I feel so dumb to believe that after 9/11 and 3000 of our citizens died that a "conservative" GOP president would have taken care of one our most obvious and pressing issues affecting national security.
Don't feel dumb. Read Fr; a lot of people were taken in by the system, and ARE being taken in.
Fact is, politics is run by the golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules. The banks and the big corporate suits pay for election campaigns. We do not. The math is simple.
