Why is it that every time I read a "follow
the money" expose in a Republikan deal..Dubai i.e. the same cast of sleazy characters seam to surface. Baker Botts-James Baker, Carlyle, Halliburton and subs. It is amazing how these groups are related and intertwined. Isn't a fact that our democracy has been outsourced to deal makers, lobbyists, corporates and money makers.

2. Democracy aka Oligarchy. At least in 'Murka.
The Big Bosses give us a choice of the Little Bosses we get to vote for and feel good about living in a "democracy".
