Due to the "tumor" in her head. I put tumor in quotes because, IMHO, it's a cranial growth that occurs when a person leans in one direction for too long, in her case the left, a mass of fluid can build in a certain area of the "brain" and cause a pocket to form and grow. I put brains in quotes because, it has yet to be determined that she has any. She has already proved, she has no moral fortitude with the events that occured in Bengazi, "but what difference does it make?"

The citizens of this country are so starry eyed over millionaires running the country. They think just because they're rich they will provide the solutions needed to straighten out the economy. All they will do is enhance their riches using the un-questionable power of the office that they are v**ed into. Their own agendas are first and foremost.

It is all a part of the new American Dream.

The Dream some people have in where they have more than any one else.

I have felt for a long time that a v**e for a C would not be worth the effort.

But now it seems that A & B are working together supporting Big Money.

If we add C Big Money will just have to spend more money to get their way. They will find it hard & cost them more to buy the v**es.

Lets really get to them & add D & E. That should really drive them up the wall.

Just think if congress was filled with independent people.

They just may v**e on their own values.

Just give this a thought. We are not pleased with the parties we have We are divided here so lets each side here create a new party.

We find it hard to agree but that don't matter because we would let the 4 parties work it out.

Remember that it is our v**es that truly give them the power.

With more seeking our v**es our power grows.

If party D & E got all the eligible v**ers ( the one's not bothering to v**e ) to v**e, and split them up between them, they'd still get more v**es than A, B & C combined. That would be an awesome display of power.

I would like to think that running congress should not be a team sport.

I seem to think that a person that is willing to stand on their principles could survive in congress & be a true leader if they were willing to not sell their soul to get there. If one person can do that more would be sure to follow.

Even I find that hard to believe.

I think that we will have to hold on to the team idea until we have enough teams to break the hold of Big Money on congress. There must be a limit to how many people they can buy.

When you have a gang mentality, as our congress does, the only principle that applies is "us vs them". The party as an "entity" is more important than wh**ever the party originally stood for. Any principles a new member might bring, get's consumed by the party, in favor of unity. They might be wrong, know they're wrong, but they'll still ride that horse to the finish line just to win.

I couldn't agree with you more about the "us vs. them" mentality!! Pisses me off! This isn't a football game, or a bump to pass car race. It's our country, our way of life! No two people will ever agree on everything, that is why we are all individuals. We are being run into the ground by a bunch of people who don't give a damn about you, or me.
I think its all about power, and money. The unwashed masses don't matter.

Sad isn't it? I wonder what would happen, if one of the "big two", decided to change it's stance on an issue overnight, to coincide exactly with the other side's stated stance from the day before. I imagine a complete silence at first, and then outrage and cries of "No fair!" and then - the other side would change IT'S stance - to the one they opposed originally. Classic Bugs Bunny routine that amused me as a child. :lol:
