    Politics and corruption go hand in hand,.........but, maybe moreso now than ever before!  From the article it would seem the media identified
    is at least managed by people with connections to the Republican

    Got it figured out?  They recieve more of America’s foreign aid dollars
    than any other country,...they’ve been a burden on the backs of Americans for almost 60 years!
    And “little george” and those criminals in Washington are still sending them tons of money that has to be borrowed from our enemies!

    if the paint sticks slng it ..is great. not knowing the truth about this administration is the reason the poll numbers arenot lower than they are
    and this is a good way to get things moving in the right direction.
    you ask me to be respectful and try to stay on the main topic, but
    ive got to say this. im 67 yrs old and been a democrat all my life and in all those yrs i have never seen such a do-nothing democratic party as
    we have now. if we can get the truth out enough to get the public
    talking and checking we are on the right path
