No, you are cynical of everything, and that makes you a spectator...being a spectator and being against everything in a free society is really a coward...
Alexander Hamilton said: Those who stand for nothing fall for anything. Well, those that have no ideas or optimism get what they deserve...I am skeptical of government, but I am also skeptical of corporations and special interests.
The way I see the current state of the two national parties...one party is trying to address our nation's problems, and one party is trying to undermine that effort solely for political gain and to regain power... what's left of the current GOP is authoritarians and radicals. Everyone else has sided with the Democrats...
Example...Let's look at our broken health care system. We pay twice as much as any other industrialized nation and our outcomes rank with Slovenia and Cuba. The root cause is pharmaceutical corporations that have American taxpayers subsidizing their costs and insurance corporations that make medical decisions that brutally interferes with the doctor/patient relationship. Over 60% of the personal bankruptcies in America are due to medical costs, AND 75% HAD health insurance. These corporations have successfully gained influence and legislation that has rigged the system and undermined a free market.
BUT...Republicans STAND WITH the corporations over the well being of businesses, families and the American PEOPLE...and I find it amazing that right wing followers stand WITH them... it is WHY I call them PEA brains...
I don't find it the least bit amazing that you rarely know WTF you're talking about.....

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
The Tribune-Review Publishing Company is owned by an heir to the Mellon banking, oil, and aluminum fortune, Richard Mellon Scaife.
Scaife Foundations
The Scaife Foundations consist of the Sarah Mellon Scaife Foundation, the Carthage Foundation, the Allegheny Foundation and the Scaife Family Foundation. All four have been heavily involved in financing conservative causes under the direction of reclusive billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, whose wealth was inherited from the Mellon industrial, oil, uranium and banking fortune.
The Mellon fortune is built on at least 5 pillars; the family's ownership of Gulf Oil Corporation, the family's monopoly ownership of Alcoa and Alcan going back to 1891, ownership of Koppers and Carborundum corporations, and their participation in the uranium cartel.
Between 1985 and 2001, the Sarah Mellon Scaife Foundation donated $15,860,000 to the Heritage Foundation; $7,333,000 to the Institute for Policy Analysis; $6,995,500 to the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; $6,693,000 to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS); $4,411,000 to the American Enterprise Institute; $2,575,000 to the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research; $1,855,000 to the George C. Marshall Institute; $1,808,000 to the Hudson Institute; and $1,697,000 to the Cato Institute.
