Politics as industry.

Father in  heaven...

Politics has become a growth industry in America, this is a problem; too much ambition and too little service.  It didn't start this way.  The noble has become dishonorable.

Regardless of party affiliation, the pursuit of power, wealth, celebrity too, has become the focus of many who have been elected to serve "the people" in Washington.  Congress has been sullied by gridlock, the "love of money", sexual scandal, graft and abuse of privilege.  Democrats, Republicans, sully their sworn oaths.

I pray this 2016 election cycle breaks toward leaders willing to make tough decisions, without regard for how those decisions poll: that, will be patriotism.

...Deliver us from evil.
