Take Your Politics and Stick It Where The Sun Don't Shine
DOUG THOMPSON, Feb 2, 2004, 08:16, Capital Hill Blue

I found America doesn’t really want to know the truth about its government or its elected officials. Americans prefers [sic] to wallow in their own sewer of personal indulgence, embracing only those things that serve their personal lusts and attacking anything that seems different from their own narrow points of view. Instead of thinking on their own, too many Americans prefer to let their political parties and their leaders think for them, leading them down too many crooked paths and keeping them in the dark when it comes to true intentions and agendas. George W. Bush took office and promised to restore honor and integrity to government, but Bush turned out to be just as corrupt as Clinton, dragging the country into a war under false pretenses, trampling individual freedoms and giving the country the largest deficit in history. His credibility on the world stage is shot to hell and, along with it, the credibility of a once-great nation. So it doesn’t really matter who we elect to the White House because there isn’t much value in trading one son-of-a-bitch for another. As for Congress, the current Republican leadership on both sides of the Hill sold out the second they gained power – forgetting all about term limits, abandoning their promise to keep pork out of spending and sucking all the federal money they can back into their states and districts.

And what to the lemmings who follow these con artists do? They align themselves with one party or another, clinging to a decaying political system that spreads like cancer throughout the nation, killing the body of a once-proud place called America.
