SPIN METER: Dems rake in special interest dollars
While the linked article above takes the Dems to task for their hypocrisy in raising money from special interests, it also talks about the influence of moneyed interests in all the campaigns -- including those of Obama and the GOP candidates for office.
Until the money of big business, Wall Street, unions, and other special interests is excised from the elections process, we'll continue to get more of the same. That includes a government that caters to those interests and elected representatives who pay little attention to the needs of "we, the people."
The love of money is the root of all evil -- and Washington loves money. Starve Washington of money and maybe they'll start paying attention to the average voters again. Will that ever happen? We can only hope.

And then we can tackle the serious problems of how to get the economy going again. That's just for starters, of course.
Did I mention lots and lots of prayer?

Angry Electorate
Glenn, one of my favorite Reagan quotes is this:
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" That's so true.
