An example of the problems the younger generation will have to deal with because of the crap that's in-office now, is Senator 'Chuckie' Schumer (D-NY) conspiring with fellow Senators to derail the budget reduction effort by Republicans, by telling them to call the cuts "Extreme". Trying to make the other side look bad in the long run, at the expense of doing what's right, but also against the 'will' of the American People. How do turds like him stay in office?
Because most of the American populous is just too [m'kay]' lazy to go out and vote for a new person.
Take the former president pro-tempore, before he kicked the bucket:
Former KKK clansmen, here's part of a letter he wrote to the Senator of Mississippi:
I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
He served for almost 60 years - shows just how corrupt one can be to keep being elected, and the sheer ignorance of the general American public.
Keep in mind, this was the guy who was THIRD in line in the line of succession...thank God it never came to that.
Or, how about this old fossil?:
He served for 40 years before getting evicted after failing to report gifts and then making false statements.
At least he got convicted...but it's a testament to the corruption of this nation that he's only the fifth senator to be convicted by a jury in our nation's history.
Hopefully people will realize that voting the same person in office for decades doesn't help change the crap happening in Washington right now sooner, rather than later....
