For 16 years, Congress has had wisdom and vision on both sides of the aisle as Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul have brought integrity to a government that has been quickly going out of control.
For much longer than a century, members of the U.S. Government have allowed themselves to be purchased and owned by the highest bidders.
Abraham Lincoln warned about the rise of corporations in much the same way the Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the rise of the Military Industrial Complex. Both of these special interests have worked overtime through the years, wining and dining members of Congress, purchasing their souls and getting these sell-outs to vote against their consciences and human decency. Do you really think someone who wasn't bought and paid for would vote for the PATRIOT Act or for the NDAA?
In the minds of the public, politicians have become lumped with used car salesmen and lawyers as one of the professions most lacking in integrity. (Writers note: until recent years, this comparison may have been unfair to the profession of law.) Lack of ethics is considered essential for most election victories, with rare exceptions.
With all the betrayals, Americans desperately needed heroes and found them in Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Together, these two men have stood up against free trade policies that sent jobs overseas, against wars, for ending the Federal Reserve, for open transparent government, against the death penalty, against voter fraud, against creeping fascism in the form of the PATIOT Act, the Real ID Act, and the NDAA, and in support of the American people.
