(18,124 posts)still a country and politicians run and controlled, respectively, by the money machine(corporations). A politician must pass corporate muster before he can be considered able to run for the occupancy of 1600. Rethug or democrat, he/she has to kneel before the throne of corporate money and power and swear obedience to king money. Usually in a dirty back room out of sight of the unwashed masses(voters). After Nov 63, the rest of the assassinations in that decade, my service to a corrupt war and watching all Presidents I voted for either marginalized(carter) to ineffectiveness, break very important promises to the people, push agendas that hurt the people(clinton)--nafta, deregulation of media, to finally the surveillance nightmare foisted upon my President, I have had to face reality. It does not matter what party occupies 1600, at the bottom of all this betrayal of democratic principle by rethug and democrat leaders, money. Election and nominees bought and sold. I hope, at least with democrats, they were not as gleefully ready to acquiesce to the throne of money and corporate power as the Reagan, Bush-Bush, Cheney cabal. I'm done with this whole bubble dweller thread. Have a good one.
