Manufactured scandals prohibit public servants from doing the job they were elected or appointed to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes the scandal is not what law was broken, but what the law allows.
I don't claim any moral or ethical high ground, but I also have chosen not to run for public office. Shouldn't there be a higher standard of conduct for public officials?
Voters cannot hold officials responsible if they do not know what government is doing, or which parts of government are doing what.
I will make a general statement that we have not had anything like the policy of holding people in high office responsible for their acts that I think we should.
The presidency is not an office job.
Public office must not be a means to profit or become rich.
Scandals never stop an administration unless the media wants them to stop an administration, which means that no scandal is ever gonna stop Obama.
If there's anything a public servant hates to do it's something for the public.
There must not be favoured treatment for those occupying a position of public responsibility.
Public scandals are America's favorite parlor sport. Learning about the flaws and misdeeds of the rich and famous seems to satisfy our egalitarian yearnings.
