Politicians: Wake up!

I would like to know when politicians of all makes and models will wake up to the fact that you just can't hide anything anymore! In this age of technology, speed, and information dissemination why do these silly people think that they can hide any little indiscretion? Oh, I know, it is because they are too busy trying to get more--get more for themselves (in the form of political donations as well as personal donations), get more for their state (in the form of pork, usually!), and then whatever else that will put them in a better light/position to run and do it all over again. Even people that I deemed as basically honest are coming up with some lazy excuses as to what they did and did not know about campaign contributions and who gave them, then who received state contracts. One of my favorite newsletters is the one I get from Citizens Against Government Waste. I love the fact that they point out waste that comes in the form of pork, money procured for unimportant projects, money wasted on projects, and money procured for projects that shouldn't be federally funded. This nation is so far away from what the Founding Fathers intended in this regard. The Founding Fathers had no intention for the Federal Government to support so many of these pork projects. They were very concerned that the Federal Government play a limited role and that states' rights should control the majority of laws and influence. When can we get back to this? Not any time soon, apparently because politicians continue to think that they can somehow "hide" or mask indiscretions or even things that look bad from us, the general public, and spend us into oblivion.
