what can we do about political corruption?- BLOG POST 4

Political corruption - when government officials use their governmental powers for illegitimate private gain. Misuse of government power for other purposes. like repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is not considered political corruption. The 2008 campaign for The Presidential Election is winding down, and time is running out for the politicians. Any little mistake or mess up could ruin that persons chances of entering the white house and leading our country. After researching political corruption, and ways to stop it I came up with a conclusion. Our system whether its the police system, federal system, or whatever power the need be used. They have to use stronger and better punishments for any type of behavior of corruption. Politicians are some of the most untrust worthy groups you'll find representing a congregation of people. But we as THE PEOPLE have to play our role also, we cant let such people get into system by feeding us one thing and doin another. For example President Bush, he was nominated as republican and once he won his presidencey race and begin to so called ( lead the county) voters quickly begin to see his true colors. But what really threw him unfer the bus was when he asked congress to declare war, and he sent troops to Afganistan. The counrty and maybe even a bit of the world was shell shocked and frightened by such a decision, that in the future would take lots of innocent lives. Bu honestly theirs no use for war theirs no reason for us to even be over theirfighting, Our troops are fighting over old wounds, Bush jr. is fighting his fathers battle. This is where the political corruption comes in at, first of all many people believe that bush had somthing to do with the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center. Do to his lack of leadeship and quickness to such a catastrophe he was a target, also the war has lead to immense rises in gas prices, and economic issues.
