1. Why not just call it corruption ?
American elections are bought - its so accepted now that people don't even question it ?

Bought elections are now simply so what ?

You know your country is gone - all thats left is to stop fighting it and accept it - its the fastest way to recovery.

2. And this is why the congress will never vote for the Fair Elections
bill where they limit spending in campaigns.

3. The "60+ Association"
is flooding Tennessee with attack ads. They claim to be a "grassroots association of concerned citizens", I wondered who was bankrolling their hate messages. Pfizer, who'da thunk?

4. K&R! Not a word of protest
from the Teabaggers about our elections being bought by corporations. Why is that? This illustrates that they are certainly not a grass roots effort. The Teabaggers were invented for reasons of corporate propaganda, subterfuge and obfuscation. The same corporate interests buying our elections are behind the creation of the Teabaggers. And that is a fact.
