  1. This is widespread corruption. by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 1, Troll


    I'm very interested in being intellectually honest.

    This is not a case of politics as usual. The Bush administration is involved in widespread corruption. As I mentioned above, I put links to 3 movies and 35 books that all say that the U.S. government is more corrupt now than it has been in the memory of living people: Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government. Some of the authors are former Bush administration officials.

    I'm independent myself, but I like some of those who call themselves Republican. I like McCain. I like Giuliani. I can see both of them have their inner conflict and their shortcomings. I'm not expecting government leaders to be perfect. However, deliberately selling government power to special interests is different than being imperfect.
