political : DO YOU THINK POLITICIANS SHOULD BE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARDS WE ARE? [+] serious ballot by herzog created Sun Jun 18, 06 A grand jury declined to indict Rep. Cynthia McKinney on Friday in connection with a confrontation in which she admitted hitting a police officer who tried to stop her from entering a House office building. The grand jury had been considering the case since shortly after the March 29 incident, which has led to much discussion on Capitol Hill about race and the conduct of lawmakers and the officers who protect them. - - - - - - - - Now, I don't know about you, but I've pretty sure that if I were to take a swing at a cop I'd get some sort of penalty (certainly more than being let go, 100% scot-free). Does this seem right to you? Not just this case, but for instance whenever a kennedy tries top kill someone in an alcohol/drug induced stupor the cops always seem to show up to drive them home, then let them off without charges. Should politicians face the same penalties for these sorts of crimes that we common folk would? Yes, they should be held to the same standard that we are No, they should be held to a higher standard and punished more severely No, they shouldn't, they have an important job and need to blow off some steam every now and then I get to punch cops all the time and never face any penalty, but I am a politician Only liberal democrats should be held to a higher standard.
