You Should Not Be Surprised

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out. But in mid-stream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "I am a scorpion, it’s my nature..."

Regardless of political affiliation we need to realize one thing; politicians do what they do because they are politicians. They will continue to serve their own interests instead of representing the people that elected them because it is their nature.
