Quite brilliant, it would be nice if his constituency and others took his advice, media included (local and national).

My child I support willingly. Thieves beware when entering my home. Politicians keep voting themselves raises, pet projects, and wars at our expense. Stop it! Follow the Constitution you swore to uphold.
 -- Joe, Rochester, MI		 
... and there is a fourth group which also needs close supervision... the self-centered filthy rich who act like children, are actually thieves, and can/do buy the politicians.
 -- Anonymous, Reston, VA US		 
Goodness Mr. Anonymous in Reston, VA--you are indeed a bitter one aren't you? (Pst: jealousy is not becoming!). Dick Armey was a real joy and as one of his constituants I hated to see him retire. He did have a great idea though...the flat tax...and what made his idea so great was that there would be no payroll deduction...he said it would be best for people to write out a check to the government every month for their taxes, THEN, after the 2nd month, there would be a revolt when people finally understood just how much they pay.

Take my wife, please.

She may have been taken already - by the politicians. - lol
 -- Terry Berg, Occidental, CA		 
Without Mr. Armey's ideological blinders, he might see better. Hindsight on Enron, and a present view of broader financial mayhem, suggests that priority supervision initiatives be aimed at corporate executives.

I suspect that Anon, Reston, hates the "filthy rich" because he ain't one.

As to the quote, thieves and politicians are the same, especially with Nancy and the gang in charge.
