Editor, Daily News:
From a strictly nonpartisan point of view, every day brings us more sour news about the members of Congress. They steal, they lie, they are perverts and, in general, are an unsavory lot.
Some of them must have a grain of intelligence that tells them they are bringing shame to a venerable institution, but you don't hear any of them ever admit that or do anything about it. They are busy doing the work of lobbyists and collecting money for the next election. The political parties pander to the lowest common denominator, while this country we love and respect falls further into a state of general malaise.
As voters, we need to do something, but what? We need leadership, from fresh faces, from the media, from someone, but it doesn't seem to be forthcoming.
