K, so America now is us Vs. them. Dems VS Repubs. You have to be one or the other or you are wishy washy. I guess it has to be that way because you can't just vote for one issue. Support National; health care? Then you have to vote Dem to get it to go, and if you vote dem you are also voting for a bunch of other wacked out stuff, like putting our country into a huge financial hole. Want Repub fiscal conservatism? Well you are also gonna be putting people in office who have so many cronies on Wall street that they don't know where their allegience lies.

All in all the last twenty years the ethos of our elected officials has not been what is best for the country but what is best for the people who gave them the money to get into office. They spend their entire time in office paying back their interests. That is what has gotten us here. No plan for the country just for themselves.

Bitch is other countries have put in plans for a sustainable future. We can't even get along well enough to think about a plan. Another thing the other countries do is take advantage of us. They know exactly how to play us. Use lobbyists to get what they want and sway our government like no one of it's citizens can do. It is a perversly corrupt system and we are all being placated to either not know or not care too much as they shove so much information down our throats we can't possibly take it all in.

I don't know how many people after our Iraq invasion said to me we went in there to get the terrorists, how fucking stupid are we? With no proof of any terrorists in Iraq, Bush and the media then started just feeding us bullshit info to get our minds off of it. Saddam was looking to take over the middle east, Muslims hate us, (which, I am sure, a lot of them do) he was killing Sunnis (which he was, but see Rhodesia) finally WMD's. What a load of shit! 2010 soon and we are still there, we can't get out and we can't stay in, what shit!
