so fucking corrupt, the 'leaders' we have, they don't care if their corruption is front and center. And yeah, with this 'little deletion' they have their middle finger sticking up at us all. geez How did money corruption get this prominent in our system. The RW has corrupted our system foe all of us for a long time to come, if not permanently. The start of the death of this system of government was the reagan administration, the coup de gras for our system of government was the bush cabal theft of election(s) in 2000. While many on here are still excusing the theft by saying gore "fought it all the way to SCOTUS"!!!!! It was a theft. Period. This system of politics running this country now, SHIT!!! SHIT I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
