Muncle, when you quote me (or probably anyone else for that matter), please don't edit the quote. I did not bold any of what I had to say, but you seemed to deem it necessary to do it for me. I was not parroting rants and raves, either, nor did I do any "research". It is common knowledge now and has been for years, that politicians receive pensions thousands above most of their constituents, excluding CEOs, etc. As for the length of time they have to "serve" to be eligible, I am not sure nor did I say that I was. As for the Burris situation, I have no idea and don't recall having anything to say about him myself. I don't claim to have answers, so I have to ask questions in an effort to learn and don't really need to get chewed out for it or for taking an interest. I do have opinions, be they right or wrong, to which I am entitled. Last time I checked, that is one freedom we still enjoy for the time being.
