Willie you have yet to figure it out. What you stand for has been losing longer than you can remember and all you do is Cry Cry Cry. You are in worse shape than Johnny Cash.

This nation has a form of government based on public servants. We select the servants to do our governing for us. Like all hired servants they do what the bosses tell them to do. The Bosses are the voters.

Over and over you trash the servants for failing to do what you want done. You have yet to figure out that the only way to get things done is to get the bosses, that is a majority of American voters, behind what you want to do. To change much of anything you have to get about 70 percent support.

You stand around cursing the servants because they insist on doing what their masters want done and refusing to do what their masters don't want done.

When the masters tell the public servants to do it .. they will.

Your problem Willie is with the voters. If you can't get the voters to tell their public servants to do something... They will not do it.

All your life you have been looking for a principled leader to do what you feel is right in spite of public opinion. Few servants have a death wish Willie. They are all afraid of the boss. They pretend they are leaders... Willie, but all know they are just servants.

You think we elect rulers.. Willie! We don't! We elect public servants! There is a Big difference.

Ahh, and there are fairies in the bottom of my garden also.

Since when have we been the boss - since when have they done what we wanted (take immigration), and since when have we had a real choice. IN the last election - we had no choice - we had two rich, priviledged sons come out of the gate with so much influence and money they rolled over anyone in their paths. We had no choice - Bush was the only thing we could do - it wasn't a choice - it was a fervent plea to the Gods that what he wanted and what was best for the country would sometimes be the same.

It has been a long time since the bosses in Washington cared what we thought. That is a myth that needs to be dispelled.

This country needs to grow up and stop depending on our 'public servants' and make them as irrelevant as possible. Instead we continue to give them more and more power and adulation - no wonder we are going down the tubes.

Horse-dung Tator.
Our choices are limited to a predetermined selection of puppets.
We the People are forced to hold our noses an cast our votes for whomever we think is the lesser of two evils.

The only place where politicos get that magical "70 percent" support is in some trumped up poll, by either or both sides. When it comes to election results anything over 55 percent is considered a landslide, and I haven't seen that in over 35+ years. The stupidity of the american voters (particularly those on the left and the linguini-spined moderates) is the major obstacle to getting any leader elected with what our unbiased media would call a "mandate".
