Politics in America is very hard to understand. When you have the likes of Ted Kennedy and wannabe war "hero" John Kerry in the North and Byrd in the South it makes you wonder where is the Solomon like justice in this country. They all think they do no wrong, yet abuse power like they are royalty and above the law. There are no strong, honest and dedicated politicians in America today. All are self serving and in closing...what promises are made to get a job that pays $200,000.00 per year and people give you 10's of millions in contributions? They expect to buy you for that money. It is apparent, they do. Hillary Clinton is a "carpetbagger" that could not get elected to anything in her homestate of Arkansas, so she moves to NY to get the support of the welfare people who like her...big free government giveaways to those who take the most and contribute the least to this country. The Civil War was much like this current state of affairs, a lot of self serving politicians trying to grab power and control. In Franklin, TN, near where I live, the bloodiest battle of the Civil War was fought with 5 Confederate Generals killed in 6 hours. you can still find battlefield artifacts in the fields and woods in the South.
