This is the status of Representative Democracy, 2009. Is there any wonder people are fed up with both parties? With rare exceptions, most of Congress is beholden to special interest groups intent on extracting money from the Federal coffers for purposes that are not in the best interests of most Americans.

The people allow themselves to be played for fools by the representatives who are supposed to be working for them. The money I paid these people was mostly wasted. That wasn’t enough. My children and grandchild are being indebted by wastrels and buffoons. I’m voting against them all, and I urge you to do the same. One way or another, what cannot continue will not.

I agree with thistea party:

A sign near the center of the crowd summed up the sentiment succinctly: Above side-by-side pictures of President Bush and President Obama were the words “Dumb & Dumber”.

They should have put the graph of Bush’s and Obama’s deficits under their portraits.

And ‘dumb’ may be a charitable explanation of the political establisment’s behavior.
