Constituition, the Bill of Rights, "Old Glory", or the Founding Fathers, I can't do that!

And, I can't turn my back on our military, I could never do that!

So in closeing, I could do most of the things that those legislators do, some of them despicable;

but I could never "turn" on this Nation, or its military, no I couldn't be a United States Senator or Congressman, because then I couldn't face myself in the mirror every day, I just couldn't do that!
