And yes, we don't have it as bad as some think. I'd like to keep it that way.
Unfortunately, if we continue to elect more guys like Idi Amin Jr., and "manly" Harry Reid, you're going to get Mao and Stalin in time. They know that the fastest way to get power is to buy votes with OPM.
And power is all they really seek. I seriously doubt either one got where they were because they have a sincere love of country, or concern for their fellow man.
