Flying Under Our Radar

I suppose that backroom dealing and sneaky underhanded politics have always been par for the course in Washington D.C. That era should have ended with the transparency that C-Span and the Internet bring to Government. So the question is; why is it still politics as usual in Washington? The answer is simple; because we the American People allow it. One of the classic dirty tricks in D.C. is to take a popular spending Bill, and attach a bunch of other unpopular crap to it at the last moment. This gives the unpopular legislation attached, a greater chance of passage, while attracting the least amount of attention. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein is attempting to sneak an illegal alien amnesty measure into the Iraq supplemental war spending bill. This is a clear attempt to circumvent the will of the people, and pass this illegal alien amnesty, while attracting the least amount of attention. A similar immigration Bill was defeated recently in Congress. Senator Feinstein should be immediately recalled. How long will we put up with this kind of crap? The politicians in D.C. have been taking advantage of the indifference of the American People. The sad fact is that many people are not all that concerned with what is going on in the Country when times are good. But right now things are not all that good. With the many threats to our security, soaring food costs, and gas at 4 dollars a gallon, plenty of people will be watching our leaders moves more closely. The powers that be should be on notice. If things keep on going the way they are, we are sure to see the rise of a viable third political party that may just upset the establishment.
