The politicians do not care any more for the well being of the people than the union does.
Oh, I totally agree with you. Not all, but most especially the career politicians think the American public are idiots. Well, they are partly right but not totally. There are those who get it. For example, do they think we really believe getting involved in our healthcare and eating habits is because they love and care about our health? It is about government control. And, you are right, lobbyists and union wheeling and dealing is all a part of a politicians day. But, I think the American public’s got game and we're in it to win it! I just think we are over comers. With the grace of God, in 2012 the socialists will be further kicked to the curb and we can finish the job in 2014.
