Sorry, but I’m not buying.
The theme of next year’s general election will be:
“It’s the corruption, (of the dem and gop partys) stupid!”

Its the corruption, (of the dem and gop partys) stupid!
The best analysis I have read of what envelopes our nation today was given as a warning over 200 years ago. Neither Democrat, Republicans, or any other political party dares mention the dire warning as they would be providing the rope with which they would be hung.
QUOTE:
I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy....
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another. President George Washington Farewell Address - 1796
What our nation most needs now is real Americans leading our nation, the sort of Americans that place nation above any political party, special interest, or foreign entanglement.
