text: do you think the politician of yout country, in general, are honest,? what the frequency did you see report on corruption at tv or newspaper? i think that most politicians want what is best for their constituents, generally speaking. the bad apples get a lot of press coverage & it just seems like most are corrupt.  i personally believe that bush, cheney and rove are corrupt.  they are all arrogant & bush abuses the power of his office as much as he can get away with. but i have noticed that we haven't been seeing bush's smirk (i would just love to wash that smirk off his face) in a while.  when the presidency appears to be corrupt, it demoralizes the citizenry & it's easy to believe that all politicians are corrupt as well.  i'm 60.  i don't think that there is any more or less media coverage on corruption now than there has been in the past.
