As for Menendez I’m still out on that one. I trust any of them any further than I can throw’ em. But he was congressman right up until he and his committee questioned why U.S. oil companies were still working with Russia. The next ya know <poof> he’s a traitor and needs to resign. |
Well, you hit the nail on the head. Really. Everyone is left to wonder why no one did their due diligence, including the Journalists To see if this Individual had any qualifications at all. If someone had checked Santos out, and his story and litany of fabrications, the voters would have been able to hopefully make an Intelligent and informed decision regarding their respective votes.
In reality, there is no shortage of stupidity or lack of morals or ethical considerations by either the Democrats or Republicans. If we are to believe that elections are fair and honest, then we have to do our own research on candidates as part of our due diligence. Hopefully, this episode will wake people up to pay attention at election time.
