4. One and one makes...how much?

Amazed it's taken this long for these questions to surface.
1) Stealing elections. The US has been hijacking elections since 1947.
Does anyone think the same people would be reluctant to do it here?
The fact that Nixon, Creep, et. al. got caught and served time doesn't
inhibit these low-lifes. They get off on it.
2) The YouTube incident. Transparent. Romney jumped the gun. Too cute.

The same old same old. We really have got to come to grips with a huge problem.
Internet discourse is fine but we're preaching to the choir. We will vote and with
any luck, Romney will become a footnote. That leaves us where we started. IMHO,
nothing will happen unless there is fundamental reform. The last time anything
happened due to popular outrage, the war in Viet Nam wound down. Nixon had
to be evicted and it took forever for due process to run its course.
Now an entire Congress of kleptocrats has to be dealt with ( Sunday's Washngton
Post article re: Congressial Democrats achieving financial parity with the GOP.)
The internet won't cut it. The Senate and Congress have been corrupted by the
one per cent. They bankers brag about beong able to buy both sides.p
There's an earlier post with a short clip featuring FDR. Any of you haven't heard FDR
on the "malefactors of great wealth" and "economic royalism," you need to see it.
Transparency is critical. Get !The Hill" app. Read up on the House Committes so you
can follow the money. We have got a lot of work to do.
