The only way this is going to change is if we have a revolution. The Neocon's in both parties are more interested in their money and empire building then pissing off the nation.
Why?
Because they know that no matter what they control the country. Almost every single person I talk to has no idea who they are voting on in local elections, and about the same majority of those people don't even know the voting history of people they put in office.
The politicians have succeeded in numbing down America enough that they can control them with fear and buzz words. They can shout inspiring speeches and talk about "NO NEW TAXES!" or "Change We can Believe in!" and mindless lumps around the country file into the voting booth.
After they wake up from the stupor they realize holy crap we have a shitty situation here, but by the time the new elections roll around they fall for it all over again. Ever get the feeling of hopelessness? Maybe it is time for force, not just words. Too bad like all other things these days there would be a lot of posts about it, and minimal action other then hot air.
