Nancy Giles (CBS Sunday Morning): Politics Is Getting Politicized

[tbyg52]

Great rant, from the MSM! And a reference to my favorite movie!

Excuse Me, Elected Officials, Exactly Whom Do You Work For?

It's official: Politics have become politicized. How else can anyone explain that the will of the people is being ignored by our elected representatives?

I know this is simplistic, but couldn't we take a teeny bit of that, oh, 10 billion bucks a month that's going God knows where in Iraq and make sure more American kids have health coverage?

Will somebody look at the books, like the fake president's accountant did in the movie "Dave"? His plain ol' accountant-guy logic pointed out ways to cut the fat and get money where it was actually needed. Why can't life imitate art?

The comments section could use some DU-ing, if you have the time and inclination - the freeper types are just copying each others' posts over and over....

Edited to pretty it up.
