There are so few REAL men in politics. It attracts perverts/liars/cheats/thieves/bullies/greedy selfish scum. The DREGS. WHY?

Thank you for your thoughtful reply and the graphics Sharon. A very good thing  has arisen out of the #Metoo movement. More women are getting involved in politics. More women are INSISTING on being heard, voicing their opinions, having an effect on how things are being done. Are all women involved in politics either directly or on the edges of it great? Nope, I give you Sarah Palin and Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kelly Anne Conway for starters. Gross and disgusting examples. But maybe among them will be more Elizabeth Warrens or Kamala Harris' (our California Senator whose career we've followed for years). In the olden days there was Ann Richards, Governor of Texas and Shirley Jordan...I think she was a Texas politician too if I'm not mistaken. I think Michelle Obama would be very good at it but she is not interested apparently Happy Wednesday! :).

Percentage-wise how many corrupt women are there or have there ever been in politics with the power of a don juan? Paul Ryan (I know..Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House but I don't think she is corrupt) or Mitch McConnell? Of course all male pols are not corrupt. Most of them seem to be in this current reality. Congress' majority is Republican and the House "Intelligence" committee WHITEWASHED its investigation and ignored pertinent important information and gave don juan et al a clean bill of health. They are so full of sh** they drip it as they walk. The Senate majority is also Republican and rarely is there a squeak from a pip about the awfulness of don juan.  They had a meeting with him and were gonna bring up the insult by Sadler about John McCain and di they? No. Too chickensh** to do the right thing because they are full of it too as it drips behind them No wonder the stench of  D.C. is only for those who find the fragrance of swill thrills. Sure there are dames among them and they are the ones whom I can't figger out. Women who actually LOVE the don juan and support him and admire him and worship him and defend him and love him while his track record with women is an abomination. I cannot explain that. There is no equivalent to don juan style corruption in American history. Will there be futurely? Why not? The people allowed him to set the template so low and low they will continue to go because they always look downward and not upward. They vote for the strange vermin that crawl out of the mud, out from under the rocks. The thingies that slither and snarl and bite. SIGH. Thank you for your reply Shuhak! :)

Michele Bachman? The only difference between her and a pit bull is lipstick.
Palin was dumber than a bag of her own excrement, but not necessarily corrupt - nobody would have trusted her to keep her mouth shut. Margaret Thatcher was intelligent and evil personified but I don't think she was on the take either - anybody offering her a bribe would have lost his hand at the wrist as well.
Former Australian Speaker Bronwyn Bishop rorted her travel allowance, that's pretty minor but still corrupt and she was forced to resign over it.

Thank you for your thoughtful and informative reply Sbf.There are more of them than I remembered. There was the gal who said she was not a witch. If you have to say that ya gotta be it. Happy Wednesday! :)               

Not necessarily, Rosie. Former PM Julia Gillard had to defend herself against misogynists for the entirety of her tenure in the big chair - and "Ditch the Witch" was their mantra.

Well sweetie ditch the witch is better than ditch the bi**h isn't it? Anyway the upside of the #Metoo movement is that a lot more women are running for political office. At least in the US. I wonder how it is in other countries? I'm gonna ask. How to make lemonade out of lemons is a talent. Thank you for your reply! :).
