Carl is correct on facts. What is missing is the WHY these aren't investigated. Until someone can prove this theory wrong I have stated for over a decade that this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" (which is owned & run by the elites who desire & demand that no true conservative agenda ever flourish because it is against their best interest)will always sell out the middle class taxpayers over the large corps & the hands-out crowd. The middle class people MUST get organized & take time off of work to show really who has the most votes. (even sometimes the votes aren't as important to these pols as the graft & money they take from the elites). I do know that if you keep voting these same people in you will get the same results. And again as I have stated since GW was elected that when he leaves the SC will NOT be of a conservative majority. I almost guarantee this because the elites will not allow it.

"...this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" (which is owned & run by the elites who desire & demand that no true conservative agenda ever flourish because it is against their best interest..."

General rule of thumb: if either party actually accomplished anything it said it stood for completely, the country would be in revolt.

As for the "elites who desire...no true conservative agenda ever flourish..", we have the same kinds of folks in our ranks, or is the realization of complete Communism and Collectivism suddenly a good thing?

I don't disagree with you that a viable alternative is needed, the fact is that the system, as is, may be broken, but it does work. The issue is not conservative vs. liberal, per se, but more of a miasma of stupid people pushing limited agendas with no thought as to consequences (on both sides of the isle).

Although I don't have the details you do, I have always thought that we should stop electing ELITISTS.

We need representatives of the common man. These career politicians seem to forget immediately what it is like being an ordinary citizen, who works, drives themselves, cooks meals, raises children, cleans house, goes to church, etc. etc.

These power-hungry pols jet around the world, own 2 or 3 homes, hire a gang of servants to wait on them. They have completely lost touch with real life.

And the sad thing, we are counting on THEM to solve real life problems.
