Politicians are dangerously out of touch with reality

[evile]

From Tom DeLay asking homeless Katrina Victims "Is this kind of fun?" to Shrub's "I know it's hard to put food on your family" (how would he know? He was born wealthy, he's never been hungry a day in his life, never had to choose between buying groceries and putting gas in his car or paying bus fare so he could get to work) Mit Romney's recent "Corporations are people" statement...how many more offensive, clueless, completely lacking-in-humanity-or-empathy statements are we going to take from these clueless rich white men before it finally dawns on us that THEY ARE NOT LIKE US. Our reptilian political overlords must be deposed.

Reptilian is arguably correct, per Douglas Adams: "if they didn't vote for a lizard… the wrong lizard might get in."

Or, for the Canadian spin on it, see The Story of Mouseland.

To hear the French tell it, all it took was Marie Antoinette saying "let them eat cake" for the French populace to finally take a clue and get rid of the leeches...

All I would say is that it's not like the Democrats are very different. Obama could have spent the last three years railing against the corporations and talking about what needs to be changed. Instead we got a bunch of tepid precompromised nonsense.
