Electoral College
When are we going to demand a government that represent us?
The candidates target their energies to winning electoral votes, not popular votes. Once in office, they spent their time serving their party, not us. When it is time for re-election, they cater to the lobbyists and donators of big bucks, not us.
When the whole system falls apart and every department fails to do its jobs- and 911 happens, they pass homeland security crap to take away our rights to make up for their failures.
You put Bush and the Gang of 7 together and between the 8 of them, there is less integrity, honesty, and loyalty than you would find in a cub scout den meeting. What is the point of having the right to vote if this is the best they can put up for to choose from?
All the while I was growing up, we had the Iron curtain and the Russians to distract us from the real enemy-our government. Now the iron curtain has rusted out so we needed a new "them" to keep us in line. The arabs fit the bull nicely.
Face the facts, WE don't count. WE aren't what they care about.
This is not a government of the people, it is a government in spite of the people. Why is it that congress cannot find a way to give us, the people, the same health care coverage THEY have?
