There may be that pretense... but it's simple enough to examine the results.
[size 18]The government is less and less responsive to the wishes of the people because it is being run (as usual) by the big money corporations through their lobbyists. That we get anything useful passed anymore is a total miracle. [/size]
Ideally it is supposed to work for the benefit of the many but this Tower of Babel situation we have these days with splintered and designer "news" outlets has created a condition that doesn't support a rational discussion. As they say we are all entitled to our own opinions but not our own facts. Well, throw that out 'cause facts are not what they used to be. People believe what they want to believe, like the President is from Kenya, etc. because they WANT that to be true. It is a crazy time we live in.
You're party is in charge of the government and has been for seven years. If what you say is true, then it is the fault of the Progressives and Democrats.
You have never been able to dispute with reliable sources and links the FACTS I have posted and then you chose to hang your hat on Kenya? That's all you have isn't it? What about discussing the FACTS of:
The Fast and Furious massive gun scandal costing the life of one of our federal agents and only one of the perpetrators being held accountable
The growing massive IRS scandal with no one responsible or accountable
The massive AP scandal with no one responsible or accountable
The massive NSA scandal with no one responsible or accountable
The horrid and ignored Benghazi scandal where organized
al Qaeda terrorists planned and executed an attack on one of our embassies murdering four Americans and our Ambassador for the first time in over 30 years
Then the crowning failure, ObamaCare which even accounts for President Barack Hussein Obama winning the LIAR OF THE YEAR award.
Record rate and number of those in Poverty
Record rate and number of people on Food Stamps
Record rate and number of people going from unemployment to...disability for permanent handouts.
Record LOW rate of workers in the market working.
And the BEAT goes ON!
