People are kind of vaguely against the wall, but then they trust the politicians who profit from it to end the war. Ridiculous. If people would quit whining about corrupt politicians and start holding them accountable by not VOTING for their asses. Or if they do, by keeping tabs on them and making sure they're actually carrying out their will we wouldn't be here. But people would much rather the MSM inform them of what congress is doing and villify independent sources like thsi website as "left wing nut jobs." This is what you call journalism, doesn't matter if its pro or anti-one particular party. Americans are to blame for how their politicians act. Period.

Wow you got a lot from my 2 sentences. I agree with most of it though. We need to stop voting for the same old politicians. I have an informal rule of voting against all incumbents, and I dont care about whether they need 20 years to understand how the govt works.
