38. How can people not see just how we are being manipulated. At one time the Republicon Party

Fri May 8, 2015, 05:12 PM

May 2015

was a viable party that leaned a little heavy on the conservative side. Now it is made up of idiots. So what happened? Some of the gullible think it's an act of nature and really cool. That's bull-crap. It wasn't an act of nature but a carefully conspired plot to create a one Party (Conservative) system. Actually a brilliant plan. Run the Republicon Party off the cliff and that leaves only one choice for Conservatives, the Democratic Party. Next step is for the Oligarchs to fund the Conservative Democrats and 'voila' you have neutralized the Left and essentially have a one party system. Clinton scrapes Glass-Steagall, the other Clinton lies about WMD and, Obama pushes the TPP. We live in an Oligarchy and the Wash DC Democrats serve our masters.
