As an american, I dont feel like my vote, or voice has any effect in OUR govern't. Maybe Im just on the wrong team, but when I look around and the majority of people around me also think the same, and Im talking people from both parties here. And the same plan seems to continue.... endless wars, companies moving out of countries, tax breaks for the richest, cuts on good working social programs.... etc.... yeah I think someone else is pulling the strings.
Whats worse, is the brain washing of people here. If you are a christian, therefore you are a rebublican. If you are a democrat well then you cant be a christian.
Then you see right winged christian supporters cheer over billboards that read.... "only god can judge terrorist, its the mission of the marine corp to arrange the meeting"
That is basically saying its our mission to kill anyone labeled a terrorist. Isn't killing a sin? Once you labeled a person a terrorist, did you not just judge that person? And what makes you a terrorist in the first place? The people here are so brain washed that they cant seem to think for themselves. They hear it supported in our most sacred places, and take the word that it is the truth, and that they are rightous people. This is not an attack at Rebublican or Faithful people, most I have met think along the same lines as I do, the middle path. But this is what you see in the media. It seems to me that there is an active campaine to separate the american people. To keep them confused to what is going on, and to divert all attention to other meaningless issues... gay marriage, Obama's birth cert, the NFL, NBA, the new fall season of TV, The lates Hollowood Drama.... so on and on.

Excellent points! We can vote every election and only get different faces but same old policies, and politicans reporting to their same old corporate bosses. When was the last time a new administration reversed the decisions of a previous administration?? Politician play on the people's emotions and then once elected keep the same policies but describe the situation with words that caters to the audience. So if you're democrat they say redistribute taxes so everyone has a fair shot and if you're republican, they say cut taxes. In either case it seems to be all about lowering income taxes... lol.
And why do they want starve the government of resources and make the masses poor (and perhaps 1% wealthy)? This is the question we should all be asking?
