Oh come on people. Quit complaining. This is our democratic government in action. We're all Americans and we all have votes. We voted for these people and as such should respect their decisions. The government acts on the will of the people, so we chose this didn't we? Doesn't the government act in the interest of the people? Or perhaps the government is good, but the current politicians aren't. Perhaps we need good politicians in office. I mean, of course it takes corporate sponsorship to get there, but I'm sure a good person can make it into office on the backs of corporations and/or unions and then tell them no once they're in office. Anyway, I'd just like to say I support our government, right or wrong, because if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have roads, we'd be speaking German, society would break down into warring tribes, etc.
