Saddly, I believe that a large number of people are being manipulated and deceived by the liberal media and that the leftist politicians are simply playing a power game, rather than serving our nation.

Answer 3

Yes but I can admit that I may not be completely correct. Money talks and those that have the most money have the most power and influence. Why else is everything getting so crappy? What kind of future do the next generations have? Someone has been asleep or someone has been fixing things for a select group of individuals.  

Answer 4

Yes, it called the federal government.

435 representatives in the House

100 senators in the Senate

1 president

9 supreme court justices

That's a total of 545 people or .000193% of the population calling the shots. Does that count as a small group of powerful people?

Answer 5

yes I do.  Why the secret, behind closed door, meetings with the energy sector.  Why are those meetings being kept secret by executive order? That is what happens when you try to run government like a business.  In business there are always winners and losers?  Who do you think the winners and losers are?

Answer 6

The word for that is Oligarchy....I don't believe it yet but if McCain wins it will happen & they will get so powerful we the people will be controlled by them.

Answer 7

Like the presidential cabinet? Or the Illuminati? I don't think the Illuminati exists anymore.
