THE NUMBER ONE REASON given for the Congressional upset |
|
was NOT our Congresscritters not playing nicely together. It was CORRUPTION. Please take note. We are here to take out the trash. By whatever means necessary. The people want the place cleaned up. We aim to please. Republicans SHOULD be running scared, because if we do the job the people sent us to do, the rest will take care of itself.

2. I think so. And note too, that there will ALWAYS be corruption on |
|
this grand, massive scale until there is finally serious campaign finance reform involving pubic financing of campaigns.
And if it takes a constitutional amendment to rid ourselves of the proposition that spending $$$$$$$$$ = free speech, then it's time to get to work on that, too.

3. It permated through the protective media bubble |
|
MSM only mentioned the vast corruption when someone was arrested or sentenced other than that they never mentioned it but yet it stuck with the general public. They remembered it.

9. Yes. Just because we didn't have hurricanes this year.......... |
|
Doesn't mean we don't have to be prepared for next year and the ones after.
And does anyone believe we are?
