15. Exactly

but our power is being stolen away by an ideology.

[Polemonium]

23. Bingo, but who does run the country

The sad thing is that none of the office holders you listed have near the power to run this country that the wealthy few who pull the strings from secretive back rooms. This continues to be more and more true every year. Kerry unfortunately shows no signs of plugging this annoying little hole in our democracy.
