Fox News has a problem – making one for us too!
With Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee all making moves indicating they may run for president, their common employer is facing a question that hasn’t been asked before: How does a news organization cover White House hopefuls when so many are on the payroll?
Okay- so here is a prime example of Big and politics sleeping together. It has now gotten us into a very scary position in politics. With people running for office and being on big business payroll- it presents a HUGE conflict of interest. It also proves that politicians are out for self gain with out any regards to the true impact of their actions.
We cannot allow politicians to work both sides of the coin. Either work for the government or stay out of politics and work for the private sector.
This applies to all political parties for any of you out there wishing to blindly label one side.

Government involvement?
Here's an interesting thought that most people never really acknowledge.
I don't have an answer for this nor does seemingly anyone else, but worth mentioning especially these days of political unrest.
Most people these days say that government is much to big and its involvement is much to great. I tend to agree with this. Here's the rub.
Generally speaking it is said, leave big business alone and it will correct its self. In theory this makes a lot of sense, since in hard times business will or should try to improve its self to maintain profits, etc..
The last downturn was a prime example of big business not looking to correct its self but to windfall as much profit as fast as possible without any regards of the outcome. This seems to be a very popular trend in business these days. Okay- so the big question here is--- Why now do we ask and blame government for our economic woes when we whined about wanting them to step aside and let business run its course? Seems like a lot of people are being hypocritical.
What's your opinion on this? But ya got to be objective on your thoughts. If you pick a political side and just point your finger at one person or party, you're not being honest with yourself. This theory on how government should work is as old as our country.
