Most problems would be solved if a free press existed.


when Obama endorsed Holder to falsify a warrant and judge shop to spy on journalists, it set the socialists cornerstone for the disaster politics has become as it senty a chill down the spine of journalists. Weaponizing federal agencies to suppress the conservative vote is another example of where a free press would have investigated and called Obama on the claim of a rogue IRS office in Cincinnati.


We no longer have a country without a free press and the free press is nowhere to be found.

We have more options for diet soda than we do leaders of the free world. There is NO WAY, ONE party or Person can represent the melting pit that is the USA.

Default If you could point the finger of blame on one thing, what's wrong with US politics?

The influence of corporate interests has corrupted our political system almost to the breaking point.

And which party condones and supports that and fights tooth and nail to keep it that way? You need to complete the thought.

I think things would be much better if issues were decided by direct vote. The American public is far more moderate on most positions than either R or D in Washington usually is. Then we'd have common sense on everything from borders to abortion access to gun control. The 'representatives' no longer do a good job representing.

Three things...

1. Blaming everything on racism.
2. Lack of assimilation by new immigrants.
3. Extremists in high positions of govt.
