As usual, with every email that says "forward to everyone you know," there is a shred of truth and a bucket of bull*hit in it.

Truth seems to have little or nothing to do with anything in this fight; the only thing that counts to either side is winning. Winning, apparently, at any cost. Any cost to someone else, meaning cost to us, the people.

None of them seem to be "FOR" anything or anyone but themselves. They all seem to be "AGAINST" everybody else.

More and more, I am "FOR" taking our country back from all of them. They are not in it for us and they are not in it for our country, they are in for themselves. BOTH damned sides. It's veterans against veterans, for goodness' sake. And now it's so-called "combat veterans" for or against everything, as if that makes them somehow more "veteran" than "veteran" veterans. Horse*hit.

Plenty of flu vaccine available in DC, folks, and nobody on "The Hill", Republican or Democrat, is standing in any damned line to get a shot.

This is a sad situation that will get worse on its own until we fix it, and the only people who can fix it are the people. These weasel politicians have stolen our country from us, and they will continue to slop from a bigger and bigger private trough of self-made privilege unless we put them ALL out and start over.
