Great thread, XPLodER. What a show. This should be on the front page of ATS! It's a shame it is not.

This is the Republican skeleton in the closet. I believe the corporate agenda obviously stretches to both sides of the aisle, but the Democrats have been demonized for so long now and the Right has portrayed themselves as the savior of the American people, the middle-class, all the while scheming behind the scenes and working with the corporate interests doing shady deals, passing ALEC's bills as their own. I'm a Republican myself, but often times I find myself critical of my own party because I know they're just as bad as the Democrats at undermining democracy and subterfuge.

Our republic is in full-fleged emergency mode and it stresses me out to no end. As Moyers stated, how can David take out Goliath? We need an answer, we need to wake people up to this corruptness that is rooted throughout our great country.
