Today the House of reps passed a pork loaded bill which was basically illegally rushed through the senate (they used existing bills to do this). This is NOT the will of the people and IMO marks the end of Democracy in the USA. No longer are our representatives even remotely concerned about the will of the people, no longer is our gov't for the people by the people, we are no longer part of the system. It's a sad day.

True, democracy may have up and kicked the bucket today, but it's been coughing up blood for years.

I agree, but this issue was the first one that started the sheeple grumbling and they still ignored them.

As long as the sheeple remain complacent, why shouldn't they be ignored?

These are people who are stuck in a loop, they dont live real lives and they drive back and forth to work with a vacation in never-never land whenever they feel like it. The only way they can change is if something hits really close to home and ***** with their assinine existance a little. But thats hard as hell to do for leaders like that...if theres any chance that their pretty little heads can get rattled they can pack up at any time and **** off, they are priority they are leaders.



In situations like this the only one who suffers is the guy who can't pack up and leave. It must be nice to never have to live with ones betrayal like their **** doesnt stink.
