Nothing will change though since they are indeed bought and paid for and have other plans for the American people and the world.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Slowly.... Very slowly, even the farthest left, are finally coming around to realize, they too have been played. They are seeing what Progressive really is.

I, as a leftist, have not been played. I have been, like all of us, robbed by international finance and big oil.

How about the far right blindly following their lobbyist masters like Dick Armey's Freedomworks.

I agree . . .

I started out as a 'righty' although after King Bush II and with no other option in 2008 other than McCain/Palin did not vote and did hope Obama would bring change.

Initial dissapointments for me was Obama not bringing our troops home, the initial fiasco with his Czars who really were pretty much socialists and the Obamacare fiasco.

The final straw was when Obama/Reid pushed for and extended the Patriot Act. I look at the Obama administration and think he pushed for social programs that are not financially feasible but other than that how is he different than GWB?

I think our Government is owned by International Finance and Big Oil and the president is pretty much owned by them. To be fair, I believe Obama really did intend to change things but after being elected got his instructions from those in power.

I fear that the more powers we give the President who is a puppet of international finance and big oil are really only powers we give international finance and big oil. Both Bush and Obama have expanded the powers of the presidency and the powers of law enforcement at the Federal and State levels.

We have been sold by our own government.
We need to elect someone who will bring us back to a nation of laws where politicians are accountable to the people and the constitution.

We need to limit the power of the Executive Branch of government and demand congress take up their responsibilities again, then elect representatives who will respect 'We the People' and the Constitution.

Yea, it is a tall order, but not impossible.
