get what they deserve. I'm growing weary of advocating for a populous that wines, bitches and moans and then 46% turn out to vote. If America falls it is because of apathy and not any particular politician. Most Americans are fine scraping by as long as they have thier cell phones, cable tv and can visit the gulf for a week every year.
