323. You totally missed my point. To be a major party leader means you have to sell out.
Edited on Sat Sep-04-10 03:20 PM by AnArmyVeteran
'Wishing' for Obama to do what he promised to do during the 2008 campaign has also turned into a fairy tale. He's sold out to the rich and powerful and threw his supporters with a few crumbs of legislation all of which were watered down so much they are almost useless. That's what the corrupting influence money has on our electoral process. Do you believe a major party is going to willingly change a system they own, along with their pimps? Without changing our electoral process this country will continue to deteriorate. But the major parties couldn't care less about the long term. All they care about is winning the next election, and unfortunately, they keep getting the same people to mindlessly vote R or D without even a thought.
