I can only hope that enough people cry “FOUL!” and those voices get heard.

We are nation founded for the rich by the rich. See my article from April for details. We were never a truly democratic nation – never truly a republic either with the electoral college in place.

It has become increasingly difficult, over the course of this election cycle, to stay calm, rational, and sane. The complete disregard by the GOP for facts and logic is baffling, and when they announced publicly just this week that they weren’t going to be dictated to by fact checkers it became obvious to me that the reason they don’t need facts is that they are pandering to the baser emotions of their constituency where facts and logic serve no purpose anyway. You are exactly right that the Republicans have made defeating Obama in November their only priority, and they have trampled the rights, productivity and opportunities of real Americans to do it. It isn’t just shameful…it is treasonous.

American politics is broken. The objective on all sides is power. To obtain power, one must prove themselves useful. To be useful, one must fix things. To fix things, one must find things that are broken. And I wonder, if there were not so many suits scrambling for power, would there be as many things that need fixing? Politicians create problems to fix. That is their job description. That is government. Democracy is simply the pretty clothes they dress it up in. And nothing will ever change. Whichever party has the POTUS will keep us all placated just enough to prevent revolution, and piss us off just enough to create things to fix. Nothing will ever change except the face behind the Resolute Desk.
