You are too much of a pessimist. If people like yourself, would support people and organizations(in both financial support and volunteering) who want to end the invasion maybe there could be a different outcome. We elected the politicians and they must be held accountable for their actions by us one way or another.

You know less about me than you do about politicians.

I'm sixty years old and have been involved with politics since I was old enough to vote. That includes many many hours of volunteering and many dollars invested in support of both parties.

It also includes many years of watching politicians in Washington lie to their people and sell our country to the highest bidder whether it be,big business, special interest groups,or foreign governments.

I have never seen the Washington crowd as out of touch with the people as the last two administrations are and it gets worse daily.

They could care less what you, I and large majorities of the American people do, say, or want for our country.

That's why I say they are going to pass this amnesty bill in one form or another regardless of what you, I, or the majority of Americans want.

You say I'm a pessimist, maybe you're right, I like to think of myself as a realist.

At least I know that some slick talking lawyer/politician cannot piss down my back and tell me it's raining, at least not more than once.

Some dreamers can't seem to get enough and I don't see how they can keep from drowning.

If you are buying what they are shoveling out of Washington in the last two administrations then you've certainly got the right screen name.
