Democrat in Chief?

The problem lies, not just with the Democrats, Republicans or even President Obama. Until each and every corporate lobbyist is whipped naked and howling into the wilderness...Until big money contributions have been eradicated from political campaigns (An no, money does not equal free speech. The SCOTUS has its head waaaay up its ass on that one) and ALL political campaigns are publicly funded, nothing will change.

And therein lies the rub. Politicians don't want the system to change. They get their gerrymandered districts which assure little, if any electoral competition...and when they leave office they can become "consultants" for their corporate pimps and johns until the restrictions on lobbying Congress expire. Then, they go back and spread corporate cash around Washington like the all pervasive cancer corporate lobbying is.

Until "We the People...' wake up and take our responsibilities as citizens of this nation and the ultimate arbiters of how our government conducts its business in our name, Nothing...Will...Change...Ever. It is one of the cornerstones of this Republic that the Republic derives its powers from the "consent of the governed". Did we REALLY consent to this level of dysfunction in our government?
