Ron Hart on Why Pols Abuse People
With Anthony Weiner and others in mind, columnist Ron Hart writes
Those who seek political fame seem to be prone to self-destructive, delusional proclivities. They surround themselves with sycophants who reinforce their "righteousness." The perpetual adulation given to a person who is willing to do anything for power and fame eventually leads to his demise. In the case of Democrats, it is more acute – and prevalent. They proceed under the illusion that they are saving the world and performing heroically for the poor or disaffected, albeit with someone else's money. The leftist media seldom hold them to account like they do Republicans, thus this false "war on women" that has been pinned on the GOP.
In this trumped-up "war on women," actions speak louder than words. Watch what politicians do, not what they say.
