Why?
They have a job that the majority of us don't want, and they are tempted every 3 seconds with doing something illegal. What if you were approached to sign a bill that you were slightly against, but someone offered you 50k to sign it? Would you do it? Of course the majority of us say yes because we're not in the situation, but what if you weren't?
It's like the man that doesn't want to cheat on his wife, but when he's presented with Jessica Alba and no one would know, how many truely wouldn't cheat?

WOW! Have you heard of morales? You are saying the only thing that keeps you from doing in-morale acts is the chance of being caught. Not good my friend.

I think you need to go back and read my comment again.
#1- that's not what I said for me personally, but the majority of people that do poor things are because they feel they won't get caught, and everyone in the world has done something immoral. So please don't try to sound so high and mighty, you're not perfect either.
#2- I have never cheated on my wife, but if Jessica Alba showed up on my doorstep, it would be damn tough to say no.
#3- You are obviously not capable of seeing things beyond your nose by saying what you said. You can not understand what these guys go through. It has to be tough to say no to thousands of dollars, and doing things that may seem insignificant for personal gain.
Everyone can sit back and judge, but not everyone is capable of seeing things from someone elses perspective. Fact is, no one knows how they respond to a situation until they are in that situation.
Being a politician is tough. You are thought of as scum in most cases, or at the least corrupt. You are in the public eye (no more so than in the DC area) and every time you take a shit, there is someone there to comment on it. You skrew up at all and it's all over the news. These are just people, and they are only human.
