Politicians speak in strange verse,
And don't tell me it has been worse.
Those on the right doublespeak too,
The leftist busy with their coups.
All they're doing, fanning the flames,
And pointing fingers, putting blame.

Not just America. Politicians are the same everywhere... however, a politican is only as good as the people who support him/her. There is a catch somewhere...

Of course you are correct, and that is why the word "sheeple" is being bandied around these days.

Thank you for you right-on comments, TreasureFort.

Remember the Tea Party in the history books?
Well, we're no better off now ... except we have "representation" and not just the "king", calling the shots.

Among other things . . . have you noticed how little "representation" the RNC has gotten by the Obama-media....?  Just watch, we'll be inundated with the DNC.

I hope you are wrong, J, but the leaders of the Republican part are afraid to criticize that man. Yes, I pay attention to how inept insofar as representation the RNC gives us.

Our current political situation reminds me of the Razzle Dazzle song from the movie Chicago (how appropriate). "Give 'em the old razzle dazzle. Razzle dazzle 'em and they'll beg you for more."

You got it right, Ida, they have been giving us the old Razzle-Dazzle, but I have a feeling the Razzle has Dazzled out.
