    @beautifulady2003

    If what you say is true, and I believe it is, there is no hope for this country (and Jefferson would say so too).

    In my own life, I only know a couple of people worth talking to ........ and I avoid the rest of my species as much as I can as they are nothing but tranced-out sleepwalking consumers.

    As far as Washington goes ....... the democrats and republicans are just a bunch of deceiving, thieving, power hungry, self-serving pricks and trash who have no idea of what a public servant is and they are cooperating now to cover each others" asses.

    They're all in the same boat and they know it.

    These are the kind of lowlifes that your parents would have warned you to keep away from 25 years ago.

    Unfit (and probably incompetent too) to run a convenience store, let alone serve in the upper levels of government (can you imagine dubya owning and running a convenience store - he would be out of business in a month.).

    Too bad the american people don't give a damn about holding these people accountable.

    There is something wrong with the american people ...... they have a slave mentality.

    I agree with George Carlin ...... the american people deserve to be pissed on, shit on and fucked.
