The end of the political machine was brought about by laws limiting individual campaign contributions. Unlimited Corporate/special interest contributions are still allowed. Follow the money. Our vote is second guessed by super delegates, we can't financially assist, as individuals, in getting a person elected . . . therefore, loyalties flow to those who effect our representatives. Second, most politicians are officers/directors, or maintain ties to such entities. Presently, there is a move for global domination, which has resulted in a desire to collapse the U.S. Federal Government . Most politicians/corporations are securing their funds over seas, while leveraging for power in the new one world order they envision replacing current forms of government. I call it treason - the design to end the United States as a viable entity and create a new world order. Do people really understand that a new world order cannot exist without the end of the U.S. Federal a a world power?
