		<description>Assemblyman Adams doesn't need to have any answers, because all politicians are honest and only interested in serving the best interest of the taxpayer.
Somehow he can rationalize that based on the exodus of people and business from the state.</description>

		<description>Thats the problem with American politics...the extreme distrust of politicans.  What answers could they have given that would have satisfied you?  Everyone thinks politicians are these lying, cheating bastards who are in office solely for their own personal gain.  While that may be true for some small percentage, it is not the norm for all.  
What would State Senator Ray's answers look like.  It doesnt matter, because whatever they are, someone out there can say "Oh, that guy is just saying that to get elected, he is so full of it."  How do you answer complex questions to an electorate that has the attention span of 3 seconds?  How do you address complex issues to a population that doesnt read the evening news anymore?  being a politican has got to be an extremely difficult job, lets cut these people some slack.</description>

		<description>When you look at the answers that all three provided, it's pretty lame.
A few issues were touched on, but mostly a bunch of worn out political sound bites by all.
Antoine sounds like he always does, I'm afraid his idea of good government is all about how much funding he can get off of the public money tree. We've had enough of that.</description>
