27. He's only getting away with it because he was enthroned.

The question is still open. Who is really running/ruining the government?

Is it the RW oligarchs in this country (Adelson, Mercer, Koch)? Or foreign influences?

Is the (r)epuglcon party really that capable of subverting real governance throughout the nation? I know most of the elected things are morons but do their think-tanks really have better thinkers than us?

Does the M$M really bare much of the responsibility for not being more questioning, more fair in their reporting? How about some of the channels that appear to have more liberal pundits (MSNBC)?

Can the blogosphere with its millions of different faces counter a determined effort to kill democracy?

Can federal and state elections make thing "right" again if the adversary is willing to cheat by every means possible?

Sorry, too many questions. Wake me when we have the answers. Or, probably, better not.
