Well I'm saying that "democracy" is bull# and the average politician will SAY anything to get re-elected. What they "do" is another matter...
and I'd go so far as to say that in the short term, they will walk the walk for the purpose of their own vanity... but in the end, they are in the
den of the dragon. Disturb the dragon too much, and it will eat you. The politicians know this, and if they don't, they may just get a very rude
awakening in the following months and years to come.
The political arena is bought and paid for by the corporations and the bankers. THAT is what I'm saying. Don't bother trying to jump start a machine
that hasn't worked in almost 100 years. If congress is so pro-constitutional republic, then why this constant decline over the last hundred years to
the point where we're at right now? Continue trusting in this bull#? It's been almost 100 years or more with CONSTANT decline in the state of
affairs of this nation's people, and we're all still saying "go out and write to so and so and go out and vote. It works!". Are you joking? Are
you all so preoccupied with your contrived and socially conditioned life (in general, not directed at you specifically) that you haven't noticed
everything that has gotten us here? Rigged politics is a LARGE factor here, and the ones that care are not able to make a dent when the option of
selling out and making it easy for you and yours is so lucrative to these people, and that is overwhelmingly exactly who we're asking to make
changes. They don't give a damn about you, for the most part. They don't give a damn. If they had given a damn, they would have done more to protect
our rights over the last 8 years... simple as that. The biggest constitutional violations in the history of America go grooving right through Congress
relatively unchallenged, and you're expecting these cowards to do something to help you out? The time for an all out relvolt has passed a long time
ago, man.... and you're sitting here telling us that we're gunna fix things by writing letters and leaving messages on an automated voice-mail
system?
Politicians lie all the time and they will even do a little here and there just to save face. Re-election? If enough people think you've done all you
could, boom there ya go, re-elected. Even so, the election system is highly suspect anyway, and I just don't buy into it anymore. It has never fixed
America's problems because we continue to seemingly elect the exact person who is doing all he can against our favor. Maybe in the 19th century, the
vote mattered, but not anymore. Not since the Corporate and financial takeover of the 20th century
