Obviously they play by different rules...

Bill Clinton and Gary Condit, what do these two politicians have in common? They like to have sex with interns, especially while they hold a public office. We all know the doings of Bill Clinton, so we will leave him out of this one. However, Gary Condit does not have a good excuse to refuse to answer the police's questions and he has no right to jeopardize or delay the search for Chandra Levy. If Chandra's boyfriend would have been a Godsmack-listening punk (I like Godsmack, FYI) that had green colored hair, then he would have been the first questioned. I'm not talking about delaying talks for a couple of days, I'm talking about the fact that they would have hauled his ass over to the station and put him under the lights. The reason why this case gets all the publicity is because it involves a high-ranking official. Why does it seem like they have certain exceptions? Why didn't the police go to Representative Condit and take him under the lights immediately? Why do I feel there is some double standard between citizens and their elected officials? The politicians should be comprised of the people, not the elitists. How can we look up to these politicians when we can't even count on them to tell the truth? We know that our former Criminal President Clinton lied under oath. (You try lying under oath and you will see what you get.) Why is it "ok" for the President of the United States to be able to lie under oath? He is a citizen just like you and I, who we elect to lead our country, and has to abide by the law of the land. Yet, it is all too common among our politicians who represent us to turn their back and stab us where it counts. Would you like it if someone took advantage of you, deceived you, and went around sleeping with your spouse? What if that person was elected for office by the people to represent them on the grounds of deception and screwing you around? C'mon people, wake up! We must send a signal to these politicians that the American Citizen is in charge. We must elect these officials not on the basis of their party, but solely on their character and beliefs. We elect these politicians to represent us in Washington D.C., however do you want to be represented by someone that evades the truth and obstructs justice? Does that describe yourself, a liar and two-faced individual? My point is that we elect these people to represent us, but how can they represent us truly if they do not hold to the same morals that we embrace?
