I haven't posted anything here in a couple of months, as I have mostly concluded that all the bickering is a waste of time. However, I ran across this article and just couldn't pass up posting it....because it does the best and most thorough job I have yet seen of explaining where we are today in this country and how we...and the Republican Party in particular....got to this sad state of affairs.
I really have nothing else to add to it....but I think it should be a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of government in this country, because it is a colossal mess right now and, as this article concludes, may well get even worse before it gets better.
Lol that Trump=Sanders
That was the 1st post I have made here since June 4th (the 47th anniversary of the day that Robert Kennedy was assassinated)....and this one is only the 2nd one I have made since that one.
BTW, Bernie Sanders would make the best president this country could have out of all the candidates who are running...on both sides. Voters in this country have a bad habit of rejecting the best candidates, though. Howard Dean is a perfect example. He would have made a fantastic president. One of the best in my lifetime.
Yeah. That's a good way to put it. People use Hillary and Obama's fundraising prowess to show Democrat hypocrisy with respect to campaign financing, but that's not a good comparison. The lack of Democrat candidates is where you see the philosophical differences in campaign financing.
Meh. Both parties are taking millions of unregulated dollars from special interests and businesses that will come calling once they win.

Ultimately, 16 of the 17 republican candidates are being paid to travel the country to promote their personal brand. Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.
