"People get the government they deserve."
It doesn't matter a wet slap what party did what, or to whom it was done, as it is all in the past. There have been political scandals since the days of the ancent Greeks and Romans... just check any good history books...
The problem is not the past, it's the present. In thread after thread, fourm after forum, people talk (complain, whine, snivel, opine, whatever) about what is now effectively, "history"...
The question is, what are we going to do about the present situation?
The short answer: nothing. The current US electoral sysem is flawed. The Electoral College system is outdated and should be overhauled. It sucks to see the popular vote go one way, and the results of the Electoral College go another...
There should be a much lower cap on what a candidate can raise, IMO. It becomes more of a focus on $$$ than issues.
The days of "responsible, citizen-oriented government" in America are gone. They died with Truman. Now Big Business, Special Interest Groups, $$$ and greed rule government in the US.
OMG! Post 179's avatar is, er, well, um.... disturbing! LOL! :rotfl::rotfl:
