Elites are taking over politics.
They don't care about crime in the country because they live in gated communities, have drivers, don't take public transportation, shop with the great unwashed masses, etc.
They don't care about the shape of our schools and the radical gay leftist agenda being taught in our kindergardens (The King and the King - a love story) because THEIR kids go to private schools.
They don't care whether innocent Americans accidentally get spied on. They just care if they get searched even with a warrant.
It's the biggest disconnect I've ever seen between Republicans and their constituency and it will destroy the country, imo.
I'm a pretty optimistic gal by nature- but what I'm seeing now is truly beyond anything I can remember since the Viet Nam years. The disconnect is alarming.
What brought it into focus was hearing Rush discussing what McCain told a gathering of GOP fundraisers last week (paraphrasing)..that if it weren't for the likes of Rush, Lou Dobbs, etc..this bill would pass easily into law. What's SO sickening here- is that McCain does not realize that Rush, Dobbs etc are simply EDUCATING listeners to facts..facts McCain and his gang have obviously not WANTED the American public to know.
On Memorial Day weekend it seems we mourn our lost country as well as those lost in battle.
I don't think it's just republicans--it's the entire Washington establishment, and it's downright frightening. I have to wonder what country they're governing, because it certainly isn't the one I live in.
