Do you want to know who is running the country, or not?

That's easy - the lobbyists and big money donors. Legislation is driven by them. When you see crazy spending bills, when you see policy shifts, when you see government contracts that don't seem to make a lick of sense, you need only follow the money. When you hear about the Department of Homeland Security instituting new scanners, you need only look at who is behind those scanners and what ties they have to the government, whether it be lobbying or donations.

I see that in Texas all the time especially, since there aren't restrictions on campaign donations for state offices. People wonder why over the last 10 years Perry has spoken out in support of open borders, LULAC, guest worker programs, La Raza, etc. and my answer has always been: It's simple, his biggest donor is a homebuilder and he's had a billionaire Democrat grocer backing him at times as well. Of course he's going to try and legitimize LULAC or La Raza or guest worker programs.

My only question here is how much the Muslims donated to Perry to get him to support teaching Islamic history in Texas schools?

As for the idea that we should leave the government in the hands of career politicians, that's laughable, especially since we are Conservatives. The career politicians are the ones in the driver's seat who have been dismantling this country and our freedoms bit by bit. Because so few people support term limitations in Congress or just out and out replacing them on our own, it's only going to get a lot worse.
