millions of american voters think they know something, have some facts, got a feel for some truthiness, vote the way dad or the preacher votes.....
all of that is based on the faulty logic that they live in a democracy and their vote is their voice. suckers.
spend a $125 million on an election, yep, now ya got a voice.

Money is the mothers milk of politics. Always has and probably always will.

Some say it's the mega-bankers who run the world via the illuminati/Bilderbergers/NWO/Trilateral Commission/Masons/[fill in the blank]. The corporate people who donate to politicians are as naively out of that loop as the voters are. Most donate to both parties, so it hardly matters anyway.

I believe it's the Concrete Goose Consortium that truly calls all the shots. You may have seen them before - they signal to each other using fowl clothing.
