Yes, it seems that way- the ruling class, the status quo, the DC elite 'royalty', running for cover before the eyes of We The People.
Same as it ever was. The founders meant for us to run the show- and we have abdicated that responsibility to the politicians because, apparently it's more compelling to watch Paris Hilton and her latest boob job than be responsible citizens.
I for one refuse to sit down and shut up. Hopefully, there are enough of us left.
Oh never mind,.. You're correct, the gov't IS supposed to be "by the people". We certainly don't want what they have in Canada or Germany. Congress critters are supposed to be the way we make our immediate wishes known. I'd say let them know we want to get to the bottom of this or they're gone. Raise the alarm.
"it's more compelling to watch Paris Hilton and her latest boob job than be responsible citizens."
Paris has boobs now?
Seriously, This carrot's been dangled and I can't see this just disappearing into the wood work. This story gonna come out in some fashion or another.
