When did our Politicians start selling the American people out?.......1789........
Because, as congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) said yesterday, "they love power more than they love their own children and grandchildren."
The day they were elected.
This is simple to me. They don’t like the way the average American was voting, so now they will just bring in new people, who (out of gratitude, of course) will vote exactly the way they want them to.
July 5, 1776?
I will once again attribute many of opur problems to the 17th Amendment. Once again, the need for our Senators to rely on, and constantly campaign for popular election/re-election means that they pander to the masses as a glorified house of representatives instead of advocating for the interests of their respective states as our founders had intended.
When politics became a life-long career.
It got really bad in 1913, when both the Income Tax and the Federal Reserve System were created.
IMO. The greatest downfall was when Wilson signed the Federal Reserve system into law—he gave away the country to big money and apologized for it when he left office. The sell-out is cumulative in my opinion and has been accomplished by both parties. I believe it became most obvious to us idiots during the Clinton fiasco and technology that opened the door wide on the dirty tricks against the American people. Sunshine has exposed their long held power but it took so long for technology that we are way behind the eightball.
Well, it’s a time-honored tradition. Look at the politicians we have now, and how they come into government with average incomes and leave millionaires.
This has set off a firestorm with our fellow Republicans. I look forward to how this issue will effect the Republican Presidential race. McCain was counting on us forgetting about all his funny business in the first half of 2006. In a way it reminds me of Feingold forcing all the other Senate Democrats running for president to vote for surrender, something that will haunt them next year. In this case McCain is in for some well deserved heat right now.
1913, with the creation of the Federal Reserve System and our subsequent subjugation via the IRS to a cartel of private banks.
Since the Hispanics became the fastest growing voter block in the country. With the last two Presidential elections being photo finishes, both sides are trying to out do each other in pandering for their votes. This bill still has a long way to go to getting passed, but you can bet the perceived bipartisanship will be short lived.
ALL CHILDREN BORN TO OUR GUEST WORKERS WILL BE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!
They sell you out the minute they get elected and head off to Washington. Once there, they pull a 180 degree turn on the people who got them into office. I’m convinced they are all lower than used car salesmen and lawyers. How can this stupid amnesty bill be called a compromise? It’s a complete sell out of the country to third world status. Big business will get the cheap labor they want and the democrats will get the socialist votes they want to pass all there big buck socialist programs. The middle class will no longer exist. The country will be made up of 60 million tree trimmers and 100,000 fat cat socialists living in their guarded (Kennedy like) coumpounds.
1965
A lot earlier than folks realize . . .
Some even insist it was at least 400 years ago . . .
Then there was Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden followed by Cane and Abel.
