The system has been gamed. Completely.
The inside-the-beltway crowd -- the bunch that prospers under a statist government -- has maneuvered things, via judicious application of money, so that in the final analysis IT DOES NOT MATTER who "wins the election."
"We the people" have been trained to view politics as a form of professional sports. Yay, f'n team. *yawn*
Two sides, each raving mad for "their team", doing whatever they can "for the team", with NO thought given to the country -- no concept of what any of it means.
All they care about is "their" team "winning the pennant" in November.
We're about two stump speeches away from having the Party Faithful accusing "dissenters" of treason for "lack of loyalty to the party."
Get real, people. We have ONE party. It's "The Political Party."
It does NOT matter which side "wins the series" -- because whichever side wins, it's always business as usual. Good grief, the surprising thing is NOT that some people get it. The surprising thing is that most people DON'T get it.
I agree Don Joe.
