[...] Conservatives trust Republicans far less than they used to trust them (Washington Post, h/t Mountain Sage, emphasis added): Just 23 percent in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll said they trust [...]

Sage, here, here on your observations. I hate to be cynical, but maybe we are witnessing a conclusion to a wonderful 200 year old experiment in democracy. Our moral and ethical values have shifted from being based on absolutes to being defined by a combination of situation, ethnicity, social, and popular culture. What was a continuous fabric of our culture has been replaced by individual outposts like your site, which still have a connection back to the values and common sense that was at the core of what made our country exceptional.

I have to agree that all the (well most all) politicians in Washington and State levels are corrupt and there is no way to replace them as money talks. These people speak of money in the trillion as we speak of it as enough to get by with for the week or month which ever it is that we get the payday or retirement check! The ones that we see getting caught in corruption is the ones that has double crossed the other crook and gets reported by the one they cross! Good post and really makes a person think! Thanks!

Sage, the solution may be to rid Congress entirely and start over. Republicans and Democrats are all the same. Our entire system is flawed.

Forget Monica, this stuff is what worries me: SOURCE: AP 10 minutes ago………

WASHINGTON – Former President Bill Clinton’s foundation has raised at least $46 million from Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments that his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton may end up negotiating with as the next secretary of state.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gave $10 million to $25 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit created by the former president to finance his library in Little Rock, Ark., and charitable efforts to reduce poverty and treat AIDS. Other foreign government givers include Norway, Kuwait, Qatar, Brunei, Oman, Italy and Jamaica. The Dutch national lottery gave $5 million to $10 million.

The Blackwater Training Center donated $10,001 to $25,000. The State Department — to be led by Hillary Clinton if she is confirmed — will have to decide next year whether to renew Blackwater Worldwide’s contract to protect U.S. diplomats in Iraq. Five Blackwater guards have been indicted by a U.S. grand jury on manslaughter and weapons charges stemming from a September 2007 firefight in Baghdad’s Nisoor Square in which 17 Iraqis died.
