Do you trust any politicians that are currently in office or running for office?
If so who is it and what do you base your trust on?
How much do you trust him or her?

The reason I ask this question is because men and women vote for other men and women who almost always turn out to be the least trustful people ever. I don't know how anyone could ever trust another man or woman to look after their own affairs. It's absolutely sickening to me listening to anything that gives the state any credibility at all. Everything the state manages, it bankrupts and destroys anyways.

Ron Paul

Chris Christie is probably the only one I trust because he is a straight shooter.

the only good person i've heard of in politics in a while is ron paul even if i disagree with a lot of his ideas, he's a terrible politician though

There's tons; I could probably name 200 of the ones I've interacted with throughout the country if I really wanted to take the time. This whole fantasy that politicians are by in large scandalous, deceitful, untrustworthy, <insert negative characteristic here> is just a pointless, stupid myth. It diminishes the good work that a lot of these people spend decades doing or trying to do.

A lot of the people I'd name for high trustworthiness belong to the Senate class of 2012: Tim Kaine, Heidi Heitkamp, Elizabeth Warren, Dean Heller, Joe Donnelly, and Debbie Fischer. They're all great people. I wouldn't mind if each of them stuck around in the Senate for a long time.

Spending your days under their collective desks giving them the Monica Lewinsky treatment has blinded you, eh? You don't get it on your dress, you get it in your eye.

I'm Liking Elizabeth Warren

Al Franken
