Does anyone have a link for
a site that tell how exactly the government runs? I'm tired of dealing with Tea Idiots who believe that the President pulls an idea out of a hat, and it's law.

1. No I don't but I would prefer pulling laws out of a hat
to letting the tea party be in charge, because at least with pulling stuff out of a hat, we would have the chance to get some good laws.

6. I know that I am really dating myself here,
but we used to call that "Civics", and where I went to school it was a required class in 9th grade. Apparently it was discontinued years ago. I have no idea why.

7. Simple...
An organization buys several congressmen through campaign contributions or other monetary benefit to the lawmaker...
Congress passes laws to benefit the interests of the lobbyists.
