On to New Hampshire

The transparency of the corruption in American politics amazes me and has for a long time now.

A handful of multimillionaires fight it out to see which one of them can be the most vulgar.

Yet people willingly turn a blind eye.

Millions are spent on attack ads that mostly avoid the need for policy decisions that should be on the front burner in any political debate.

Serious debate rarely happens, replaced by a sideshow of poor punditry and gossip that would make a starlet blush.

Elections are bought and sold like commodities, the seat to the highest bidder while we are bombarded with nonsense and egoism of the ugliest variety.

People are persuaded to believe that the essence of politics is who can fart the loudest and make the biggest stink.

The process reeks of course, and it is the fault of every American who buys the package and allows it to happen by repeatedly voting against his best interests.

In the main, the largest segment of U.S. society gets raped while the fat cats dance off with the spoils.

It's a crying shame, but it'll likely never change.
