ignore the corruption in each other's party. Yes..."a gentleman's agreement" which they call getting along better. It's like a corrupt frat gang who get to become rich and corrupt on the backs of their constituents.
New members of Congress become the same way forgetting their promises to voters. None held accountable even by the so called Progressive groups which backed them financially.
It does not give me comfort that they get along so well when so much is at stake for America. They not only get rich but betray America's future.
They couldn't go after Hastert when his land deal was in your face. He stepped down from leadership with millions but that's not like going to jail is it?
Who says they are running our government like a company? If you work for any organization and you make off with millions...you would go to jail for a long time. Especially if you were Afro-American poor. Rich maybe not. They need workers in those privatized prisons. Why else do you suppose we have more prisoners than China (who also use them for free labor).
Congressman Trifactant (D-OH) allegedly stole hundreds of thousands. He's still not out of jail after eight years. Even Amnesty International won't tell me what is going on. He's serving in a mental institution last I heard. Democrats abandoned him because he protested the 2000 election "selection" of Bush and the bad votes in Florida. He was the first political prisoner from Congress.
I was shocked to find out that there were at least six prisons north of the NC Triangle area. I wondered where all the men were in NC. In the state college most the students are women.
While watching an Oprah program one day I heard she and her friend had gone to NC because it was reported that their were lots of Afro-American available for dating, marriage, etc. What planet were they living on?
Many are x-felons who can't vote. I think that is on purpose.
North Carolina has been stripped of its industries and farms. Even their prosperous university area suffering government research loss. Their youth have been outsourced to poverty, industrial prisons, or joining Blackwater.
Hey Congress if you want to be rich don't do it on the public dole. It's not what public service is about. Even the X-members of Congress And the cabinet can't give up their power and influence joining secret organizations (Bilderberg Group, etc). Their egos inflated and greedy for wealth and long past powers.
Yes...Virginia we are a Russian like society today. It is what we fought during the Cold War. You know that great President Reagan who freed us from Communism? Guess we didn't win but became what we hated most. Is that not the Republican RW way to "smaller government"?
