Quantcast

Especially since almost everyone you talk to is upset with the government and wants to see some changes made,do you think EVERY ONE of those people should make an effort to do something to fix what's going on, even if it's in a very minor way?

    That's what I keep screaming about on my show. The lying/partisan media is in bed with the crooked politicians, the crooked politicians are in bed with the special interests and the special interests hve bought our country out from under the people.

    But, amazingly, the people listen to the lying/partisan media, they always vote for the crooked politicians and ignore the special interests.

    It is what I have seen since the 1960 election (even though I was only 8 but in retrospect) and has gotten worse. Isn't crooked and politician in the same sentence oxymoronic?

    What is your show?

    The sad thing is that "politician" and "crooked" are not SUPPOSED to be synonymous.
    I think you and I are about the same age so you may remember things the way I do. I seem to recall when a really crooked politician stood out in the crowd, and now it's the HONEST politician who stands out, if you can FIND one.

    And the show is called The Gut Reaction Journal http://bit.ly/kVOlSa (safe link) and a new issue should be up tonight or tomorrow. Feedback, pro or con always appreciated.

    Missed Woodstock as I was out of town, but a friend bought an actual ticket for me.
    Agree, we screwed up. A LOT of these criminals in Congress are of OUR generation. We should have seen that coming.

    The government (our elected officials of both parties) have become complacent and of the mind that they can do anything they want regardless of the majority will of the American Citizen.
    They create "dog and pony show" conflicts to give the appearance of being on one side or the other while lining their pockets via "insider trading" and "porkulus spending bills" awarded to family and friends.
    It's obvious that "no congressman / congresswoman" is going to address or support a "term limit" on their tenure feeding off the "cash cow" that has become our government so it's up to the American voter to "impose" term limits on every one of them by "VOTING OUT ALL INCUMBENTS".
    It doesn't matter who they are or what party they belong too.........VOTE THEM OUT IN NOVEMBER sending a strong message to those not up for reelection that the American public is taking their government back and will no longer tolerate the massive fraud that is being perpetrated against them by "ELECTED PUBLIC SERVANTS".

    Pelosi claimed she was going to "drain the swamp" and just about every elected official has made similar claims of "going to clean up Washington D. C." and yet daily the headlines are filled with yet another scandal involving sex, drugs, and money. They have failed to do the job so it's up to...

    Yes. And one of the greatest ways that citizens can take control of their government is by taking control of their own lives / actions. Start with yourself, be your own governor. It's quite difficult to "govern" those who govern themselves. It may seem like a minor thing, but it's a very big thing, and the first step to taking back our government.

    What would help is if people would become better informed and quit getting all of their ''news' from the talking heads on cable. There are numerous news sources with political investigative journalists. Also... youtube is not a reliable news source.
