Pathetic because this year they are so obvious about it. Remember, this is all about power. More than military strength, power is money. That's what this is all about. Just like Pappy's War in the Gulf.
Money drives the machine.
The United States has enjoyed eight years of high employment and expanding opportunities. We've now given the reins of power to a cowboy. I must be going insane. If we weren't all watching it on TV you would think this election was held in a third world banana republic. The greedy compassionate conservatives who have been out of power for 8 long years have overthrown the government.
