The most important question to ask our politicians - "Who's running the show - the fat cats or the People"?

While the political dicourse has many subtopics like race, debt, military and socialism, it all boils down to this: "Who's really running the Show"?

The fact is, the source of all political problems and solutions can be found in this one simple question! Look at Ron Paul's focus and the subject of his books. Does he see the problem and the solution? Is he trying to tell us something?

While most of our problems flow from the fountain of concealed control, the beast can not be confronted if "we allow them" to remain hidden behind the veil of confusion. This is why the most salient question we can ask our politicians is - Who's really running the show! The fat cats or the People!

No doubt, the people feel like they have been snookered. If we can free the debate from the fog of perphireal issues - then and only then do the patriots have a fighting chance.

"This is why the most salient question we can ask our politicians is - Who's really running the show! The fat cats or the People!"

Never ask a question if you can't handle the foreseeable answer.
In this case, if cornered to respond, any politician would readily shout "we're with the FAT CATS!"

At which point you'd be conked in the head and dragged-off to jail for violation of article 345.43 of the Secret Patriot Act Laws, which unfortunately for you is SECRET, which means you'll never know what you were charged with.

YES WE CAN! (suspend habeus corpus, that is)

@ rhonda...i agree with you...

The attitude of this congressman is absolutely unforgivable, even for irresponsible California! Continually re-electing this imbicile certainly does not speak well for the collective intellect of the state and district that sent him to congress. . . . to write laws for the rest of us. The omnipotent attitude exhibited by this servant of the people gave me the trots! He obviously has an axe to grind with the NRA, the Minutemen and the majority of Americans in this country. Please California voters, remove this moron and pay attention to the world around you, it is more than sunshine, theme parks, silver screen glitz and wine country. Times are serious, we need honorable, intelligent people to serve this country. . . . not career politicians! There is no evidence that a career politician can do a better job in ANY office than an honorable and successful person from the private sector. This idiot is totally disconnected from reality and normal American Citizens. He is not cute, clever or sharp and his attempts to be so are pathetic, ignorant and disrespectful. I'm not amused. My biggest fear however, is not people like Pete Stark. Unfortunately, there are millions like him whose integrity and principles are for sale and on sale 24/7!! My fear is that the people who elected him will continue to act in a similarly irresponsible manner and his replacement will just be more of the same. On the other hand, and my last point, there are no laws that provide truth in advertising protection against ANY politician's lies! They can lie to us without consequence, but we can go to prison if we lie to them! This needs to change!! What we see is rarely what we get and once they are in they have time to do a tremendous amount of damage, fatten their coffers and the coffers of thoir special interest friends, (by adding Pork, eartags to almost all bills that are passed), at taxpayer expense and there truly seems to be nothing we can do about it. It is time for America to wake up and take back the control of our country and out of control government! It would be nice to actually know "who is running the show", but frankly I think there would be armed revolt if we ever did find out for certain! Still, it would be nice to know and while we are at it, it would be nice to know who actually killed JFK!
