Reply to comment by HungerMadra in Paul Ryan says he 'had too much power' as House speaker by bomberesque1

FTFY.

There are countless people in "hired" positions that are not power hungry monsters... I mean... Politician.

Anyone with enough arrogance to run for a political office automatically loses some of my respect.

I don't think that is accurate, unfortunately. Whether someone is a government employee or a private landowner really makes no difference about whether or not they're gonna be a douche to you.
